Portland hotels near Portland Art Museum

Pros: Bed was lumpy.... coffee in room poor.. no lobby coffee or tea

Pros: The room was great. We loved the decor and convenience of location. We loved the view out the window. The desk people & concierge and valets were awesome.

Cons: The light in the bathroom was horrible. I couldn’t see to put makeup on. Even though the light was bad there was a crumb on the floor. Also my pillow was so hard it hurt my neck. A little softer would be nice.

Pros: Ed, the concierge, is fantastic. He knows the area so well and ensured we had dinner plans at a new, local place, every night.

Cons: Overnight parking is quite expensive with valet only unless you find a garage close by and want to walk with your luggage or items, which is not the best when it rains.

Pros: Great service and room service.

Cons: Noisy trucks at night and in the early morning.

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: Decor and locations

Pros: Staff was excellent. Very accommodating and helpful

Pros: We are fans of the Paramount and often stay there when visiting Portland. Its comfortable, clean, reasonably priced, well situated, and has a great restaurant and nice staff.

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: Great hotel, they have two separate restaurants, The Swine and The Swank. Both restaurants are lively, great Service and food. This Hotel is right in the middle of downtown Portland and a block from the metro train with quick access to the airport.

Pros: Great location, we walked everywhere. Great customer service. Had cookies and tea everyday in the afternoon which were amazing. Gym was small but had everything you needed. Would stay here again. Great price for what you got.

Cons: No bath in our suite, only a shower. No pool or hot tub.

Pros: Central to everything Portland. Hotel is beautiful, historic & offers small-ish accommodations as compared to website photos. Master suite is well appointed, and has private bedroom but the only bathroom requires a walk through the master bedroom to access it. Several great restaurants are within a block or two.

Cons: Well... Portland does NOT have a handle on it’s near 50k homeless population with concurrent mental health issues. Although it was averaging 40+ degrees in February, impromptu tents & tarps were pretty much everywhere, including sidewalks, roadsides and grassy street meridians. Had an incident while standing/waiting for a light change & was almost pushed into the street with my daughter. Fun. Saw a number of police/ambulance calls (5 within a week while being in and out of the city) that were attending to probable mental health/drug issues as evidenced by bizarre behavior, etc.... Stay alert.

Pros: Larger than normal room

Cons: Noope.

Pros: Fantastical delicious breakfast! Highly recommend the banana bread. Beds were super comfortable. Location was perfect if you like to walk

Cons: No usb charging stations and water pressure was low

Pros: Staff seem pleasant.

Cons: Bedroom's one window faced into a wall so absolutely no view of Portland. Bedroom walls brown painted brick so extremely dull. Public areas generally very tired and seemed a bit grubby. Breakfast hugely disappointing with many people cramming into a small corner space for not very nice and poor selection of breakfast items and insufficient seating/table area. Not a nice experience.

Pros: The wine hour was amazing, and the breakfast was also very good with the salami and avocado toast.

Cons: The internet was a little difficult to connect.

Pros: The room are beautiful, with comfortable king-size beds and pillows, plenty of room, and hot showers. The breakfast is varied and plentiful. The location is safe and convenient. They now have (relatively) inexpensive parking in a safe lot across the street. An excellent choice for a nice stay in Portland

Cons: The elevators are a bit slow.

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: Very eclectic feel. Adjoining restaurant was fantastic. Just an enjoyable place.

Pros: The location was amazing, the staff were very friendly, the decor was both and inspiring, and the room was the cutest we have ever stayed in. Loved everything about Kimpton Hotel Monaco Portland!

Cons: Not a single thing!

Pros: They were super accommodating. The staff was excellent and cater to our every need. The Red Star Tavern had food that was out of this world.

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: The bathroom plumbing could be improved. Took almost 60 seconds for hot water tap sink to get warm up. Very poor shower pressure and difficulty getting the right tap temperature.

Pros: Staff was incredible!

Cons: The staff, the unique decor, the happy hour, the comfortable beds, everything!

Cons: I honestly cannot say anything bad about this hotel. Everything was great.

Cons: Not one thing. Love the Monaco in Portland!

Pros: The lobby had a fireplace going, music snacks and drinks that were very welcoming upon arrival.

Cons: The location was great for downtown walking however we brought a vehicle and the was limited parking aside from $45 valet. Maybe some people are used to this but I was not expecting it.

Pros: The afternoon wine in the beautiful room withvthe stringed instruments playing; the comfortable bed, the beauty of the whole interior; the food at the Red Tavern; Henry, Jonathon, Emilia, Scott, Antonio, and Andrew. The parking valet, the room service! Dog friendly!

Cons: No grab bar in shower....

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: Location is great

Cons: Parking is too high

Pros: Location and comfort

Cons: Spendy

Pros: The room was nice. More upscale.

Cons: No coffee bar in the room. Restaurant was fair not great. Coffee bar at check in lounge was available but tiny cups and no hot water for tea. And the coffee was terrible! I’m making a big deal out of this because they charged me $24 a day for this coffee bar and internet that was unsecured. A rip off.

Pros: Beautiful hotel, great staff, and luxurious bathrooms.

Cons: Cleanliness of the bathroom was disappointing. Bathroom floor had been mopped but residue was left behind. Counter top had dust and water residue around the fixtures.

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.

Pros: Great location, kind staff, loved the design!

Cons: Bed was not very comfortable, a bit noisy on 3rd floor and no coffee in room / lobby.

Pros: Location was excellent. Within easy walking distance of a number of attractions as well as public transportation. I loved the happy hour in the lobby every evening with free beer and kombucha as well as the coffee and tea service in the morning. The room was very clean and there were no overhead light fixtures keeping the overall lighting relatively low and soft which may not work for some but I appreciated. The bed was very comfortable and the overhead shower was wonderfully relaxing. Also, I loved all of the original artwork from regional artists. That was a very nice touch.

Cons: The walls were a little thin. I could hear the bells of MAX trains two blocks away and my neighbors in the suite next door from time to time. Luckily, none of these sounds were very loud but someone with sensitive hearing may be bothered by them.

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: 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: 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: Very friendly staff. Room was so luxuriously comfortable

Cons: Could use an on site hot tub

Pros: Historic

Cons: Nothing

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: 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: Nice sized room with big table and small bar. Very comfortable bed with soft pillows. Loved the fireplace!

Cons: A little loud outside the room on the street, but not horrible. We were on the third floor. Bathroom was a little sparse, but nice.

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

Pros: There is everything in one place from a bar/slash club, to an amazing wine/champagne bar, a steak house a coffee house, each room is unique, I love the vibe, and is close to everything that matters in Portland

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.
