This room was very nice for the price. It’s set up like a mini condo with a living room area, stove and near full-size refrigerator in the kitchen area and plenty of storage. It also has a large window in the bedroom area. The bed was also pretty comfortable. All in all it is definitely a great value in a great area with many shopping and dinning options. We will definitely stay here again.

There is no one on the property, all check in was via AI. The kitchen equipment was adequate for a several day stay. I was booking for a single night for work in Portland. The room was quiet and the bed comfortable.
On line check in process was not great. People were friendly and being so new, we’re still learning the computer software.

Pros:The rooms were immaculate! Full size fridge, microwave, dishwasher, dishes , utensils etc! Nice livingroom area.
Cons: it's contactless but thankfully there was someone at the desk. We got our key cards but they didn't work so luckily she could fix them. I never got the email the last night with directions to check out as promised. But we figured it out.

Room was very clean, could not find a coffee maker in building...seemed strange for extended stay. Biggest issue is the "key". Electronic key system was very unreliable and we were locked out for a period of time. Very disappointing
We loved it! great communication when we had a key problem. 100% would go back. Beautiful place, so clean and nice to relax in

Air conditioning system was making loud clap every 10 minutes, not restful sleep. We arrived late at night, so unfortunately, did not notice right away.
We reserved two rooms via Expedia. Upon arrival we were told we have only one room reserved. At the end, hotel was able to find another room for us,
The kitchen didn’t have everything need to cook, doors kept slamming all night long. Wasn’t a pleasent stay. Doesn’t even have a coffee maker.

The hotel was very very clean, it's new so it should be. Check in was a little different, you need to down load the OpenKey app so you can get in your room. The tub was very deep, which is greet for bath lovers. There was a HUGE TV in the sleeping area and a HUGE (65-70 IN) in the sitting area. I don't drink coffee but I noticed there was not a coffee marker in the room, no blow dryer and no iron/ironing board. The bed was a little on the firm side and the pillows were comfy. I would definitely stay there again.
Check in was a nightmare. Key machine did not work and it took over an hour to get in to a room where the key only worked once. After finally getting in I was assigned a different room as we couldn’t get the key to work.

Bare minimum on amenities. Have to pay if you want room clean other than every 7 days. Has full kitchen but no condiments, coffe maker, or toaster. Only has vending machine for drink or snack options. Only 2 towels for the week. Has work out room and laundry. New hotel so nice and clean. Elevator only next to lobby. Very quiet.
