Portland hotels near Oregon Historical Society Museum

Pros: The staff is very friendly and helpful. The beds are very comfortable. Location is great. The Swank Restaurant in the hotel was great with good prices.

Cons: The price for parking is high.

Pros: It was a great experience and enjoyed celebrating the New Year Here!

Cons: There was nothing to not like about it.

Pros: The location was perfect. It's in the heart of the Downtown, right by the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.

Pros: Staff was wonderful, great location and nice view. The bed was exceptionally comfortable

Cons: For the amount we paid for our room, (which was spendy)the bathroom sink was cracked and furnishings a little dated. Bar closed early as did room service Next time we'll look for something else in the same location

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: location close to everything

Cons: Walls were a bit thin?

Pros: Secure building. Spacious room. Actual hotel building was quiet and felt small because of the layout.

Cons: More worn down than expected. Especially for the price. Fitness center was lackluster. Area was noisy. Room often smelled like campfire because of a drafty window and smokestack on the roof next door.

Pros: Very classic, elegant old (but remodeled!) hotel in Portland. Gracious, attentive staff who are kind and not pretentious. I always stay here when I visit Portland.

Pros: This is a beautiful hotel in a great location. We stayed in a suite with a couch and kitchenette. It was the perfect place to stay with family and explore the city. The beds were comfortable and the sheets so very soft! The front desk staff were kind and knowledgeable. The continental breakfast was diverse and substantial. Did not include lots of options for folks with dietary restrictions, but options were higher quality than the average continental breakfast. NYTimes for morning reading was a plus!

Cons: Nothing very serious. The bathroom had no fan, which was a little annoying because we had to keep the door cracked when showering. This would not have been such a big deal except the shower door is clear glass--little awkward with family around.

Pros: Accommodations, staff, bed.

Cons: Need fans in the bathroom!

Cons: There was a coffee pot in the room in a newly remodeled hi tech Kitchenette, but no coffee. I had to call the front desk. Apparently they don’t offer coffee in the rooms. Don’t understand,

Pros: The location was great and the staff were really friendly. It was close to a lot of places so there was lots to do. It was an easy check in and out.

Pros: This is my favourite hotel in downtown Portland. I love the decor and sense of comfort. I love the lobby and lounge and love that dogs are permitted to stay, Staff very friendly. Fantastic location.

Cons: no

Pros: I love everything about this hotel: downtown location near all MAX lines, charming and quirky decor, friendly staff, large rooms, comfortable beds, and the fantastic wine hour and morning coffee bar. Hands down our favorite hotel in Portland!

Cons: I'm always annoyed by the $27 "amenity fee" which they added after IHG bought the Kimpton chain-- but that's the way it goes. Also, the service in Red Star Tavern, the onsite restaurant, can be painfully slow. (The food is good though!)

Pros: Funky decor and great service

Cons: Bed was a little bit uncomfortable

Pros: Location is great

Cons: Parking is too high

Pros: Unique and spacious suite. Eclectic furnishings.

Pros: Professional and friendly staff Restaurant on-site Good location

Pros: Close to the center of town!

Pros: Great location next to everything

Cons: We were placed right next to the workout room and weights were constantly being dropped.

Cons: I normally don’t take time to write a complaint, but I will make an exception here. After I checked into my room and proceeded to take a shower, there was a wash rag from the previous occupant. A dried out dirty rag with someone else’s dead

Pros: If there was a breakfast, we were never made aware of it! There was complimentary beer/wine in the lobby on our arrival for their happy hour. The beds were so very comfortable! Loved the shower. Beautiful decor.

Cons: I was surprised by an additional $30 charge upon check out. Either I missed the small print or there was no warning. We did not partake of any "extras". They explained that it was a standard charge on all their rooms.

Pros: Really clean and plush. Very roomy and comfortable

Cons: Nothing

Pros: I called to confirm my reservation and Benjamin assured me that a late arrival was no problem. I was greeted by the bell-hop almost immediately and the gentleman brought our bags to the suite and even went to get us ice. The room was spectacular and had a great corner view. I’d definitely recommend a corner room! The room is stylish and modern and the bath amenities are quality. Absolutely would recommend Dossier!! ***** !

Pros: Great location. Easy access to shopping, restaurants, Max. Nice late afternoon complimentary beers/hot chocolate. Great Happy Hour

Pros: Not much. Could not check in at 4 pm and had to wait because the room was not ready. Then after checking in the room we were given was next to someone smoking marijuana. The beds very extremely small and could barely fit my kids. Also the parking fee $45

Cons: See above. Make sure to warn families with kids that marijuana is legal in Oregon sand they may encounter it at this hotel.

Pros: location, room service quick and tasty. Valet went far out of their way when one of us fell down a half block from the entrance.

