Very Comfortable Stay for a Week
I stayed here during my association's annual conference, being held at the Oregon Convention Center, so as a senior staff member, I was given a one-bedroom suite.
The location is an easy 10-minute walk to the OCC, as long as it's not raining. Unfortunately, it poured down rain most mornings, so I often took a Lyft or Uber that was fairly inexpensive and arrived quickly.
Check-in was easy, staff were nice, and the one-bedroom suite was very roomy and spacious and comfortable. Each one is a bit different (I saw a few other colleagues' suites). Mine opened into a small eat-in kitchen, with a square table, four chairs, completely set for dinner, and then all of the kitchen along one wall, with a sink, microwave, larger (not full size and not mini)fridge, lots of kitchenware, etc. This was perfect for me because I eat a specific way and like to order my own food through UberEats and then prepare and bring it with me for the day at the convention center. (Some of the other kitchens have a bar with barstools instead of a table, which I liked better, but not a big deal.)
Past the kitchen is the living room, with two sofas, a coffee table, a large screen TV, and a desk/chair area with plenty of room to work. As a communications director, I used this quite a lot to work in my room.
A door near the work area leads into the one bedroom/bathroom suite, which is huge. There is a full-size closet with two sliding doors that also have full length mirrors on them. A king size bed features fluffy pillows and comforter. A big dresser also holds a big-screen TV. There are two bedside tables, an armchair in the corner near the entrance to the bathroom, and plenty of windows.
The bathroom features a huge shower, towels on a warming bar, a big vanity/counter with plenty of space for your stuff, makeup mirror, hairdryer, etc.
This was a very comfie room to spend a week in and I really enjoyed it. For me, it was a perfect set up.
There was a small bar downstairs and a sitting area with a fireplace. I did have a drink with colleagues there one evening, and it was nice.
The area around the hotel is decent (there's a senior living apartment building across the street), so walking through the neighborhood to the main street that takes you to the OCC is safe. The sidewalks are a bit broken up.
But once you are on the main street and walking to the OCC, the closer you get to that area, the situation deteriorates. There is a large population of homeless people, most of whom appear to suffer from mental illness, and they can be aggressive, so be very careful and don't interact with them. In fact, if you are a woman walking alone, regardless of time of day, I would recommend taking a cab or rideshare to and from the OCC.
However, I did not see any homeless individuals around the hotel. The grounds are immaculate and there is security, so no need to worry about that at this property.
