"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."

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

Lonely Planet "Large mansions can make fine B&Bs, and Portland's White House is no exception."
DK Eyewitness "This Greek Revival-style mansion, one of the grandest properties in the upscale Irvington neighborhood, bears a strong resemblance to its Washington, DC namesake."
Fodor's "Hardwood floors with oriental rugs, chandeliers, antiques, and fountains create a warm and romantic mood at this elegant bed-and-breakfast in the historic Irvington District." Full review
Gayot "The mansion sits in the midst of one of Portland's most desirable neighborhoods, and it's convenient to shopping and fine restaurants, as well."
Frommer's "This imposing Greek-revival mansion bears more than a passing resemblance to its namesake in Washington, D.C." Full review

Request the balcony room and you can gaze out past the Greek columns and imagine you're in the Oval Office.
Frommer's "It's an elegant, decidedly romantic place with attentive service...five guest rooms in the main house and three more in the Carriage House feature antiques, four-poster feather beds and rich linens." Full review
