I don’t understand the glowing reviews & photos are definitely deceiving. I should have captured the armed security guards all over the place and the homeless drug addicts shooting up on the street. I have never been so relieved to leave Portland. What a gorgeous city overcome with homeless tent camps and sad addicts freebasing on every corner. Tried to walk a few blocks to dinner but had to Uber back in order to be safe. Thankfully we didn’t bring our children but it would have been such an education on why not to try drugs. Luckily our car was not broken in to (see past reviews) however a homeless person clearly made it onto our floor screaming at 5am since the elevator’s card reader to make it onto upper floors was not operational. We were mostly deceived by AmEx as this property was listed as a Fine Hotels property. It is not but I would say the others listed were not either (the Nines was much nicer but more addicts were down that way. Another old hotel but nice hotels in Portland are few & far between). Love this city but I will not be back until it is cleaned up and the Ritz Carlton opens. All of this said, the staff at the Duniway are doing their best with what they have to work with. We experienced great customer service, clean rooms, and comfortable rooms. The hotel desperately needs an update though. What made our stay a positive one is that we left unharmed, found some great restaurants (go to the Pearl District), and spent all day away from Portland at Hood River or the Oregon coast.
The Nines is a luxurious hotel that met and exceeded my expectations.
Location: The Nines is located in Central Portland, near Pioneer Courtyard Square, and is a stone's throw away from many excellent restaurants, shopping, and tourist destinations.
Room: The room itself is fairly large and luxurious, with a very new renovation. The two queen beds were very large and the bedding was very comfortable. The washroom is large and has everything that is needed. The ceiling height is very high, so it makes the room feel very spacious. Well done and designed.
Common Area: Wow! From the entry of the hotel, to the hallways upstairs, it was surely a journey through excellent design! The lobby is in the center of the hotel, on the eighth floor. The lobby is large and is very well designed, with an atrium/courtyard like style.
Service: People were attentive and housekeeping did a good job. Concierge was willing to help and had an excellent attitude.
Without any doubt, The Nines is surely Portland's best hotel.
酒店本身,前台工作人員,餐廳和房間都很棒。價格對於所有這些來說都很棒。房間的大小,浴室,裝飾,設施,質量,外觀/感覺,服務等都給我留下了深刻的印象。這是我旅行的亮點,如果這家酒店在別的地方,我每次都會來這裏。話說回來,酒店的位置在波特蘭市中心最糟糕的地方,再加上荒謬的(字面意思是令人驚豔的)停車挑戰,這就使得這是一個不推薦的建議。很難相信他們沒有停車結構,只能使用代客或(不安全)街道停車。即使到達酒店也很難,因爲附近有很多街道都關閉了。我打電話問我應該停在哪裏,被告知那只是僕人,要找到前面和雙層停車場的任何位置(我確實如此)。我不得不停在公共汽車站,留下我的眼罩,把我的鑰匙交給僕人。45分鐘後,我仍然可以從10樓的房間裏看到我的車輛,所以我就去了僕人,並表示我擔心我會買票或被拖走。他說他工作過度,下午2點開始輪班(當時是晚上11點),沒有吃午飯或休息,停車幾乎已經夠用了,他“希望”他後來能到那裏去。當我和他說話時,另外兩位客人打斷了(大概也是出於同樣的擔憂),決定把車停在街上,冒着風險。20分鐘後,我的車終於停了下來。早上,我的一個天線被折斷,坐在我的前座上。Par for the course...我希望事先知道停車情況有多糟糕,因爲我永遠不會選擇這個地方。太可惜了,因爲酒店和房間都很棒。如果你是乘坐出租車或搭車去酒店,不打算出去,那麼這就是贏家。如果你有任何類型的交通工具,甚至都不要打擾。這是一次沮喪和煩惱的運動。
I always stay at the Comfort Suites Portland Airport when I am flying out of PDX, this has been my ”go to” place to stay for years! Very affordable and has everything you need for a short stay. I have never had any issue or problems, the rooms have always been clean, the beds are comfortable, and the staff have always been very accommodating. They have a great little breakfast bar every morning so you can start your day without making a special trip to a restaurant. The parking lot is well lit so it feels very secure, I've left my car there for 2+ weeks and never had any problems. A great perk is that there is a 24-hour convenience store in the back of the hotel, as well as a nice sports bar that is open until 10:00 or so. I like that fact that once I check in I don't have to get back in my car to travel for dinner or snacks for the plane. I don't think I will ever stay at a different hotel near the airport, this one has everything I need!
I love the autonomy of this hotel! The management was in touch and always available via text. Great coffee shop directly connected to the lobby. My room was cozy and I had a big tub! Beautiful old building, raw and rustic. Staircase was wide and not steep. Elevator was available. Quiet room. Linens were great. All the hotel bathroom amenities. Electric kettle and mini fridge came in handy. Great location. Near restaurants, bars, groceries and transit. I would totally stay here again.
