Excellent hotel! Perfect location! My colleague...

Excellent hotel! Perfect location! My colleagues and I visited this hotel for a one night business trip. This is an older, historic, downtown hotel which has been totally renovated interior. The lobby and common areas are updated and pleasant. The guest rooms are modern, large, clean and comfortable. The location in mid town Portland is perfect, especially if you don't have transportation. There are many restaurants, pubs, tap rooms, and unique shopping near this hotel. Although I didn't have a chance to visit, the Portland Muesum of Art was visable from my guest room. The hotel offers an airport shuttle, another really nice and convenient ammenity. The hotel staff is polite and professional. My only complaint was the unwelcome conversation and comments provided by Marty, Hotel shuttle driver, who picked us up when we arrived. My colleagues and I would have preferred not to be subjected to the ethnic and politically inappropriate comments. It's disheartening and sad when people feel compelled to share inappropriate and, in my opinion, offensive commentary, especially in a customer service environment. However, after arriving at the hotel, it was clear our politically charged shuttle ride was an isolated event, and not a reflection of this beautiful and comfortable hotel! Absolutely, I highly recommend this hotel!!
