• Atmosphere & architectural lay-out of the building.
• Loudness of street public late at night. Easy to hear them.

“Good location. Excellent restaurant attached with the hotel. Very friendly staff. Very helpful with any questions. Very clean room. Architectural lay-out of the inside was so beautiful.”

• Location - services of the concierge - restaurant.
• First room : was very old and AC was not working - second room has AC and was ok.

“The location is perfect in the center of Portland. The concierge and the valet parking were great. The information's they have given me were perfect. In my first room the AC wasn't working and, even if it was so hot, I had to complain to have an other room. The second one was smaller but AC was working and that room was more modern.”

• No fridge, the in-room coffee service was hard to use, (Stowed away in the closet, no place to set it up).

“Lovely, we would stay again!”

• Location, staff, restaurant.
• Small, bland room with uncomfortable bed, little amenities.

“Great location, Jakes is a great restaurant in the hotel building though not owned by the hotel. Valet parking (the only option) is expensive at $27.00 per day. Room was small, furniture is bland, windows were dirty, bed was uncomfortable, no fridge (though there was a space for one in the armoire), there was a coffee maker in the closet, but no place to put it in the room. Small desk space and no vanity area. For the price, there are much better places to stay in Portland.”

• Large room.
• No direct sunlight and very expensive valet parking.

“Hotel was old and dark. The room stayed in had no direct sunlight, but was large and accommodating. Overall, this hotel should not be a 4 star, rather a 3 star.”

• The staff was very helpful and friendly.
• The room was small and not as nice as I would expect for the price.

“I had never stayed at a 4 star hotel before. I was expecting a at least moderate sized and beautifully decorated room. But it was very small and not as fancy as I had hoped. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was big. The lobby was gorgeous and the staff was great. But the most important part - the room - wasn't as expected.”

• Friendly staff.
• Stain on the duvet and holes in the leather of the desk chair arms.

“Very pretty, but very small room. Very dark; view of nearby building only. First impression was marred by a prominent stain in the center of the duvet. Loud air conditioning/heating system. Staff was responsive and helpful. Quiet; very little distracting noises.”

• The hotel staff was very accommodating and helpful.
• The rooms were disappointing- very small bathroom, dirty couch and horrible fold out bed.

“Location and staff was great. Room was mediocre an unfortunately it was a suite.”

• Location was ideal. Hotel staff was delightful.
• Bed was too firm and could not get any remedy from staff.

“The hotel has a very European and historic feel. Nicely updated. It is located on the edge of the trendy Pearl District of Portland, Or. Where restaurants and upscale shopping of all descriptions abound, yet feels quiet and private. The Max free rail transportation is right outside on the street to take you to the waterfront and various other entertainments. Freeway access is within blocks. Streets seem safe and friendly. Be aware parking is $27 per day.”

• Very helpful.
• The room had a continuous hum from what was assumed to be air conditioners on the roof above.

“Good location, fine service, very pleasant service, and good location. The room was of a good size and the ambience of the room was very acceptable. There was however a hum which seemed to come from some equipment above our room.”

• Location, style.
• Not enough space in the bedroom (desk to close to the bed). Construction going on nearby, very noisy.

“The hotel met my expectations for the star rating (overall aspect), but not for the room. The set-up of the room was not adequate: not enough space to move around, one window was not functioning properly, there was a minibar but no fridge. (I agree with previous comments about it).”

“We had a great experience at the Governor's Hotel. We always prefer boutique hotels over the big chains and this hotel did not disappoint. The beds were very comfy and there was no street noise whatsoever. The staff was very helpful.”

• An historic surroundings with modern, luxury upgrades.
• There were a number of homeless in the hotel's environment; no self-parking.

“The Governor House, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, surrounds guests with a roaring twenties atmosphere while providing the comforts of the 21st century. Dark woods, mosaic floors, sweeping staircases, and sophisticated dining spaces are more suited for families with older children and adult travelers. Metro lines vary from bus service to light rail to streetcars but are a little difficult to use without prior study of a city map and Metro guide.”

• Great 6th floor room.
• Bathroom fixtures.

“Loved it! Would stay again in a heartbeat. Perfect location for downtown business. Nice bar/restaurant. 6th floor had nice, airy rooms with sky lights. Fireplace was a bonus added touch (a little gas smell, though). Overall, A+ experience.”

• Great staff. Comfortable bed.
• The door men were abundant (3-4) but all focused on one person rather than "dividing and conquering". Too focused on tips.

“Nice. They were wonderfully accommodating luckily and I enjoyed the stay.”
