Portland hotels near Powell's City of Books

Cons: Very close to tram line which was loud all night

Cons: The entire facility needs upgrading. As I walked into the lobby and down the halls it was shabby. The rooms however, were better than the common areas.

Cons: Facility is due for renovations - they start next month.

Cons: Everything was awesome. Great gob everyone!

Cons: The only thing I would say is that you should try to get a room that doesn't face the road where Denny's is...the trolley/tramcar thing runs all night and is loud.

Cons: We wish there was a pool on site, but besides that, we couldn't complain!

Cons: No issues. The parking at $25/day is high.

Cons: The wifi only last 30 minutes unless you pay extra.

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.

Cons: Loudest hotel ever!! Paper thin walls and a room by the elevator = Not a lot of sleep. $14 parking is ridiculous! Especially after paying for the overpriced room... The cleaning crew started cleaning rooms at 9am. So much for respecting their guest.. We've stayed at a handful of Red Lion hotels and this one is by far the WORST!! Save yourself some money and aggravation and book the Quality Inn across the street!

Cons: I did not like the bathroom sliding door. To slide it open is heavy and unsafe when it is open. Almost walked into the mirror. It is beautiful though.

Cons: They could do themselves a lot of favors by improving their bedding, especially the pillows. We both had a lousy night's sleep.

Cons: $42 for overnight parking was silly overpriced.

Cons: The room was quite small. Even an extra toothpaste was 6 bucks and water was just as expensive. For 5-star service we should expect a few complimentary things.

Cons: Our room had a slight odor of dogs / animals. This should be somewhat expected in a pet-friendly hotel, and is only really noticeable once you walk in the room. All-in-all, this was a minor gripe and will not deter us from staying here again.

Cons: The parking is expensive, and works out to be a hidden cost: $26 per day, or $41 if you leave your car overnight.

Cons: Everything was fine. No complaints.

Cons: Needs fan in bathroom

Cons: Actual size of the room was tiny and way overpriced.

Cons: Single ply toilet paper

Cons: The fitness center was disappointing in size and equipment available. It reminded me of fitness centers in 2 & 3 star hotels. On line it said there was a coffee/shop and bakery at the hotel and there were none. Online it also implies there was a spa but there was not. The front desk clerk said they could call someone off site to come to our room. One tiny window in the room. Paid approx $350 a night. Way too expensive for what it was.

Cons: Because I used the door knocker that said I didn't need sheets and towels changed, no one ever came to my room to take the garbage or give us more TP, etc. thankfully there was an extra roll in the room. And one of the valet guys was rude to my uber driver when she came to pick us up. It was uncalled for.

Cons: Pricey but not out of line for area hotels.

Cons: Valet service an absolute disaster. Front desk unable to give good rec's on what to do and where to eat.

Cons: Musty smell in the room. Not the most comfortable beds.

Cons: The parking charge of $36 overnight is usurious; we had to park two cars and when asked if they would comp one of them due to our circumstances, they refused. This will cause me to stay someplace else next time.

Cons: Didn't quite live up to that hype.

Cons: I don't know that we will stay at Modera for the price paid, again. Not a knock it is a gorgeous and friendly hotel. Great for a first visit.

Cons: The smaller rooms, shower felt cheap with crappy water pressure.

Cons: Too many extra fees: $38 a night for parking and $20 “activity “ fee. Some run-down furniture.

