I wanted to speak with someone about the issues I had with this club before or instead of posting…read morethis, but the voicemail is full and the phone is never answered. So here we are. I do not live in Portland and was visiting this club for the first time. Needless to say, I will never return. First, I want to say that all of the employees I interacted with were polite, professional and efficient. The bartender was terrific; she kept my drinks full and easily served a round of drinks for the table for me. So why the one-star review? Simply put, this club does not have any luck keeping out of control patrons in check. I was seated at a table with a guy who repeatedly made rude comments, including comments that bordered on predatory and rape culture. So much so, he was actually called out by the dealer and his seatmate. But to no avail. He continued to make comments and was continuing to be served alcohol despite his obvious intoxication. When I busted out, he spun around and around in his chair laughing like a drunken toddler. As a woman, I was offended, demoralized and felt somewhat threatened. It was not a welcoming environment in any way. What a shame.

As a Portland native, I am familiar with the gambling nightlife. While there are many locations to…read morechoose from, what I look for in a place I plan to $pend and win, even lose, are few not so common amenities. Lets face it, wether you go to Sharis in the back for the machines, or to the strip club machines, the vibe, cleanliness, comfort, desire to return and parkine are most important. I need to feel comfortable, not distracted, safe, and there of course needs to be parking. The Game Poker Club is CLEAN! Well organized! And the owner always puts on the personal touch for everyone. NOT just the house regulars. What a breath of fresh air! Literally! Nobody wants to walk out feeling like they don't want to go back. Also, walking to your car in a sketch area is a bit unnerving, None of that here. Great neighborhood, parking and plenty of winning to be had. I look forward to my return visits! Thank you Harry!

The only negatives are the $17 parking fee, for parking on their unsecured lot each day, and that we were not advised that the maid service was only every other day. The "tipping just got easier"placard clearly visible on the coffee table in our room was quite ironic, as we had to call for towels when we returned to our room last evening and it took over half an hour and two phone calls to receive them. Staff are friendly. Breakfast buffet is extensive and includes everything from cold cereal to a made-to-order omelettes. There's also a restaurant on site that offers an upscale menu. Hotel itself is clean and comfortable, with the main courtyard on the first floor open to the rooms rising up several stories. Happy hour and some breakfast busy times can be a little noisy as we were on the second floor, but it wasn't anything that was unbearable. In addition, there's a mall nearby and a Target store across the street if you need to pick up other snacks or maybe something you forgot to pack. All in all, a comfortable stay and we would stay here again when in the area.

Room air conditioning took a good couple days to really cool down. Towels are scratchy and in desperate need of replacement. Light fixtures and A/C vent in the bathroom are visibly rusty. Bed is reasonably comfortable, though --no complaints there. WiFi is painfully slow (10 Mbps down/up) and there are no LAN connections in the room. Parking is tight, with not a lot of spaces for such a large property. I can't imagine what it's like trying to park here when the convention center is in use.

To be honest, they're an even better place to play than the casinos in the area. Their tournaments have better structures, generally more players, and lower rakes than the under $150 buy-in tournaments at any of the casinos I've visited in Oregon and Washington. As a tournament fan I've visited almost all of them over the years, so I was pretty surprised to find the best overall deal right here in Portland. They compare easily with Reno or smaller Vegas casinos. Their ambitious schedule and variety of buy-ins (From $30 up) means that you should be able to find something to your liking pretty easily, so long as you're looking to play Hold-em. They have yet to offer any PLO tournaments, although they do offer some PLO8. The staff keeps the place running smooth and generally conflict-free. While there are the occasional blow-ups and arguments, it's nothing out of the ordinary and the floor employees will quickly calm things down when needed. The snack and beverage prices are very reasonable, with a waitress who walks around the room so you don't have to get up and miss a hand. While you're not going to get a Venetian-style experience (My biggest complaint is their lack of antes) I've found the best overall poker in town at the Player's Palace.

