Review of Heathman Hotel Portland

The bad:

The Queen Deluxe bathroom is crazy small. I m not a large person, but felt cramped and would imagine a large person would not feel comfortable at all. The bathroom lighting cast horrible shadows on my face; the overhead lights were just too harsh and the mirror backlighting wasn t strong enough to compensate.

The actual bedroom was large enough, but some of the furniture choices were not to scale, which made the space less functional; namely, the TV and table it was on were so massive that you couldn t properly open the closet door and there was no room for a valet for your suitcase. These are the kind of things that a newly decorated hotel should not get wrong...why pay for a designer?

As far as decoration; everything was nice and new and the modern take with a nod to the history of the hotel worked well in the common areas, but the actual rooms felt uninspired.

The good:

Wonderful location and staff who go above and beyond. Our daughters stayed in the king deluxe room and there was plenty of space. It s definitely worth the upgrade to have a spacious room with a functional bathroom and separate vanity area. Comfortable, supportive beds with lots of pillow choices.

The Russian high tea was delicious and impressive, and we enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting by the fire, drinking coffee and reading a book in the morning while my family slept in.

In the future I will choose similarly priced or slightly less expensive options in the neighborhood that suit my needs better.
