DK Eyewitness "Whimsically decorated and furnished with antiques, classrooms-turned-guestrooms still have their chalkboards and clocks, but now they also have private bathrooms."
Rough Guide "Unique rooms in a refurbished 1915 schoolhouse with chalkboards and cloakrooms, plus modern appointments."
Fodor's "In a renovated elementary school in northeast Portland, this may well be one of the most unusual (and awesome) hotels you'll ever encounter." Full review

Frommer's "The accommodations here are primarily two-room suites, with the exception of a handful of studio suites." Full review
Fodor's "In the former Multnomah Hotel, built in 1912, the grand lobby of this hotel offers an extravagant welcome to the spacious two-room suite accommodations." Full review
Star Service "What makes this place unique is that it is the most historic Embassy Suites in the country, a skillful reconstruction of the 1912 Multnomah Hotel. " Full review
Gayot "The lobby of this restored 1912 beauty is wonderfully rococo, and although some might even call it gaudy, it's certainly in tune with the turn of the last century."
Star Service "In a prime downtown location, close to the Center for the Performing Arts and shopping, across from the Heathman Hotel, this is the Rose City's biggest and best commercial blockbuster." Full review

Luckily, this hotel has launched Hilton's mobile check-in, meaning guests can choose their room online and unlock their door using a Bluetooth mobile phone, eliminating the need to wait in line.

Frommer's "The rooms don’t have all the fashionista frou-frou of downtown’s smaller boutique hotels, or the restrained elegance of the Benson, but when you enter the lobby of this enormous hotel—with its intricate columns, gilding, and plasterwork— you know you have entered someplace special" Full review
