Cold, leaking and no hot water...
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

11/11/2007 Posted by dragonflytat

It is November. And it's cold outside. My friends and I paid 110$ for what looked like a totally hip room while visiting from out of town. Next time we'll stay somewhere else. As soon as we turned the lights off we noticed that blue light was coming in from all around the air conditioner, along with frigid outside air. Then we heard what sounded like water dripping into our room. So we got up, found water dripping in from the wall by the window. So we moved all our cameras, phones and computer cords away... and tried to call the front desk. They have no answering service, the phone is just set to "busy" all night. I know cause I tried to call a few times. I expected to miss some sleep since it's a party-scene sort of place... But I really thought we would have a dry, warm place to hang out. Since we paid 110$ for one night. Apparently, not so much. After a night of partying out on the town in Portland (where you can smoke in bars), one might like to shower in the morning. Yes? I know I would! Especially when I'm cold from all that outside air blowing in all night... Oh, but sadly, the hotel does not supply even warm water.... Tepid would be a generous adjective to describe the water temperature; in this case. Staff at the frond desk was very friendly; both checking in, while I was complaining and while checking out. The attached restaurant is very cool, the drinks were good. Breakfast in the morning was also good, coffee was decent quality. Sadly the room failed at those basic reasons you might want to rent a room... Warmth, hot showers, and staying dry.
