The property is so nicely appointed. A very cool boutique hotel. The rooms are very comfortable. The staff could be a little friendlier but overall a good experience. Particularly like the s’mores each evening 😊

Great Saturday outdoor market!

4/5 - Good

Convenient to freshman dorm side of campus. Recommend McMenamin's or Cheerful Tortoise if all in party are over 21.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Nice concept - buying up downtown to create a university. Not where I want my daughter to go. Regardless of the sad-wagon opinions about homelessness, my priority is the safety of my kids in college - in as much as they will give me a say. My daughter wanted to visit this school and the location and the lack of security anywhere - including unlocked doors to all the PSU buildings made it so I did not have to point out to her the safety concerns. Portland is a crappy town and PSU is located in the middle of that pile of crap.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Every Saturday there is a fabulous farmers market with variety of flower, produce, and food vendors with fabulous food.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Year round Saturday morning farmer's market at PSU.

3/5 - Okay
