Top Institute of Contemporary Art Hotel Reviews

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Our room was lovely, but the bathroom needs updating. Everything was clean, but showed signs of age inconsistent with a hotel of this level. The location is excellent- walkable and safe. The hotel site indicates “valet parking is available” but should read “required.” We were surprised by the situation. If I returned to Portland, I would stay here again."
