I love Portland and visit at least one time during summer season. Rates have gone up a lot so this year I went a little earlier. Thought it would be cooler walking around but weather was as hot as July. The hotel is always immaculate. The staff is efficient. The breakfast offerings great, making it a good value. What really stood out was the service. When my transportation to train did not come in a timely fashion, the GM drove me to the train himself. Although, I have experienced this at a Mom and Pa place, I never have from a Chain Hotel. Although ,of course I have used shuttles when shuttles were a thing. I appreciated this person going above and beyond to satisfy a guest. This will be my first choice when in the Portland area again.
