Stella Vacations from ￥135,521

Older hotel, renovated in very hip style. Seems to appeal to a younger crowd.

It is downtown in a good area for dining and walking. The famous Powell’s Bookstore is nearby. It is a classic hotel. Unfortunately, the economics of providing parking in the downtown environment requires that they charge $30/day extra to park your car. The mattress on our bed was very saggy in the middle, but I saw stacks of new mattresses in the basement car garage ready to be installed. I assume the problem will be taken care of shortly.

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff. Unfortunately area around hotel has a lot of homeless people shouting and it felt a bit unsafe after dark.

I liked to location. It put me in the middle of all that downtown PDX offers. That said, I would not stay here again. The room walls were thin and the hallways noisy. The room heater also did not work. I was given a small space heater, but that didn't heat the room. My main complaint is that this is actually a timeshare, and so the steady push for me to participate in a timeshare presentation was pretty incessant. Every interaction with staff lead to a pitch, to the point it felt very inauthentic to just have a normal conversation. I had to clearly say that I wasn't interested in order for the sales pitch to stop. I didn't like it.

Great place, staff is accommodating and helpful. The location is close to nearby shopping, dining and local pubs. Area is very walkable, felt self entire time.
