"This former elementary school is now home to a hotel... restaurant with great garden courtyard, several bars, a microbrewery and movie theater." Full review
Travel + Leisure "if you want to get any sleep at all, be sure to ask for a room overlooking the “quiet courtyard.”" Full review
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
Gayot "The walls are adorned with amazing art, from historical photos to mosaics to Indonesian wood panels."
OysterUpper-middle-range
"For those who ever harbored childhood fantasies of spending the night in their school ... then a night or two at this converted 1915 schoolhouse may very well be a dream come true." Full review
Not For Tourists "Former elementary school turned hipster hotel. As rad as it sounds."
Afar Magazine "Housed in a converted elementary school dating back to 1915, this sprawling hotel complex has long drawn out-of-towners and local Portlanders alike." Full review
Frommer's "There's colorful hand-painted art on the walls, a couch-filled movie-theater pub, a brewery, and a saltwater soaking pool outdoors...staying here will take you back to your school days" Full review

Frommer's "Mountain lodge meets urban chic at this suburban Vancouver hotel adjacent to the Vancouver Mall." 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
