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: Great hotel, service, location and stay! They checked us in early to accommodate our schedule and loved the wine hour and live music on Thanksgiving! The concierge text is nice too.

Cons: Carpet on 2nd floor a bit old with smell. Parking is pricey but we did street parking one night.

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.

Cons: Visible mildew around the bathroom sink. Bed was not as comfy as expected for a 4 1/2 star rated hotel. No coffee maker in the room. Amenity charge collected for not much amenities to offer; no pool on-site.

Pros: The welcoming environment and the great location, staff, service, including food.

Cons: Cold bathroom.

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: Location, clean, courteous staff

Cons: None.

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: frontdesk not too muchwillingto help

Pros: Friendly staff and cleanliness

Cons: We were disappointed in how old and old fashioned the shower and bathroom decor and user friendly was for the star level and reputation of this hotel and compared to past Kimpton's we've stayed at.

Cons: Needs fan in bathroom

Pros: Location was perfect and hot tub in the room definitely hit the spot after walking around the city and hiking in the park.

Cons: No.

Pros: Everything about the property was phenomenal. We will definitely be back.

Cons: Nothing about the property, but booking.com really put us in a bind in terms of the payment. If you do want to try out this hotel (which we highly recommend), do it through a different 3rd party site or through the hotel directly to avoid the check in & payment issues we had. Once we were checked in (no thanks to booking.com), we had an exceptional stay and calling the hotel pleasant would be an understatement.

Pros: The attentive staff

Cons: I kind of wanted a microwave. I had ordered room service from the lobby restaurant and didn't finish it in one sitting. I woke the next morning and wanted to heat it up.

Pros: Beautiful hotel and the friendliest staff

Cons: The areas nearby with grass for dogs were all fenced in. Had to walk farther to get to the river so they could go potty. It’s not the hotels fault though but it did suck at night to have to go that far. If your dogs go on pavement then you should be fine.

Pros: We loved the location of the hotel, the happy hours and the games in the communal areas (there are so much space to sit and relax outside of the room). Our room was really nice and comfortable. The restaurant attached to the hotel was amazing. The staff was great. We really had no issue at all during this stay and loved every bits of it.

Cons: I wish I knew there was coffee available in the morning. I woke up too late to have some and I missed not having hot drinks available throughout the day. However it is a minus detail. I would add that there was not much surface in the bathroom to put our stuff but it was not a big deal.

Cons: The room was not clean enough. You can see lots of dust on the table or lamps. I don’t event want to tough them. The air conditioner was not working well! No matter how much degree you set on it, the room temperature is always lower than you set in many hours! We turned off the AC during the nights, but still cold, very cold!

Pros: The hotel was extremely dog friendly and it felt like a true family vacation. The hotel service was exceptional. Wine during happy hour while a live band was playing was a nice added bonus. We truly enjoyed or stay.

Cons: Hotel is a little old. Windows let in noise from the street easily. Shower pressure was very low (May only be room 418).

Pros: Location was good

Cons: It was very noisy! Also was not a 4.5 star hotel. Used the bar of soap in the shower, maid did not replace, just left the empty wrapper on the counter.

Pros: The room was well decorated

Cons: Extremely thin walls, basically a cheaply constructed hotel w an interior decorator. You could hear the neighbors entire conversations. The room was unacceptably dirty: bloody sheets and toilet seat.

Pros: This was my favorite hotel. Not up to par this time.

Cons: To many hidden charges. Wont be back.

Pros: Everyone was so friendly

Cons: No a/c Bathroom missing wash cloths Walls paper thin Conditioner dispenser was broken

Pros: Customer service was amazing & the staff was so friendly. Hotel employee was awesome about giving us suggestions on places to go! And, we were given complimentary coffee in the morning after a convo with the man working the coffee cart - nice ges

Cons: We were happy with our stay. The A/C system in the room was a bit confusing, but a call to the front desk helped us figure it out!

Pros: Bar was great, room was very comfortable, and location and parking was great.

Cons: Needs a swimming pool.
