For couples and adult groups, beautiful nostalgic interior building and the atmosphere of the 40s-60s. Wonderful hospitality and clean roooms. read more

Stayed at Hotel deLuxe during our ~5 days in Portland. The aesthetic throughout is old/classic 1920s Hollywood. Hotel is quite old & has history in Portland (built in 1912 and used to be called Hotel Mallory). Their standard room is small & quaint, but all that we really needed for our stay. The bed & pillows were a bit too soft for our preference, but we made do. A resort fee is included, and so we got slippers from housekeeping and would go down for water in the lobby & coffee some mornings. Hotel guests get 15% off at Gracie's (breakfast) and Driftwood Room (the bar), just have to mention your room. We only went to the bar one evening. Parking lot is directly across the street from the hotel. It's $40/night, but we were able to get a slight discount from our booking which was nice. The parking lot is quite safe as they lock the side doors after 6:30pm and they have a security guard. Overnight after 10pm it is gated, and we returned a little late one night, and the front desk was able to open the gate for us to drive our car in. (I'm not sure if this available all night, but we arrived back just before 11pm and I know they have a sign for Driftwood Bar as well, and that closes at 11pm so if anyone happens to park there, they need to be able to let them out.) I did feel the hotel was pretty centrally located in downtown if you don't mind walking a little. Generally a very quiet area. read more

I'm so disappointed. I've been going to Hotel deLuxe for years and have written 5 reviews several times... but things have changed dramatically. The greeting was subpar (which was one of my favorite moments of each stay) and then what I experienced in my room was well below the standard I would expect: cracked window, scudge coming down the bathroom drain, stained carpet, a slip cover on the couch because the couch was in such bad shape, etc. I ran into the manager in the elevator and shared what I was experiencing and invited him to see the room. Instead of moving me to a different room, he offered an upgrade for my next visit. Why would I come back. In addition, he shared that the front desk person isn't great at hospitality and she is leaving. This is his hotel... and he threw her under the bus. There were many more moments: Going to get my car only to find the garage door locked. Someone should have let me know to call in advance to have access to my car - I was carrying all my bags and had to walk back to the hotel. And my experience with the bar service and food was subpar. I will not be returning. read more

Home base for 3 nights while I was in town for a friend's wedding. I've been coming to PDX for nearly 9 years now, but this was my first time staying downtown. I've always stayed with a friend who lives outside of town. My stay here was enjoyable. Most notably, the bed was super comfortable and soft. I slept so well. The blackout curtains was a nice touch. The weather didn't permit for early morning activities so I always slept in. I took one star for a couple of reasons. First being that I tried to check in about an hour before the 4pm checkin time thinking it would be accommodated, but alas that was not the case. I checked in my luggage and walked across the bridge and got a much needed caffeinated beverage. I got back under an hour and was finally able to get in my room. The room was clean, but not even 5 mins into me unpacking, housekeeping was at my front door asking if I had found anything in the drawer. There was in fact the previous guest's clothing in 2 of the drawers. So yeah, that was off putting. The second thing is that there was in fact no tea in my room. It would've been nice to have it at night when it was colder. Pros: I appreciated that the bathroom had all the products needed which was perfect since I forgot to bring shampoo. Also not a fan of the daily charge for the amenities. Personally, I think only the guests who use the fitness facilities should be charged said fees. It feels like highway robbery to be charged $29 daily when you don't use the gym. What if I was here a full week? That's bonkers. I got to use the gym the day I checked out. This area was dramatically quieter than the other side of the bridge. That's where the riff raffery was. It always felt so relaxing as soon as I entered the front door. As soon as I got to my room, it was silence. The Providence Park tram stop is just 2 mins away on foot. This means you can take the red line to the airport ins of taking an uber. I made sure to have breakfast at Gracie's and a nightcap at Driftwood, both on the opposite side of reception. read more

The best part of the hotel is the very cool bar with great bartender, cocktails, and food. We stayed here for 4 days and was underwhelmed with room cleaning every 3 days and I had to call multiple times for trash removal. Bed was uncomfortable, clearly dated. Felt like I was sleeping in a hole. Couch was covered with a couch cover that had a hole in it. Duvet cover had a hole in it. Sink had a crack in it. Toilet marble flooring stained around edges. Did not eat at restaurant but it was in fair condition. Could use some reapolsetry on some cushions. Basically this hotel has so much potential but it has been unable to get that facelift to make it perfect. It has gorgeous front door, entry, and dining ceilings. Parking across the street is convenient. read more

