This was an odd stay: at about 9:30 pm, we received a knock on our hotel room door. A man with…read morewalkie-talkie stood beyond the peep hole. I asked if I could help him and he excitedly responded, "Oh! Em, I'm just confirming that this room is occupied." I assured him it was and he scurried off down the hallway talking to someone on his radio. This was before the literal garbage fire. The hotel sits on the edge of less than savory part of town. In fact, our room overlooked a park that is frequented by unhoused people. This, in and of itself, wasn't a problem -- this part of town has several drop in clinics that become gathering points for unhoused people. It became a problem when, at 11 pm, I opened the curtains for one last look at the city, only to be treated by a trashcan in the park outside our window spewing smoke. Just as I picked up the phone to call Guest Services, the thing erupted into flames. There are trees in this park whose trunks are firmly planted in the turf across the street, but whose limbs brush against the hotel, so I wanted to be sure this was resolved before going to bed. When I told guest services about the fire, I was challenge with, "well, is it on hotel property?" I explained it wasn't, but it was just outside of our window, and the front desk staff advised me to call the non emergency line for the fire department. Now, we're from out of town -- thus our needing a hotel to sleep in for the night -- and deferring to the out-of-towners to report a fire close to the hotel seems a bit less than responsible; we don't know street names, or of this is a common enough occurrence with which to bother the fire department. I told the the fire department that I had called the front desk, and that they handed the task of calling off to me, and the dispatcher's response was a sarcastic, "oh, that's convenient for them. Well it looks like someone -- not your hotel -- called the fire in, so the firefighters are already en route." Was this an anomalous chain of very strange events? Maybe. But it's all left us feeling a more than a little uneasy.

As soon as I stepped through the front door, I felt as though I had stepped back in time. The lobby dazzles with beautiful chandeliers, a grand piano, and an impressive mirror, while the hotel also offers a charming small restaurant, another dining option downstairs, and a full-sized gym. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, providing excellent service even without an official concierge. Overall, the location is fantastic--easy to walk to so many attractions in downtown Portland. Highly recommended!

Our room was standard king, narrow and long, not the super spacious one but good enough. Staff were polite and efficient. The hotel is very clean, dated , but it was kept up.

Location is wonderful, high walking score to restaurants, markets and water front. Highly recommend by your travelfoodie @WineDinenVacay

I've stayed at the Hotel Deluxe a few times now and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back…read more Check-in is so easy it almost feels suspicious. No drama, no confusion, just keys in hand and off you go. The building itself has that great old Portland movie-era charm. It feels like the kind of place where a film star from the 1940s might walk around the corner at any moment looking for a martini. Instead it's usually just me looking for the elevator, but still... the vibe is excellent. Parking is on the next block over and surprisingly easy, which in Portland counts as a minor miracle. I've spent more time looking for parking at grocery stores. Now let's talk about the Driftwood Bar. Do not skip it. Curt the bartender is the kind of guy who makes you want to cancel your plans and just sit there all evening solving the world's problems over a well-made drink. Friendly, funny, and he actually knows how to make a proper cocktail. I wish I had more time to just saddle up to the bar and chat with him. Breakfast at Gracie's was also great. Our waitress Erin took care of us Wednesday morning when the place was mostly empty. Service was friendly, the food looked like someone actually cared when they put it on the plate, and the prices were totally reasonable. No $38 "artisanal avocado toast with existential despair." Just good breakfast done right. So what more do you want? Comfortable clean bed, reasonable prices, great bar, solid breakfast, and you're right in the heart of Portland. If you're staying in the city and want a hotel with character instead of a bland corporate sleep box, Hotel Deluxe is the move. I'll definitely be back...

I'm so disappointed. I've been going to Hotel deLuxe for years and have written 5 reviews several…read moretimes... but things have changed dramatically. The greeting was subpar (which was one of my favorite moments of each stay) and then what I experienced in my room was well below the standard I would expect: cracked window, scudge coming down the bathroom drain, stained carpet, a slip cover on the couch because the couch was in such bad shape, etc. I ran into the manager in the elevator and shared what I was experiencing and invited him to see the room. Instead of moving me to a different room, he offered an upgrade for my next visit. Why would I come back. In addition, he shared that the front desk person isn't great at hospitality and she is leaving. This is his hotel... and he threw her under the bus. There were many more moments: Going to get my car only to find the garage door locked. Someone should have let me know to call in advance to have access to my car - I was carrying all my bags and had to walk back to the hotel. And my experience with the bar service and food was subpar. I will not be returning.

