If you travel for business not ideal

This hotel is slightly more upscale than your typical business chain, and it may be a great option for leisure travelers. However, for a business stay, it fell a bit short. The limited breakfast hours (8–10 AM) meant we had to leave without eating, and I couldn’t find any coffee available in the lobby before heading out. Additionally, the room didn’t have a desk, which made it difficult to get work done, something I rarely come across in hotels. On a positive note, the snack room was a nice touch and much appreciated.

Such a beautiful experience

WOW! What an amazing hotel! We had such a beautiful stay and LOVED Portland. The room was so comfortable and quiet. Beautifully appointed too. As an interior designer, I kept taking pictures and videos of all the beautiful details. The hotel company left the most amazing list of restaurants and things to do and we’re so glad we took their advice. We found spots we would never have known about otherwise. The Japanese restaurant they recommend was OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Pros: it's a nice-looking converted house in a good neighborhood. the staff was friendly. and I appreciated their guide to local restaurants, bars and activities. Cons: one of the most uncomfortable hotel beds I've ever slept on. felt similar to a cheap pull-out couch, where you sink to the bottom and can feel a support bar in the middle. we struggled to fall asleep and woke up with aches and pains. completely sub-standard, especially for the price (almost $600/night incl. taxes). also, our bathroom had a cord hanging from the ceiling, with a bare wire where a light fixture would normally be.

A stay at Blind Tiger is like visiting a gracious and stylish friend. There are so many details that helped to make me feel welcome and at home. And the coffee in the morning is delicious! Located in a residential neighborhood instead of a tourist area adds to feeling like a local. And I appreciated the excellent recommendations for places to eat in the "Guide" on the website. Also Check-in and check-out were effortless; even though they were contact-less still felt personal.
