Frommer's
"The Crystal epitomizes a certain Portland aesthetic that is basic, down-to-earth. In fact, the rooms with shared bathrooms at the Crystal are the best deals in town." Full review
Frommer's
"Rooms named after famous musicians who have hit the stage at the Ballroom...staying here gives you same-night access to otherwise sold-out shows. Al's Den in the basement hosts more live music" Full review

Star Service
"Across the bridge from bustling Portland, Oregon, and just 15 minutes from its airport, this place is a little hard to find but well worth the effort." Full review
Fodor's
"This rustic-chic hotel is marred only by its bland suburban location in Vancouver, Washington." Full review
Gayot
"The local mall may be closer than the nearest ski slope, but visitors to this large lodge wouldn't know it to look at it."
Afar Magazine
"Don’t let Portland’s low-key, outdoorsy-hipster vibe fool you: the Heathman Hotel is as grown-up and refined as they come." Full review
