Portland hotellit Downtown

Plussat: Beds were very comfortable. Staff was very attentive. Easy walking to places. Very clean. Great stay over all.

Miinukset: Toilet stopped up twice but staff were right on it when notified.

Plussat: Quiet, comfortable centrally located hotel with friendly helpful staff and a nice convivial atmosphere

Plussat: The hotel itself is nice, clean, and very conveniently located to many attractions and great restaurants in downtown Portland. However, those do not make up for the truly terrible customer service we experienced.

Miinukset: As a frequent traveler, I've stayed in my fair share of hotels of varying degrees of comfort. Upon checking into the Paramount hotel, I was very pleased with the hotel and my room- however, my pleasant experience stopped there. At 1 AM my first night, the guest in the room next to me was being overly disruptive. I finally called the front desk, spoke to April, and hoped it would be taken care of. The guest continued to be loud and I woke up every hour- at one point she was screaming at a hotel employee that he was assaulting her- until I called again at 4 AM and was told that the guest was being escorted out. However, this process was also loud and kept us up until close to 5 AM- and ultimately, the hotel took 4 hours to solve a problem that I called about at 1 AM. I understand that a loud neighbor is not the hotel's fault- what happened next was. I never received any sort of follow up from them, explaining or apologizing for our terrible night. Since I was not contacted, I stopped by the front desk and spoke to Jeremy- he was rude and did not apologize or offer any explanation as to what happened or what compensation we could expect. I stopped the desk a second time and requested that a manager call me on my cell phone- I was going to be out of my room all day. I left my cell phone number with Jeremy- and received no call. I returned to the hotel around 7PM and once again approached the front desk- I was told there was no available manager and that I wouldn't be able to speak to one until 9 AM the next morning (after I was already expected to check out). Finally, Charlie at the front desk was able to get a hold of a manager who said that she had tried calling my room (even after I specified that I would be out all day and specifically left my cell phone number) and that they would compensate one night of my valet parking ($39). Through all of this, I still never spoke to a manager and never received a formal apology (though a manager did call me on my flight back to New York the next day). Overall, the horrible customer service and miscommunication of the hotel staff left me upset and, frankly after the events of the night before, unsafe. For the cost of this hotel, I expected better service and a better compensation for my lost night of sleep. My stay was handled in an unprofessional manner- I certainly will not be returning and urge others to choose other accommodations when visiting Portland.

Plussat: restaurant was great. Room was clean and comfortable.

Plussat: View, cleanliness, roominess, service

Miinukset: Bed hurt my back (not normal), loud jacuzzi, TV channel surfing was a bit awkward.

Plussat: Staff was excellent. Very accommodating and helpful

Plussat: Great location. Can't beat it. Quality was great. Staff was great and extremely helpful (except doorman). Would definitely recommend.

Miinukset: Doorman were terrible. Never opened the door once for us. Three of them just stood there and watched my wife and I open the door ourselves. I have no problem opening doors, but whats the point of having three doorman if they don't do anything. Minor detail. Just thought it was funny. Not a hard job.

Plussat: location close to everything

Miinukset: Walls were a bit thin?

Plussat: The hotel grounds are beautiful, the location is great, and the jacuzzi in my room was HEAVEN. Great stay. I'll be back!

Plussat: Beautiful building, excellent location near the Pearl District. Loads of cool shops, restaurants, and breweries nearby. Hotel lent us bikes!

Miinukset: Pricey but not out of line for area hotels.

Plussat: The receptioni staff were excellent. They upgraded our room after we told them of our vacation from hell just a month earlier. The location was perfect for us. It is close to the business area, the college and some of Portland best food. Loved it and would stay again.

Plussat: The location is great, and the service is spectacular!

Plussat: Great location. Bar was awesome! Have a "bee's knees"!

Miinukset: Because I used the door knocker that said I didn't need sheets and towels changed, no one ever came to my room to take the garbage or give us more TP, etc. thankfully there was an extra roll in the room. And one of the valet guys was rude to my uber driver when she came to pick us up. It was uncalled for.

Plussat: Have stayed there before and the Hotel is lovely. Bit of a remodel going on, but it's not intrusive. Service is attentive and Portland-friendly.

Miinukset: The parking charge of $36 overnight is usurious; we had to park two cars and when asked if they would comp one of them due to our circumstances, they refused. This will cause me to stay someplace else next time.

Plussat: Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. Location was excellent.

Miinukset: Valet service an absolute disaster. Front desk unable to give good rec's on what to do and where to eat.

Plussat: Easy walking to shopping in downtown and the Pearl district. Close to food carts and beer gardens. 1 block from the Max train.

Plussat: Hotel is very old but extremely well kept, it has a kind of regal feel whenever you walk in. Very good service and the location is the best.

Miinukset: Just two things: The love seat and chairs in my room looked a little old, not in bad shape or anything, just old. The bathroom light was a little dim.

Plussat: Excellent location near great bars pubs and restaurants

Plussat: The location is great (close to all the downtown spots). The staff are well-trained and express interest/care.

