I’m from Seattle and have visited Portland many times, so I’m no stranger to unhoused communities. However, I don’t think it’s being adequately addressed in the reviews. This hotel is located in an area surrounded by blocks of unhoused individuals. As a woman traveling with my 14-year-old daughter we did not feel safe outside of the hotel. There were several disturbing things happening, just outside the premises, the overall environment made us feel very uneasy. Inside the hotel, there were multiple signs warning guess not to let anyone in, to make sure doors closed securely behind them, and signs outside discouraging loitering in front of the building. The hotel has no designated parking. Street parking required moving your car every two hours and the overnight parking lots had people loitering in them and a few tents. I considered a secured parking garage, but there weren’t any close. These issues significantly impacted our stay and I would not stay here again. I struggled writing this review as I like the hotel and would stay here again if it were in another location.
