For a hotel that supposedly features all the amenities, the fact that there's no fan in the bathroom besides a weak central air vent (loud fans do double duty when it's time to do yours), the towel rack fell off on the slightest touch (for display only?), it has no windows that open (aka not a 4/20 celebration destination), and offers a TV that is about 10 years old with a basic cable channel selection circa 1995 (all infomercials after midnight, hooray!), the Residence Inn Portland Downtown Riverplace overlooks some basic features that cheaper lodgings provide with aplomb. Location is good, kitchenette is nice, but didn't make up for the real necessities. And oh yeah, it cost THIRTY-SEVEN DOLLARS to park in their garage overnight! Thievery.

PS: It should not take 20 minutes to deliver an extra blanket to the room. It's not a cheeseburger.
