Amazing stay

Liked: The fully functioning gym inside, the helpful staff, and the location with many attractions and activities within walking distance.

Liked: Guy at the front desk was super accomodating. Room was nice and big. Not a ton of people but it is a pandemic and we checked out on election day.
Disliked: Location was good but everything in the city was boarded up. Just sad. Portland seemed like a nice place but sad to see it in that condition

Exceptional

Liked: Location
Disliked: Expired food was kept in the room

Miserable

Liked: Beautiful decor and the breakfast was very good.
Disliked: The staff made it known that we were unwelcome. We were stereotyped from the time we walked in. Seemed like they wanted a reason not to have us there. 2nd day there, we almost got charged $500 smoking fee for smelling like Marijuana when I don't smoke. Got it resolved but still felt uncomfortable and very unwelcome. Plus we were denied management when requested.

Liked: The clean atmosphere and very awesome staff!
Disliked: Perfect

Liked: Comfortable Bed and very attentive staff.
Disliked: There should have been signs in the Fitness Center reminding people to wear masks.

The perfect stay in Portland....

Liked: Thank you for an amazing stay! We chose The Nines to celebrate our anniversary, and the staff really did make our stay that extra bit special --- wine, balloons, and a lovely card, plus a fantastic upgrade to a corner high-floor room. All the staff, especially the front desk and valet team, were awesome! The hotel itself is perfectly located to explore Portland; it is next door to all the shops and museums in downtown Portland, so no need to use the car. When we did need the car, the valet proved well worth the $50/night --- polite, responsive, and always on time. Our room was clean, roomy, and wonderfully decorated. All expected amenities were present, including mini-bar, robes, toiletries, slippers, etc. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was excellent, spacious, and had a well-powered shower. We couldn't have asked for more, particularly with such a low room rate at the moment, and will be back again soon!
Disliked: Nothing. Note that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is no room service breakfast, although there is a take-away pickup breakfast which you can order from your room. Same for the limited food menu throughout the day.

Liked: The beds were really comfortable!
Disliked: Loose hatch on the top of the room, just closed it and it wasn?t a problem.
