Portland hotels near Artists Repertory Theatre

Pros: Jazz trio playing in the Palm Court, 8-12mn, Was an enjoyable end of the evening. Wine and appetizers were good from the Palm Court kitchen. Room comfortable, clean, quiet. I like staying at the Benson, makes for a nice weekenn.

Pros: Ambience in the bar and lobby are wonderful

Cons: The premium king room did not reflect the pictures in bookings.com. There is a large space by the window which had a single chair and this is a room for two. ( picture showed two chairs) Could easily fit a couch. The elevators were freezing. Bathroom counter was very small.

Pros: Room was comfortable but would have been better if there had been a table with chairs

Cons: The chair setting, only one & no table

Pros: Staff was very helpful. Beautiful woodwork in lobby and lounge. Great central location. Parking garage across the street.

Cons: Breakfast in lounge was not up to their normal standards. Service was very slow after seating. Mimosa had foreign debris in glass. Ordered three meals and only two were served. Notified server however first two meals were done before "rushed" meal was delivered.

Pros: Beautiful classic building, tempurpedic beds, location to light rail + food options,12 PM checkout,roomservice

Cons: No pool, no microwave, resort fee.

Cons: Arrived New Years Eve and the Christmas decorations were gone. First World problem

Pros: Bed so comfy! Loved the fur throw! Nice toiletries . Lobby and complimentary wine was beautiful !!

Pros: Beautiful lobby filled with wood moldings, a big fireplace, and when we were there, lots of holiday decorations. We upgraded to a junior suite that was extremely spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was small but had nice fixtures. Centrally located downtown/near the Pearl district. Staff were warm and efficient.

Cons: The bar seemed quite understaffed for a busy time just after Christmas - the bartender was very friendly and professional, but could have used some backup. We ordered room service the morning we left and it was underwhelming.

Pros: Overall all staff from door man front desk to GM all consisted of all star customer service

Cons: NA

Pros: Very upscale

Cons: The doors to bedroom were easy to hear hallway noises and just so happen a very loud family next to us were yelling and slamming their door constantly (at least 10 times)

Pros: Comfortable, firm mattress. Great, friendly staff! Very accommodating.

Cons: The bathroom sink was annoying. The faucet was barely inside the bowl, which made a mess when using the sink. So it was difficult to use the sink as counter space, which was lacking. No other complaints. Everything else was great.

Pros: It was a good location and the lobby is beautiful.

Cons: They charged an extra $29.99 per night for Amenities. When I asked what that was for, the staff couldn't really give me an answer. So in the end, the price was not a really good value.

Pros: cleanliness and the room was cozy

Cons: no

Pros: I thought the location was great. The staff was very professional and accommodating. The room was very clean and cozy.

Cons: We were on the 5th floor right behind the elevator and what sounded like we were sleeing directly underneath the restaurant kitchen. We didn’t sleep and we could hear every thing happening upstairs for hrs. It was never ending and so noisy.

Pros: Great location. Trimet is near. Staff goes well beyond.

Pros: We enjoyed the bedding and modernized room.

Cons: Atmosphere was a little "stuck up" but we enjoyed the location and our hotel had a lot to offer with bakery and restaurant.

Pros: This is an older hotel that has been modernized and they did a great job. Rooms have nice touches like no-fog center of the bathroom mirror, built-in charging cords for various iPhone and Android phones, and comfy beds. Very friendly staff.

Cons: Parking access is awkward with a very steep ramp off a one-way street.

Pros: The lobby, the room itself was great !

Cons: It was right above the light rail , which ran every few minutes, room was lovely but I was up all night (w earplugs) staff said I should've requested room in quiet section of hotel..but no one suggested that option when I checkefd in!!

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff, facility, location

Pros: Cleanliness & decor. Comfortable beds.

Cons: Valet staff was not the nicest. Charging for parking in a hotel that costs this much is ridiculous. The rooms (2queen bed) are tiny. Finding additional street parking was difficult.

Pros: The facility was very nice and the room was comfortable.

Cons: Upfront, transparent pricing! When I read what the rate was and then the caveat “plus applicable taxes and fees,” there was no indication of what the amount would be or how it was calculated. I was completely astonished when “the fees were $42.00. The room ended up costing more than other rooms I could’ve reserved if I had known a more accurate online price.

Pros: Close to moda center, great staff!

Cons: Our conditioner dispenser was completely empty, usually hotels give you a few small bottles per room but this room had one large dispenser in the shower for everything. It was a hassle to call down and ask for more when we showered in a rush. The only downfall though of this property

Pros: Amazing property, one of the most comfortable beds and it was just all around great. Fun restaurant and bar on the top floor.

Cons: There is a per night hold of $75 for incidentals. I’ve never experienced a resort holding a per night charge for incidentals, maybe a resort fee but not incidentals. It was just bizarre to have an additional $225 on hold. Also there is only valet parking, $35 a day.

Cons: The hotel charged $234 dollars to my account by accident. I'm still awaiting reimbursement from them. Still waiting for a callback from the manager as well. The rooms are located so close to the train that it was hard to sleep. It was SO loud!

Pros: Fabulous atmosphere with a romantic lounge with creative cocktails and superior service.

Cons: Nothing. Every detail is paid attention to.

Pros: I liked it’s romantic old Hollywood theme in its decor. It is in a very convenient centrally located part of downtown Portland.

Cons: The parking is expensive however all parking downtown is expensive. So I have no complaints, really.

Pros: We loved the location. We've been to Portland many time, and just now discovered this area of downtown. Definitely going to be back.

Cons: The key lock elevators were the most frustrating experience. It never worked on the first try, sometimes as many as 5 trips up and down before the door would open.

Pros: Over the top animal friendly. Dog got a bed, treats, bowls, and her own thrashable toy. The bar was a walk through time, my favorite of our entire trip. They offered a pillow menu and we didn't even need to use it.

Cons: Couldn't find an outside trashcan for our doggie poo.

Pros: Location! And hotel decor.

Cons: N/a

Pros: Very nice and clean hotel.

Cons: Could use a few updates since its such an old hotel.

Pros: Stunning and perfect

Pros: It was close to the venue I was atrending

Cons: It was higher priced so expected better No view fixtures were falling off curtain wouldn''t close all the way. Might as well have gotten a cheaper place

Pros: This is a beautiful old hotel. Ask for a corner room. Lovely bar and restaurant.

Pros: Everything!!!!

Cons: Owner

Pros: Service, the staff was fantastic!

Cons: Size of rooms small but set up in a creative way to accommodate the small size of the room.

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.

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: 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: Nice modern clean hotel with friendly staff in a great location.

Cons: Room was a little small as they are in most city center areas, but fine for a couple.

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.

Pros: Location

Cons: The staff was rude when I arrived. Put the incidental deposit on my credit card twice and I would have liked to know about the expensive parking charge that they had in advance.

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.