A Return Visit That Was Both Disappointing and Delightful I stayed at this hotel seven years ago and absolutely loved it, so I was excited to return to Portland and booked it again without hesitation. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing in some ways. The suite looked tired and in need of refreshing, with a slipcover over the couch, chipped paint, and dirty windows. On a positive note, the room was clean, and the mattress and pillows were comfortable. The staff was also very accommodating. A special shout-out to Mila, the bartender in the Driftwood Room! She was excellent, and the music she played perfectly matched the bar's atmosphere. She made the experience that much more enjoyable. The restaurant, Gracie's, deserves five stars for the chef alone! The Eggs Benedict was the best I have ever had. If you plan to dine there, make reservations! I called the front desk and was connected to the restaurant, only to be told they were fully booked for Sunday and could not take any more reservations. When I explained that I was a hotel guest, I was still turned away. I decided to walk over to the restaurant myself, and they gave me a reservation without a problem. I was surprised because there were so many empty tables. I am not sure why I was told they were full, but the experience was frustrating and could have been handled better. We also ordered focaccia bread as an appetizer in the Driftwood Room, with food coming from Gracie's across the way, and it was excellent! Being from San Francisco, we consider ourselves foodies, and the food was definitely a highlight of our stay. Overall, this hotel still has some wonderful qualities, especially its accommodating staff, the Driftwood Room, and the outstanding food at Gracie's. However, the suites could use some attention and updating. I wish my return visit had lived up to the wonderful experience I remembered from seven years ago. I sincerely hope management reads this review and takes the necessary steps to improve the hotel's overall condition. This property has so much potential, and with some much-needed attention to the rooms and facilities, it could once again provide the exceptional experience that made me love it in the first place. read more

This hotel touts itself as a Hollywood star luxury hotel however it's more of an amateur high school theater experience... For $300 a night you get dirty rooms, stained carpets, peeling furniture, mystery splatter on window coverings, upcharges galore, and homeless druggies outside. This hotel charges a mandatory $30 per night "amenity fee" for two tea bags in the room, an iron, and a half-assed attempt at a gym. The parking is $40 per night in a garage that closes at 10, so if you want to go out later - you won't be able to leave or get back in. The gym is a joke - it's the size of a studio apartment with three machines - a treadmill, bike and a pulley based weight trainer. The room was disgusting - mystery stains on the carpet, couch with peeling pleather covered in a cheap green slip cover, flickering fluorescent lights, mystery spray stains on curtains, cracked walls, slow shower, and no daily cleaning. We were told that a two night minimum was required however when we checked in and asked where the $30 two bags of tea were we were told that most people only stay one night so they don't refill the tea. Oh and to make the tea - they charge $7 per bottle of water. Stay away from this place. You would have a better experience staying at an extended stay hotel or a Motel 6. The lobby is pretty but that's where the positives end. Will never return. read more

Booked two nights online for $299.34 with taxes and fees, but was charged $371 when I checked in. That's a pretty frustrating and misleading price difference. The room itself was pretty run down. There was a fitted sheet thrown over the couch to cover tears in the leather, and plaster was chipping off the ceiling. They also don't provide daily housekeeping, which is worth knowing ahead of time. The parking situation was another issue. They never mentioned that the secured parking closes at 7 p.m., so if you leave and come back later, you're stuck looking for street parking. Fortunately, they did agree to refund the $40 parking fee for one night. Overall, not a great experience. Between the billing issue and the condition of the room, I expected more. For almost $200 a night, there are better hotels in Portland. I won't be staying here again. read more

Service at this hotel is a joke. - Room not cleaned despite two requests. Yes to have to request a clean at this 4 star hotel! - Front desk are very unhelpful as other reviews have said. I complained about several issues (im genuinely not a complainer) and no one said sorry. I Still haven't responded to my complaint from the manager two days later. The hotel is nice. Bar is great. Bar staff are great. Location is pretty good. But staying here just irritated me. They didn't do anything right. read more

Nice hotel with easy access to downtown places! We parked on the street (garage is $40 a night) and had no issues. Lots of parking and felt safe walking around, even at night. Great location! read more

