My wife splurged and got the hash which was $19, and came with a whole bunch of potatoes and six tiny cubes of meat. Service ignored us for a good ten minutes after we sat down too. Totally unimpressive.
This morning was the regular breakfast and I had the breakfast sandwich. Bland and no better than a sausage and egg McMuffin. We were sat next to the window and the window sill was covered in crumbs from dinner the night before.
I also question why posters have said Jack Rabbit is so great. $15 credit means $1 after you order the breakfast sandwich. Coffee drinks are $4-5, juice $7. I was also ignored by waiter for at least 5 minutes, while he cleared away the table of another man who had just left and went to chat with another table (that had already gotten their food). Waiters should at least acknowledge you are there, they are busy and will come back to you.
Food isn't great. Nothing special.
It is supposed to be more boutique but obviously has many many rooms, is an older place and they tried to make it new and cool but fell short. Try looking at a Kimpton to see what that means (Kimpton Alexis Seattle). Diamond benefits means 2pm late checkout. Compared to diamond with Hyatt, which at Olive 8 in Seattle gets you $26 for breakfast (which is more than sufficient), meh.
Downtown Portland is very small. Many nice hotels are nearby. Unless you are with Hilton and trying to gain nights no point staying here.
