"A terrific experience. Everything at this hotel was first-class. Great location, amenities, and staff. Book it.2019-08-25"
"If you want a top-quality, modern hotel in a convenient downtown location, and price is no object, then this is the hotel for you. The hotel was spotless, and all the employees were friendly. Both Urban Farmer and The Departure were good restaurants. The concierge and valet parking staff made our stay go smoothly. Having said that, it was slightly overpriced.2015-07-29"
"The hotel was clean, organized, and comfortable. The room had a larger desk for remote work. The valet service was helpful since we weren't familiar with the area. Excellent amenities. The on-site tavern had good food. Stay here.2023-05-08"

"Close to Courthouse Square and shops. The hotel lobby was nice, and the staff was helpful. Good restaurants.2018-09-07"
"Nice, small hotel in a good location, but not worth the price. The room had too many lamps. Nice work space, but I had trouble connecting to the Internet. The bottom bedsheets weren't fitted. No electrical outlet by the bedside table. No counter space in the bathroom for toiletries.2015-10-04"
"The hotel staff was extremely considerate and compassionate about our circumstances. We had to stay longer than expected, but each time we had to add a day, the staff was sincere and helpful. Everyone was exceptionally nice, and the valets made every effort to make our stay comfortable and memorable. I was moved to tears by the note left in our vehicle by one of the valet drivers.2018-12-13"

"The room seemed older, and the bathroom needed updating. There was mold on the bathtub grout. I expected better for the price. We parked in front of the hotel to avoid the valet parking fee.2015-10-21"
"Nice hotel stay. The employees were nice, and I was consistently greeted with a smile and salutation.2019-04-26"
"A beautiful hotel. The bed was comfortable. I didn't like that there was no door on the shower since quite a bit of water ended up on the floor. The robes weren't nice, so bring your own. Nice, accommodating front desk clerks. The bar was nice and had a pretty fireplace and great food. Easy walk to several restaurants and bars. The MAX train stopped just a block away and took us right to the convention center. I liked the small parking lot since the lobby staff could keep an eye on our car.2018-01-17"
"We enjoyed our stay immensely. Walk to the city center. I loved the cool decor at this hotel. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable and had a fluffy duvet. We appreciated the bottled water, coffee maker with pods, and the comfortable chair. The bathroom was clean and modern. Mini cupcakes and coffee were available in the lobby in the afternoon, and Bottle and Kitchen Restaurant was right off the lobby. The food was good and not too expensive. Great place to stay.2017-08-04"
"The hotel was beautiful and extremely clean and comfortable. I was impressed with the professional staff; they were polite and accommodating. Not much variety at breakfast. I had a pleasant experience and plan to stay again.2016-02-07"

"Centrally located and convenient to OHSU. The room was great, with an uber-comfortable bed and excellent shower. I got generous help with my computer. The hotel clerks were friendly and gave us all the information I needed. Our bags were helpfully carted to our room. The checkout clerk was accommodating and provided directions to the hospital. I had a great stay.2022-07-03"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
