"Once a nondescript motor-court motel, this is one of the most fashionable hotels in Portland, with a bold, stylish look and posh amenities such as luxurious linens and fine toiletries."

"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