Oh boy. This is gonna be a fun review. I don't think my standards are particularly high even with the amount of hotels I've stayed in and restaurants I've been to. Honestly, a lot of the stuff I've seen in other negative reviews, I don't care that much. Like, some of the reviews point out small cracks in the wall, stains on the carpet or even that the lamps flicker once in a while. But well, this building is really old. Some people stay here partly because they like the blast to the past. If there isn't some minor cosmetic defects, how can you even feel that the building is old? So I can excuse that. The view out of my window is the extremely dirty and moldy looking side of the next building. But I don't particularly care. I can excuse that. I could point out that I stayed in a Japanese hotel not long ago for $65 a night, and room service gave me free bottles of water every day. Hotel deLuxe charges me "resort fees" but threatens to charge me another seven dollars if I open the water in my room. But it is a larger size and nicer brand, and the cost of living is different. I can excuse that. Or how about the fact that this hotel no longer offers valet parking, but I still have to pay forty dollars a day to park when I'm already staying at the hotel? What's funnier is the parking lot right in front is parking for Gracie's. While Gracie's is inside the hotel, it's technically a separate business and would not agree to be more generous about their lot. As a result, if Gracie's is not open, you have to pay $40 to park there also. Gracie's is only open during weekend brunch. Plus, there's been vandalism here in the past so no one chooses to park in that open lot instead of the parking garage that has an actual security guard. The result is that there is a large parking lot right in front of the hotel that's always empty, but you still have to pay forty dollars a day to park. The situation is beyond ridiculous, but I'm not sure what the hotel should do. I can excuse even that. Here's what I can't excuse. My mom came out of her room after two minutes to say that the sink doesn't drain. The hotel had other vacant rooms on the same floor, but instead of letting her move to another room right away, they made us WAIT for their technician to inspect the room for an hour. Is this supposed to be a "four star" hotel? Aside from how rude this is to a customer at an allegedly "nice" hotel, how do you not know that a sink is clogged until after a customer checks in and reports it to you? But wait, there's more. The drain in my shower also drained slow. It drains slightly slower than water coming out of the shower head, so by the end of my shower there's like an inch of water at my feet. Room 429. Another revealing item was the girl at the counter said about her new room, "If the phone in your new room doesn't work, you can come down and ask for me." In other words, management already knows that some of the phones are broken, but they no longer have the motivation or ability to fix them in a timely manner. The next day, my mom revealed that, no, the phone in her room does not work. Between those, we're already talking about problems in three separate rooms. Should I point out that this place doesn't even service your room by default? You have to explicitly ask the lobby for your room to even be cleaned a little bit, which begs the question of why they still have the stupid service signs on the door handle that you can flip over. After all, that means they apparently do **** all, right? As an experiment, I hanged the sign with "Lights, Camera, Action" on the door and left a $20 bill under the notepad. I even wrote "tip" and drew an arrow to the bill on the notepad. Two days in a row, I was gone for most of the day and came back to see the $20 tip sitting in the same spot. I saw one employee on my floor once, and it kinda looked like he was just standing there, like he's bored. Like his job is to provide room service, but he can't do anything until someone moves out or asks for cleaning. Now that I think about it, why even have the notepad then? To me, the primary purpose of that is for room service and customers to talk to each other. You literally have no situational awareness to talk to your customers. Like either your employees don't even walk through the hotel once a day or they've been ordered to ignore the signs for room service. But you still keep those signs in every room.....because.....? And this place charges a resort fee? Service fees? You took a $200 deposit? For what? This is a joke lmao. You can't even afford to put a toothbrush in the bathroom. To be clear, all the employees were super sweet and helpful. I don't blame any of them. I blame the owner/management. The only thing I like about this place is the Driftwood Room. The vibes in there are immaculate. I highly recommend getting a drink there. I cannot in good conscience recommend staying at this hotel. read more

