Girls Night in Portland
Nicely appointment rooms in walkable location. In town to see a show at State Theatre; 5 minute walk from hotel. Parking available for a daily fee. Plenty of dining options in the neighborhood and hotel restaurant was surprisingly good. Staff accommodating and friendly. We had a nice view if the harbor from our room. Would stay again.

Shower controls did not work. No cold water and couldn’t shut the water off. Had to call front desk, maintenance came eating something, he came in put his dirty tool bag on bathroom sink where we had things. He fixed the problem with channel locks, the fixture was “frozen”

Luckily had enough money to pay for the authorization fee and security deposit that they dont disclose when booking. Had to put up over $300 for a $100 room in a place that smelled like cat litter. The authorization/security costs were returned to me but id say its very misleading and sketchy how they go about their business.