The soaps in the showers were top quality and smelled lovely - Rooms were very quiet and the whole hotel had a luxurious feel. - The staff were INCREDIBLE! Special shout out to the front desk staff who helped out immensely. We did have to change rooms in the middle (our reservation, not the hotel's fault) and they made it seamless. - Extra special shout out to Richie in the valet service. All of the valet guys were incredible, quick and kind. - The food in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner was delicious and relatively affordable for the quality. - Wine hour (free wine from 5-6pm) was a nice touch to get our evenings going in the right direction. The wine wasn't the best but I can't complain about free wine and appetizers. - Our only criticism was the lack of water stations on the hotel floors. Not sure if we couldn't find them - they did have ice machines - but we did have to go back to the lobby and into the fitness room to fill our bottles. Not a bad thing, just a little inconvenient. Overall, an excellent stay and would recommend this location greatly!

Overall this hotel was an average hotel I picked it because it was for Amex and I needed to use my credit before the year-end. During our stay, the fire alarm went off and that was insanely loud. No one can sleep through that. Gladly when we came down to the lobby they stated that it was a false alarm. Soon after about an hour or so we got a text message saying that it was a false alarm. I did enjoy the breakfast here at the lobby! That was actually pretty delicious and I would say to try it out. The beds and comfortable and you can also bring your dog into this hotel which is kind of cool! That was a bonus seeing all the different-sized dogs roaming around.

I braced myself for a balmy room -- and got the opposite. The front desk had already checked, already planned, already made sure I'd never feel it. That's the difference between service and *care*. They gave me real information, not scripted apologies, and my whole stay stayed pleasant because of it. The little touches worked: the cards for tipping and amenities made everything simple. The room was clean. The bedding was immaculate. I slept deep and woke up comfortable. Inside, the hotel was quiet, calm, and still somehow fun -- with plenty of workspaces to choose from. My window faced the river, and there's something that settles in you about waking up to water. There's something else, too, in hearing regular conversations, watching regular people head to work or stroll the waterfront. That's real. That's a city letting you in. The location made everything easy -- right downtown on Morrison, steps from the waterfront. I hopped the train and went where I needed to go without calculating an Uber every time I stepped outside. I enjoyed the drink chip and the snack or treat left for guests in the lobby during happy hour. Hotel Rose is my home away from home, and the Portland crew gets my rave review.

While I kinda like different cultures, the Swinger's club they are associated with may have encouraged the nicotine smoke smell in the curtains/ walls- per rumor, but either way- I should have negotiated a lower amount after they didn't use the right treatment after mentioned.

I was there to use their business center and check out their bar facilities on 11th floor (highly recommdned ..it's picture worthy) and the staff didn't bat their eyes at me at all. Overall, wonderful looking hotel. On a more expensive side compared to its sister hotel around the corner. But..their facilities appeared more trendly and I could definitely see how jusfified it was for them to charge a little more. Great staff and venue!

An OK upper scale hotel disguised as a premium one in Amex FHR program…read more This hotel has some unique and thoughtful arts and designs, which distinguish itself from budget hotel brands like Fairfield and Hilton Garden Inn, but it is no way a typical FHR level hotel. The staff here were not as rude as many others have experienced, but I wouldn't say they're friendly either. I firstly arrived at 1PM but they said it's too early to check-in - a potential Amex FHR benefit not honored. Yes the benefit is "12pm check-in, when available" but it's still disappointing. The guy who checked me in went through the Amex FHR benefits but claimed that I could only get free breakfast for one because I was staying alone. I've stayed tens of Amex FHR and Chase The Edit hotels and have never heard this before. After pushing back he agreed to honor breakfast credit for two. He didn't mention anything about upgrades and I didn't get it, either. So it's like they didn't want to provide anything not guaranteed in Amex FHR. The person who stored my backpack was impatient and almost like I interrupted his rest. He just opened the door and asked me to put my backpack in the room by myself. The room condition was fair. There was no bad odor or obvious dirtiness, but the headboard was damaged. By looking at the bathroom along, you won't believe you're staying in an Amex FHR hotel. Finally they failed to apply the Amex FHR food credit and billed me the full restaurant charge. I had to stop by the front desk to have this corrected. It's almost like they just tried to list themselves on the Amex FHR program to draw more bookings but really tried hard to squeeze the cost by providing minimal benefits possible.