I've stayed at the Hotel Deluxe a few times now and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. Check-in is so easy it almost feels suspicious. No drama, no confusion, just keys in hand and off you go. The building itself has that great old Portland movie-era charm. It feels like the kind of place where a film star from the 1940s might walk around the corner at any moment looking for a martini. Instead it's usually just me looking for the elevator, but still... the vibe is excellent. Parking is on the next block over and surprisingly easy, which in Portland counts as a minor miracle. I've spent more time looking for parking at grocery stores. Now let's talk about the Driftwood Bar. Do not skip it. Curt the bartender is the kind of guy who makes you want to cancel your plans and just sit there all evening solving the world's problems over a well-made drink. Friendly, funny, and he actually knows how to make a proper cocktail. I wish I had more time to just saddle up to the bar and chat with him. Breakfast at Gracie's was also great. Our waitress Erin took care of us Wednesday morning when the place was mostly empty. Service was friendly, the food looked like someone actually cared when they put it on the plate, and the prices were totally reasonable. No $38 "artisanal avocado toast with existential despair." Just good breakfast done right. So what more do you want? Comfortable clean bed, reasonable prices, great bar, solid breakfast, and you're right in the heart of Portland. If you're staying in the city and want a hotel with character instead of a bland corporate sleep box, Hotel Deluxe is the move. I'll definitely be back... read more

Found this place by chance and ended up having a great stay! Was looking for something a little less "downtown". Hotel deLuxe has tons of character, clean rooms and comfy beds at a great price. Check out the bar and the dining room (on the weekends)! would definitely stay here again! Staff was also top notch! A great value! read more

Stayed here for a company holiday party. Immediately upon entering the hotel I was greeted with friendly, smiling staff. Checking in was quick and they were very helpful in recommending certain nearby venues. My room was clean. The king bed was comfy and the sheets soft. The bathroom has seen better days, but it was still clean and the shower had good water pressure. Overall, great experience and I would definitely stay here again. read more

Do not waste your money. Really disappointed in the cleanliness of this establishment. The location was the only good thing about it. We walked in and took two steps into the room before seeing stains ALL OVER the carpet, it was so dirty that we had to leave our shoes on the entire time. The bathroom wasn't cleaned, there was a pink ring around the tub, the surfaces were dirty. If we were using the room for more than sleeping, we would not have stayed here. We didn't trust the cleaning staff to come in when we weren't here, so we left the DND on our door the entire time. Our keys stopped working to our room every time we left and went to re-enter, so we'd get up to the 5th floor walk to our room and have to go back down to have them reset our keys. We will be back to Portland, but will never stay here again. read more

Peeling paint in the rooms rooms with windows that are a jarred with loud noises I can hear my neighbor toot and cough though the bar and the restaurants are amazing. Parking is pricey 40.00 a day. Had to ask for clean towels, room was not cleaned between days, and no coffee cups in room to make coffee. read more

Hotel deLuxe - Hotel lobby - Hotels Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is a review from Mid-October 2023 - I have stayed in this outwardly beautiful hotel twice. Once, when it was the charmingly outdated Mallory Hotel way back in the day and then as Hotel Deluxe in March 2024. First off, I am going to say if you have any physical limitations, skip this hotel. It is older, and there are no ramps to the main lobby, and the parking lot has a permanently broken elevator. There is an "elevator" to the main lobby, but only if someone happens to be running it at the time. I was sick with death flu, AND I suffer from an autoimmune disorder that makes me ache all the time. So I struggled a lot trying to get to and from the hotel, traveling by myself. The staff had real 'tude and really didn't want to put forth any extra effort whatsoever. Getting someone to help get my bags down to the street required an Act of Congress. They also need to be taught basic phone skills. This is not a cheapy place, so I'm not sure why that's happening. Finally, once I stepped outside, I immediately felt unsafe. Especially going to the parking garage. I heard homeless people fighting non-stop, and I swear I heard a man being stabbed as I dragged my suitcase up to the fourth floor of the garage. There's an encampment only about a block and a half away. Honestly, I don't think my room had been vacuumed or really cleaned. There was trash on the floor and peeling paint, and I second the comment from another Yelper about having to go to the CVS to buy cleaning supplies to clean off the sticky headboard. (see included photos) But the real crime here is what happened to the Driftwood Room, which was as close to a Mad Men bar as you could get just ten years ago. It's reverted back to the barfly bar that it was in the Mallory Hotel, but without any of that divey charm. No snazzy bartenders with a gift for banter and suggestions. It's nearly pitch black in there now - no dramatic lighting like before. Probably to hide how it's not been kept up. Now, the only people there are a bunch of uninteresting sad sacks drowning their sorrows. It's like a local corner dive bar. It's no longer a destination. So, do I like anything about the Hotel Deluxe? The lobby is glorious and very photo-worthy. Also, there is all of the art and old Hollywood photos in your room, in the hallways, and everywhere. I looked at as many as I could. I also loved the enormous old-fashioned bathtub, which I took full advantage of. I wish new management would take it over. I saw it in its prime, a year after opening, and I can't unsee that. But perhaps things have gotten better? But I've read some recent reviews, and it doesn't sound like things have changed enough. read more

