This is supposed to be the most elegant hotel in the area. We got the most basic room: tiny, dark with a few of a closed off air shaft! It was pretty creepy. Granted we got a good price but I would have paid more for a view and some air and light. And it was made worse by getting texts from the hotel sending superlatives about how our visit must be the most charming and delightful time we've ever experienced in their hotel. When I finally said, well, no, it wasn't...they did finally give us free breakfasts, which were good. But, it was a strange experience.

Historic hotel in downtown

We stayed in Sentinel for one night. It is in a convenient location in downtown, but the noise from street cars is loud late at night. The hotel is historic and has 2 buildings. We stayed in the Executive King room so we do not know how big other rooms are, but our room was average size and the bathroom was very small. There was only a pedestal sink. There is no room to put anything there except toothbrushes and paste. It has a tub with a shower over tub too short for tall people. The hotel is eco-friendly in the sense of shampoo, lotion, conditioner dispensers, but for a luxury hotel the absence of some items in the bathroom is strange. They put one black color wash cloth for make up removal, which is fine, but no make up removal tissues or anything except a soap bar. The room was very clean, but showed age. There were 2 armchairs with worn out and damaged leather. It was not for a style because 2 identical armchairs, not damaged were in the hallway. They have nice amenities. Coffee, tea, fruit in the morning and free wine tasting in the evening, but the condition of elevators, some doors, windows need to be improved. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Their restaurant Jake's Grill is the place to go.

Just awesome

This hotel is amazing and close to the best value for money anywhere. If you are in Portland, stay here. Park at the facility across the street. The staff is fantastic, bar and restaurants are classic gems, rooms are wonderful and classy, with all the touches of a boutique hotel experience compared to the soulless corporate brands. Love it!

We stayed in the 6th and top floor. On the face of it the room is fine but it was quite dark, the bathroom was tired - the sink taps barely worked at all and the fittings were loose. The balcony was nice but the layout of them meant the weed being smoked in the next room constantly came over and there was permanent noise from an adjacent building’s AC mechanism. Crucially the AC in the room was really really noisy. It couldn’t be turned down so was either on full or off and it was too hot for off. Made sleeping, partic with jet lag really hard and we needed to use earplugs. Bed was really comfortable though. $7 for a bottle of water in the room is ridiculous although there was filtered water in an adjacent room with complimentary snacks Staff were OK. Not particularly friendly at all. Cursory conversations on check in and check out only. Officious barman on the last night out us off having a nightcap as he said there was no room for us to sit. All in all staff didn’t make a great impression, sorry Portland’s downtown has really suffered so the immediate area is not great. Whilst not dangerous it is quite depressing. We stayed at the Governor 30 years ago - have to say this was a disappointing experience

Greathotel, hidden fees though

Booked theough hotels.com,and it resulted in hidden fees upon check-in. That was probably the most frustrating thing. Also, the dial on the bathroom wall is for the jetted tub. Not an obvious kinda deal.