Cons: restaurant's breakfast, not bad, but not special. significant construction projects on going a couple blocks away.

Pros: Very friendly staff. Room was so luxuriously comfortable

Cons: Could use an on site hot tub

Pros: Historic

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything was great! Every time we come to Portland this most likely where we will stay. Its centrally located, so we walked to a lot places we wanted to go. It was pretty much perfect

Cons: If anything the shower tub could have been bigger, but honestly it wasn’t that big of a deal

Pros: Accomodating staff that gave us a huge room and brought up an extra bed for our fourth party member. We were expecting to sleep on camping pads on the floor for the extra guest, but Sentinel was happy to provide a comfortable temporary bed.

Cons: I wish the parking was on-site -- I don't like valeting my car. Our room had almost no natural light, but this was balanced out by the size and cleanliness of the room. There was an odd faint beeping noise that continued the entire time we were ther

Pros: Nice corner room, pet friendly and a nice location downtown

Pros: Terrific staff starting with the car valet service and continuing with front desk staff. We needed a minor repair to one of the windows in our room and the maintenance person came immediately and made the fix quickly. We also liked the bartending team at Jackknife, the in-hotel bar. We didn't eat any meals at the Sentinal, but there are lots and lots on dining choices in the neighborhood including Bistro Agnes, one of the best French bistros in town!

Pros: Nice decor. Great location, friendly staff

Cons: Not worth the price. Rooms are small.

Pros: Great staff and service. Room was much larger than I had expected.

Cons: Location is not great with a lot of homeless people nearby. Looks like this hotel must be in the bad part of town.

Pros: Great all around service, perfect location, reasonable rates, wonderful restaurant & bar.

Pros: The architecture of the building was simply beautiful. The valet parking was friendly and expedient. The bed was extremely comfortable, the extra sheets fresh and clean smelling. The towels were very thick. The hot water kettle and teas were a nice addition. There was a knock on the door for turn down service. The hallways were deeply carpeted and wide. We never heard hallway traffic noise. The white noise machine came in handy, for the Max below the window (five floors up) and for the very loud in-room, vibrating heating unit in the casement structure between the bedroom and parlor (which sounded off every 15 minutes). The location was good, close to Powells, Nordstrom, and other corporate shopping storefronts, as well as several very highly rated weekend brunch options. It could have been and even nicer stay had not Portland's most iconic food truck block, catty corner to the Sentinel, been removed to make way for a new 5 star hotel. The price was reasonable for PDX, given these amenities, but as you will read below, I feel it was overpriced given the actual 3-star experience due largely to poor maintenance and industrial design. I felt like the hotel was not focused on the user experience from the ergonomics point of view, and was not able to look at people as persons rather than average consumer groups. The devil is in the details and we will not stay with this hotel chain again...and it should not be rated with 4-stars.

Cons: There were so many little things that were not up to par with regard to the maintenance and creature comforts of the room that it became one big thing. Bathroom: -extremely small with a pedestal sink, no towel bars or hooks nearby and a thin mirror ledge shelf not big enough for a small overnight bag. -no exhaust fan, peeling wallpaper, and a shower curtain with a curling iron burn likely for being so close to the single outlet by the sink (close enough for the hair dryer to fall into the bathtub). -The toilet felt lower than standard for hotels and could be difficult for some to lower/raise themselves. -Low water pressure in the shower, the shower head itself and faucet of inferior quality, without alternating spray options. The water temperature was "child safe" and set to a lower level typical for hotels. Bedroom: -the floor-length mirror was on the back side of the bathroom door and inconvenient as it needed to remain open for ventilation and easy access. -curtains did not close completely, despite creative fabric folding, streaming in outside street lighting. High ceilings made it hard to fix. -no dresser for personal items, only built-in drawers in the dark closet which require one to squat or kneel to access. -luggage racks at foot of bed had dark metal frames, the exact color as the carpet, making it difficult to see and navigate in low light and caused banged knees. -one bedside table lamp was a pull-down chain style and the other a twist knob, requiring fiddling in the dark. Parlor: the light switch at the door turned on no lights, even with playing with the settings on the three lamps in the room causing fumbling in the dark to find the switches on the units Reception: No visual review of bill offered prior to customer signature. When asked, "What does the guest amenities fee include?" the response was, “it’s included in the total price,” rather than providing an explanation of what the fee covers.

Cons: Well they charge a resort fee. The hotel is hardly a resort. The resort fee apparently covers for wifi, water and coffeee. I felt sorry for the staff that had to justify it. The elevator was out of service during the time I checked in.

Pros: Ambiance/decor

Cons: Elevator for guests versus service are confusing

Cons: The room had horrible lighting as did the bathroom. The view out the lone window was super bad looking onto flat roof and into someone else’s window. I think they stick the booking.com reservations on one crappy floor.
