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