Cons: Hotel Modera continues to only offer valet parking. That's good because there is very little street parking; however, it's not good when the service is overpriced and the valets don't help with getting luggage in/out of the car. In fact, there's no offering to help in any way other than to hand you the valet ticket/keys. The lobby doors are not automatic, so while the valets stand around, you are convenienced to put down your bags, open the door, prop it open with your foot while you grab your bags and make a dash through. We haven't had this problem in the past, but the HVAC in our room was not heating, just blowing cool air. Turning the unit off resulted in the windows whistling due to the negative pressure in the room. The mini fridge stocked with overpriced drinks was also not working. So our room was cold and noisy, and the fridge was warm and quiet. The front desk staff offered to send someone up right away, but since my wife was still asleep and we were checking out in several hours, I declined, but the staff was very sympathetic. The bathroom in our king room was VERY close to the bed, and the sliding door didn't make it much of a 'privy'. I try to keep up with the latest building materials, so maybe the plastic tub liner that shifts up and down under your feet while taking a shower is new and fancy. I don't think we'll be installing one in our home. The hotel's bar/restaurant is unremarkable in all ways and does not stand up to the other great food and drink options in downtown or the east side. Overall, I think we are done with this hotel considering there are so many other options in the area that are better walking distance to good food and drinks.

Cons: Once you get out of the lobby, the floors felt a bit dingy like they needed new carpets. The decor in the hallways felt a bit dated. Nothing particularly bad but just didn't feel quite polished. For the price I expected better.

Cons: Billing was incorrect

Cons: Didn't work: AC, tv. 5$ for a bottle of water when the room is 200$ per night and tap water is gross seems cheap. Resturant was very expensive.

Cons: If there was anythInfo@VertebrataChiropractic.com I had a problem with, it was that once waited for 15 minutes for my car and when I asked about it, the valet had forgotten about it. He immediately remedied the situation and had the car in 90 seconds, but it would have been nice to have gotten it when it was first asked for. A small oversight, and overall does not take from my five star rating for this property.

Cons: The main negative comment I have is that their elevator is rickety and loud. I guess because we checked in at night, we got stuck with the room next to the elevator and you really can hear it every time it goes up and down. Luckily, we were just so exhausted from our daytime activities, we didn't have the energy to complain. Also, the housekeeping staff was a little intimidating. At around 4pm, we went back to our hotel room to freshen up and noticed that our room had still not been made. No big deal. We saw the housekeeping staff in the hallway and decided to tell them they can skip our room, but we wanted an extra towel and a new garbage bag. When we asked them, the staff member demanded my hotel room number in a harsh tone and when I told her, she then shouted to her co worker in another language some verbiage while pointing at us. They had a conversation, that sounded like an argument to me, for a few minutes while we were standing there waiting for the OK to skip our room and give us a towel. Mind you, they were standing right next to the towel cart conversing in their language while I was standing there confused.

Cons: Valet parking $38. No other real options.

Cons: A bit pricey for Portland but it was awesome, I'd definitely stay there again.

Cons: Room was small. Bathroom was small. Bed was extremely loud and squeaky. Walls were thin

Cons: In downtown Portland, but a bit far from certain attractions.

Cons: $35 valet parking not mentioned in booking.

Cons: Only complaint about Modera is that it's at the mega-junction of Portland's light rail, trolley and bus lines, so during the daytime (including VERY early in the morning) the street noise is pretty significant. The rooms are well insulated, so it's not deafening, but you can definitely hear it.

Cons: The rooms are a bit small, but not uncomfortably so.

Cons: A bit pricey, especially the valet parking.

Cons: the bathroom is a little dated.

Cons: It's an older motel, so it definitely has a run-down feel. For my trip (visiting Portland with a friend to go enjoy the city, nightlife, etc) this was perfect. It's confusing to find parking (small lot) and to get around the motel.

Cons: A little noisy at night. The room smelled heavily of perfumed air freshener. The bathroom had what appeared to be fruit flies.

Cons: Beds are mediocre. Sheets and mattress both

Cons: Bed was a little lumpy, and the bathroom was a little dirty. Manageable if you’re not too picky.

Cons: Noisy. A little sketchy. Didn't feel 100% safe there.

Cons: While the actual location of the hotel was great, it did get a bit noisy at night, with or without open windows.

Cons: No complaints.

Cons: Noise is a bit of an issue, as the walls transmit sound easily and it's adjacent to two reasonably busy roads.
