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."

Fodor's "Staying here, adjacent to lively N.W. 23rd Avenue, is a great alternative to being right downtown, and during the week a select local-area shuttle service is available, if you schedule in advance." Full review
Gayot "Boutiques, restaurants and upscale wine bars abound on Third Avenue. Aside from a few upscale B&Bs, there arent many lodging choices in this neighborhood."
Frommer's "This hotel is on the edge of Portland's trendy Nob Hill neighborhood, and though it's also near an industrial area, it is still an attractive and comfortable place" Full review
