โStaff were very friendly and made us feel like they knew us. Location is also great. Definitely would recommend this hotel and will be staying again! โ
โAbsolutely loved our stay at The Royal Sonesta Portland Downtown. The lobby is a work of artโplayful, stylish, and full of character. Our room was spacious, comfy, and felt like a true escape from the city bustle. The staff went above and beyond, making us feel genuinely cared for. Perfect location, gorgeous vibe, and a warmth you donโt often find in hotels. You can tell itโs an older building, with serious 1930โs charm beautifully blended with modern updates. Canโt wait to come back!โ
โHonestly, the staff cannot have been any nicer. Friendly from the moment I walk through the door. I thought the hotel was in a really great location. It was very easy to get to via the train from the airport which I would highly recommend. I will definitely go back to this hotel if I'm ever in Portland, Oregon again.โ
"The location is excellent. Overall, the staff are friendly. The rooms are spacious and decent, but they do not meet the high-end quality I imagined when booking. It's an average hotel, but it has a few drawbacks.
Firstly, it was listed as offering free breakfast, but instead of an actual free breakfast, they provide a credit that can be used like a voucher for the total amount. The breakfast itself is not great for the price, so it doesnโt seem worth selecting. Additionally, there is no bathtub in the bathroom, which is a disappointing omission.
The tap water is also quite murky. They claim itโs mineral water, but it just looks dirty. Being sensitive, I also experienced minor skin irritation after using the water.
The pool and fitness center are somewhat small but usable. This hotel is $40โ50 more expensive than others, and I booked it for the pool and breakfast as its advantages, but they werenโt particularly necessary, as the experience is ultimately similar to other hotels.
It wasnโt a bad experience, but Iโll likely try other hotels next time."