This place has been a bucket list item for a long time and can't believe I finally made it. Voted World's Favorite Pinball Arcade! And I totally agree. There are almost 700 pinball and arcade games. $23 per person for an all-day wristband. Unlimited Free Play, hundreds of vintage and modern pinball machines and arcade classics (excluding select prize and claw games). The worlds largest lunchbox collections, re-entry privileges, snack shop or order door dash an enjoy your food in a designated eating area. They even have a party room. There are soda machines that require exact change in dollar bills only. I have to say I am so IMPRESSED with how CLEAN it was. Not 1 drink ring on any glass top pinball machines. NOT 1!!! Love the drink holders on the games. And not 1 broke down game, that's super impressive. From the minute you walk in the door everything was in tip top shape, for the volume of people they serve and how many games they have it's all really impressive. Also, amazing ventilation, I expected it to be hot and it wasn't, in fact bring a jacket. And the people that were 'boo hooing" about the "service is terrible", it's them that have to be "terrible". The guy who greeted me at the counter (black beanie and beard) was lovely and informative. And no "it's not sensory friendly" .... asking if it's "too noisy" is ridiculous. There're almost 700 games!! No Karen, it's not going to be "quiet". Their website says "everyone needs a wristband to enter", those are the rules, what is so confusing about that?? I can see why they wouldn't let anyone in to wonder around for their kid...the place is huge... How about - tell your kid to meet you outside at X time. That's not difficult, and if your kid can't follow that direction maybe they shouldn't be there, and/or you go with them. Whiney crybabies!

HOLY. SWEET. SISTER. MARY. FRANCIS…read more This place is... AWESOME. A couple buddies went with me from Eugene to Hillsboro to primarily check out this place. We are very pleased that we did. Upon pulling in, we worried, because the parking up front is sparse. There is, however, ample parking around the back. You have to hoof it a bit once to you do get parked, but they have enough room for everyone. There are food trucks outside - one with pizzas and others with chicken basket kinds of items. There are other small buildings around the main, large one. I am not sure what all is in those. One of them in the back has a bunch of claw machines. The others may be museum places and we didn't check those out. Once inside the main building, you get a wristband that allows you to play all day for $23. There is a small section of ticket/claw machine kind of games, but the vast majority of the 690 games are free to play arcade machines. Now, I have a multicade at home. I can play a lot of arcade games, but even with 12,000 games on my machine, there are a lot that I don't have. This place has many of the ones that mine doesn't (not all - but most). And it has 300+ pinball machines. When my friends and I first walked in, I went into a U-shaped area and spent 45 minutes playing a couple old racing games a bunch of pinball machines. They have pinball machines I've never heard. Lots of them that I have never heard of. My machine doesn't do pinball and I'm terrible at them, so I rarely play, but when they are free, I played a whole bunch! Beyond pinball, there was a skeeball area, several different driving games - including 3 different 4-person sets of Mario Kart, but they were always full with people that didn't one round and move on, they would play for 40 minutes straight and hog the entire thing. We never got to play Mario Kart since it was perpetually taken. We did get in on some other driving machines by luck. There was a Star Wars area with Star Wars games, there were old school and new school arcade games. There was one where you pull your guy up a mountain by pulling on a rope. A VR game, lots of shooters, and it is big enough that I lost my buddies a couple times and it took 3-4 minutes to figure out where they were playing. We were there for 5 hours an in no way had a chance to remote play everything. We wouldn't have had a chance to play all of the pinball machines solely (even though I suck at them and my games go pretty quickly) if that was all I was there to do. They did have a couple couches here and there and with all the standing in front of machines, your back and legs can get tired. There is a U-shaped area to bring your food from the food trucks inside to eat. Far too much to see and do in this place. I should note that it is very loud. If you have autistic children, they may struggle here. Noise cancelling headphones may help, but my voice was starting to go after the 5 hours because you have to be pretty loud to be heard over all of the games and the people inside. This place is epic. It doesn't have everything (I would have loved to have played Elevator Action, but they didn't have it), but it has soooo many games. And if pinball is your thing, you'll think you died and went to heaven. You really have to start early and somehow stay all day to get through sections of the establishment and even then, you'll have to come back again and again to finish playing the rest of the titles. I wish they had a method of moving people along for the popular driving games so people didn't just camp there for the majority of an hour, but there was plenty else to do so it is by no means a deal breaker. Even if you have arcade machines at home - or a multicade like mine - you need to see the epicness (that's needs to be a word) of Next Level Pinball Museum!
