1. While in the lobby the next morning, however, I did hear a woman checking out complain (politely) about tepid water in the shower and noise.

"Enjoyable stay in downtown Portland " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/16/2011 Vote

2. Furniture was a bit worn - scratches, scuffs, etc. The bathroom was dated and dark in the shower area.

"Friendly staff, but room needs updating " Read full review on TripAdvisor 9/12/2011 Vote

3. There is no fan, only a vent in the shower, that was completely clogged with nasty looking dust build-up.

"I Expected Better " Read full review on Expedia 9/8/2010 Vote

4. The bathroom had grout work missing, and the shower was gross.

"Cramped in a Tiny Room - Great Lobby, Great Location, Not Great Rooms " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/22/2010 Vote

5. Carpet had not been vacuumed, nothing was dusted in awhile, shower with mold, half used shampoo bottle, stains on bed skirt, and food and pubic hair where mattress sits on bed skirt (a simple pass of the vacuum cleaner would fix this, but obviously not in a long time).

6. We had a large flat-screen TV, a couch, a few chairs, a really large closet, etc. The only downside was that our shower didn't drain well.

7. The shower had a rain style shower head, and I had one of the nicest hot showers I've had at a hotel.

8. In shower pump dispensers would be expected in a $59 hotel room not a suite in a high dollar hotel.

"Average hotel with high cost " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/17/2012 Vote

9. Shower head as different settings and the water pressure was good.
