Short Version:
The Good/Excellent - Price as Points/and Cash (9k points is decent, and $90/night is an insanely good deal for this property)
- Breakfast (Quite good, and a standout for the price)
- Rooms (Spacious, comfortable and I like the aesthetic)
- Location (Assuming you like downtown PDX, I do)
The Not Great- Lack of basic stuff in the rooms (No water glasses of any kind, no corkscrew)
- Front desk service (Oh, you want a water glass? We don't really provide those, why don't you check at the bar and see if they'll give you one?)
- Messing up confirmed Globalist room requests
- Expensive ($50/night) Valet Parking (for non Globalists) and no EV Charging Option
- Some street noise on lower floor rooms
Overall: At $90/night (like it was during our stay) this hotel is an insane deal and everyone should stay here. Even at a more normal $150-$200/night, it's still offering a very nice experience, especially for globalists with breakfast.
Your experience more or less tracks my experience a couple months ago (also for around $90/night for a four-night stay). Breakfast really was excellent and such a good value for Globalists, but I suspect the property may curtail that benefit in the coming months/years. I did also like their happy hour.
On the day of check-in, I asked for and was given a suite. I believe we were on the 8th floor, also on the streetcar side, and the noise was still pretty audible from there. Not a huge deal though. One thing that
was a little annoying is that the suites seem to lack a proper desk (which I believe the standard room have), so not great for working. We ended up moving a lamp off of a side table and used that as a desk. Also didn't love the concrete floors—agree with
jlflt385 that they could use a good mopping.
Funnily enough, we parked at the Southpark one night. It definitely seemed like the most secure option nearby and a decent price, and the guys who work there were all friendly and professional. But the walk back from the garage at night was a little sketchier than I would like, so after the first night, we opted to park on the street in front of the hotel (got lucky every night...could literally see our car from our room) and then moved to the Southpark in the morning.
I would advise against parking in the unattended (and unaffiliated) lot next door to the Southpark—saw someone get broken into there.
Would definitely not hesitate to stay here again in the future.
