Very good

Liked: Location price and staff
Disliked: Pool hours

Even with the cost, I...

Liked: I liked that the location was very close to the things I wanted to see in downtown Portland. Everything was within walking distance. The breakfast buffet was hands down the best I?ve had during a hotel stay. The evening social was very nice. It is great that the elevators only work with a valid key card, making me feel secure. The bed was comfortable. In room coffee is better than average. Even though the hotel is an obvious renovation of an old hotel- The Multnomah, the amenities are nice, even though my room was a bit cramped feeling. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There are some really good restaurants within a block or so of the hotel, as is Voodoo Doughnuts, one of the places I wanted to try while in Portland.
Disliked: Even though there isn?t much that the hotel can do, the location is in an area with a lot of homeless people and I was warned by hotel staff be be aware of surroundings. The only reason I am mentioning it is because it made me feel that the room cost was higher than it should be for that reason. I didn?t feel, as a solo traveler that it would be safe to walk about at night.

Bad

Exceptional

Superb

Liked: From the airport the Downtown Embassy Suites was so easy to get to on the Red line. The building is lovely historic architecture from the late 1800?s. Friendly and helpful staff, shout out to Scott at the valet desk. We were pleased with efficient and early check-in. We also appreciated the Covid cleaning & distancing care, the happy hour and full complimentary breakfast. A huge plus is the outstanding and adjacent Mother?s Bistro and Bar.

more bad than good

Liked: the pool was amazing. Pet friendly which we love! The burger from mothers was okay.
Disliked: The ?Whirlpool? aka Spa was filled with bacterial foam so bad that when we got out we were covered in some type of black gunk. Elevator had pet urine on the floor. The microwave and refrigerator are both so old they hardly work. not to mention the coffee/coffee pot were both absolutely terrible. room service came with the bare minimum and our food wasn?t properly cooked (potatoes in the Irish nachos were still raw and my husbands fries were mushy) I believe it?s overpriced for what you get.

I noticed a lot thrifty...

Liked: Breakfast is top notch and your omelet chef is awesome. cocktail hour was a nice treat. Pool was beautiful and you should never get rid of your sauna. All staff was very pleasent
Disliked: I was expecting a view because I chose a top floor suite and the pictures online showed a view , but it wasn't a view at all and we kept our blinds shut otherwise others could see into our room.
