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