Miinukset: The hotel is dated. The look can be charming. But I don't think that chipped paint, old and over-exposed grout, faded/worn carpets, tough mattresses are part of the decor. Maybe other rooms in the hotel have been updated, but my room was not. I also faced a very load street/area so I would recommend asking for an updated room (if they have any), and for a room in a quiet location.

Plussat: Location and staff were great.

Miinukset: Flowers were a little pass their time and bathroom needed a little work. Lightning in the bathroom was poor and a magnificent mirror would have been helpful .

Plussat: Everything was great. Very clean hotel and good location.

Plussat: Everything. Especially the bartender. He is so knowledgeable about scotch, etc. He's wonderful. He the reason we stay there every holiday season. I forget his name but he's been there forever.

Plussat: The lobby alone makes this place worth it. Top notch all around.

Plussat: Location in the heart of Portland. Great lobby.

Miinukset: Staff unhelpful. Reservation was cancelled when it shouldn't have been. Small beds and rooms. Bathrooms just okay. expensive for what you get.

Plussat: It was old fashioned in a Tower of Terror kind of old school glam way

Miinukset: It felt like the Tower of Terror, staff was rude when checking us in, room felt gross and was ridiculously small and crammed in a corner. The lady at the front desk quoted us an insanely high price, and when I said cheaper was available online she said “well I guess you should book that then.” When to check in 5 minutes later and felt like she deliberately gave us the worst room furthest from the elevator on the lowest floor. They were also under construction which I didn’t realize till I was in the room and there was a piece of paper informing me. Amenities were a joke. Regret booking this place when there were a dozen better options in the same area.

Plussat: This hotel maintains it older charm and the rooms have a more modern vibe. The beds were super comfortable and I actually slept well. Lots of USB charging ports built in and plenty of electrical outlets. Is a good overall stay for a vacation weekend or business trip.

Miinukset: I felt like the staff could have been a little more engaging.

Plussat: Very comfortable bed and staff was quite friendly. Great lobby and building with a ton of character, historic architecture, marble, and classic woodwork. (If you want a sleek, modern, generic place that looks the same as a hotel in any other city, this is not the hotel for you.)

Miinukset: My room (1212) was quite small, especially the bathroom. Because I wanted a single large bed and the hotel was pretty full, I think maybe I had that oddball room that most older hotels have that are squeezed into a non-regular space. In this case, it also happened to be near housekeeping, which was noisy in the morning with carts being banged around. The room was fine but smaller than one might expect. The bathroom was ok for me but would have been an issue for someone who spends more time getting ready. There was not even enough room to stand squarely in front of the tiny sink because a bookcase/shelving unit was put on the wall right in the area in front of sink. I had to shave at an odd angle, off to the side of the sink.

Plussat: The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and spacious. The staff was courteous and helpful.

Miinukset: The fitness center was disappointing in size and equipment available. It reminded me of fitness centers in 2 & 3 star hotels. On line it said there was a coffee/shop and bakery at the hotel and there were none. Online it also implies there was a spa but there was not. The front desk clerk said they could call someone off site to come to our room. One tiny window in the room. Paid approx $350 a night. Way too expensive for what it was.

Plussat: People at Kimpton hotels are amazing across the board but we found the team at The Vintage to be especially kind and caring. From the front desk staff to the bartenders we had great conversations with each person we met and that made it feel so welcoming. We'll definitely be going back.

Plussat: Room, hotel, staff, service, awesomeness

Miinukset: Single ply toilet paper

Plussat: Liked the style of the hotel lobby and rooms.

Miinukset: Actual size of the room was tiny and way overpriced.

Plussat: Great staff. Great rooms

Plussat: Location, friendly staff, hotel restaurant (Urban Farmer), hotel design

Miinukset: In-room fridge broken, locked out of room for an hour (had to go back and forth to the front desk 4 times before manager concluded that lock needed to be changed, provided with credit for restaurant which was a plus), long wait times for elevator, had higher expectations for a pricey luxury hotel

Plussat: There is no pool at this hotel. It's a good hotel but I certainly wouldn't categorize it as a 5 star. You'd expect better room equipments and facilities. I haven't ever seen a 5 star hotel with no pool. Also parking is very expensive. $47/night is very expensive especially for weekend and holiday stays. I recommend to park at street.

Plussat: The location and restaurants are Portland favorites. You won't beat either place.

Miinukset: However, for the price, the rooms were underwhelming. Not great beds, the rooms are small, there was no bathtub, and there were no curtains to block out all the street light (also the sounds from outside were pretty loud).

Plussat: Room was beautiful, bell staff was extremely great and cheerful!

Miinukset: Front desk staff seemed to have an attitude and weren't overly welcoming or friendly, wished the lighting in the bathroom was better, didn't like the setup of the sink/vanity/mirrors. Not functional for putting on makeup or if 2 people wanted to use the mirrors at the same time. Also a tub would have been nice.

Plussat: First time to Portland and The Nines had it all, location, convenience, style, etc. i booked off Kyak and couldn't be more pleased. I expect to be back multiple times next year.
