    beautiful outdoor spaces
    limited parking options

    The outdoor spaces provided a lovely, serene garden perfect for relaxing mornings after a day of exploring Portland.

    Parking can be tricky. although we found street parking nearby, we did notice that most spaces are limited to 15 minutes during the day.

    tricky parking
    limited spaces

    I truly enjoyed my stay at Best Bower. The location was fantastic, just a short stroll from all the vibrant attractions in Portland. My room was immaculately clean, with a delightful shared kitchen space that made preparing light snacks a breeze.

    Parking can be tricky.

    neighborhood safety
    cleanliness issues
    parking limitations

    great neighborhood, safe surroundings, accessible hiking trails

    Such a disappointment with cleanliness standards, especially a used towel left behind!!! Limited garbage bins over a longer stay? A better parking situation could do wonders!!!

    gorgeous courtyard

    Couples seeking a cozy escape

    Honestly better than the photos! The coffee was amazing haven't brewed like that before but loved it. The courtyard was just gorgeous and really made for relaxing mornings. The kitchenette was super accessible, made it easy to whip up snacks when we needed to charge for the day.

    It wasn't cheap, but totally worth it.

    central location
    urban charm

    central gem near parks and local hotspots for exploring portland

    Staying here was a wonderful experience, especially with the iconic Victoria Mansion just 2 km away and so many great eateries like the Front Room just a short walk away, making it perfect for city strolls. I loved opening my window to get that lovely fresh air! the outdoor spaces were nice for unwinding after my walks, but i did encounter a few cleanliness issues during my stay

    cleanliness
    modern comfort
    small room
    limited check-in options
    parking challenge

    The Congress Street Queen room showcased a blend of historic charm with modern cleanliness and comfort, enhancing our romantic getaway. The spacious bathroom and excellent shower pressure contributed to the overall comfort of our stay. The shared kitchen space was a great addition, making it easy to prepare snacks and light meals. It’s essential to note that the room was on the smaller side, which might not suit everyone, but we were out and about most of the time, thoroughly enjoying the nearby attractions.

    outdoor hot tub
    tricky thermostat

    We loved our room with gorgeous skylights and a cozy living area! The relaxation spots like the outdoor hot tub and the serene garden were perfect for unwinding. Just a heads up, the thermostat was a bit tricky at times. 😊

    cozy room
    kitchenette surprise
    tricky parking

    Absolutely loved the cozy, bright room. It was clean, and the kitchenette was a delightful surprise for our snack cravings. Perfect spot for a rainy day—no complaints here!

    Parking felt like an Olympic sport, especially at night! Would have been nice if my car could find a spot as easily as I did a comfy chair.