The actual visit to the hotel was fine. The front desk was helpful. The room was okay. The view was great. The parking situation was inconvenient, but fine. After my stay, I had left my hairdryer in the room. The next day I called hoping they would be able to ship it to me. Cat (Kat?) answered the phone and said she found it. I know she found it because she also asked if I had left a brush, which I did. She said she could ship it, but just needed me to pay for shipping first, asked for my email, and said she would send an email to handle that. I never received an email. After a few days, I asked my mom, who is local, if she could just go down and pick it up since I was heading out of the country for a week. She went down to the hotel, but was told they didn't have it. Not only that but there were no notes in the system about it either. Zero information about my previous call or that they were waiting for payment to ship it. So I again called and got Thomas who searched everywhere and couldn't find it any longer. I asked for a manager to call me, this was 2 days ago. Still no call. I can only assume at this point that an employee stole my expensive hair dryer, which is why there were no notes about it and I never received any emails. I'd avoid this hotel in the future. Update 4/30/2026: Since posting this review, the situation has gotten significantly worse. On April 13, I received an automated text from ILeftMyStuff, the hotel's own lost and found system, confirming my hair dryer and brush were found and logged on March 1. I paid for return shipping through their system that same day and never received my items. On April 19 I called and spoke with a staff member named Claudia who confirmed the hotel had my items and would ship them. She later walked that back, saying she had only assumed they were there because they appeared on an internal list. I had previously requested a manager call me back. That call never came. Today the hotel is claiming the items were disposed of on April 1. This is the same staff member, Cat, who originally found my items and confirmed she had them. When my mother went to the hotel in person and when I called, we were both told they had no record of the items whatsoever. They did not notify me before disposing of them despite having my contact information on file from my original call. Note that my original review was posted last month, before April 1 when they supposedly "disposed" of my items. read more

This is a cute little hotel. My mom who loves old movies loved the special touches. It was a pleasant surprise for her. Our room was very roomy and had everything we needed. It was clean and the beds were decently comfortable. The only drawbacks were the size of the bathroom and the restaurant not being open. It was very narrow and I felt like I was in the tub while going to the bathroom. The restaurant wasn't open during the week so we had to venture out and I was supposed to be resting. That said, we really enjoyed our stay. They also offer discounts for people who are in town for ORM across the street which we appreciated. It was a convenient location and the staff were very friendly. read more

The room was cozy and comfortable and we were lucky enough to be able to check in almost three hours earlier than the original reservation (thank you, CeCe!). We were able to sleep really well each night and I think it's the first time I've felt genuinely rested in months. Big fan of the coffee in the morning and the swanky lobby- we spent a lot of time just sitting and enjoying the ambiance. Only complaints are the bathroom doorknob fell off the first time we used it, (maintenance immediately addressed that!!) and I do wish housekeeping had come during our stay. (There's just something about fresh, fluffy bedding when you're on a vacation!) Everyone was so kind and we felt so taken care of. I miss it already! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! A motel 6 would have been better... even a hostel lol I just can't with how terrible it was. The hotel room had glazed windows. So no view at all We were next to some machine room and 24/7 in the room. Whirrrr brrrrr whirrr. Machine sounds. Constant all night loud af too. Like airplanes taking off loud! Mold in the bathroom on the ceilings and walls, The beds were so hard and the pillows were pancakes! The furniture had rips and holes in it! The carpets were stained Just the worst hotel experience of my life! Oh also upon check in. Apparently they double charged. This was on 5/30. It is now 6/8 and both charges held hostage as pending still! Over 1100$ Apparently this happened to 3 other people at check in! The ONLy redeeming quality was the amazing staff! Thank you Lyle and Ken. The night staff for being so awesome and amazing! The day staff Kat and Madison were also amazing and so helpful! Just be warned tho. This hotel is a rip off and most uncomfortable unclean accommodations you will ever have! As well as the constant loud machines all day and all night. You will not get sleep! read more

The grounds were okay but the entire staff I encountered was unpleasant. I was lied to at check-in that I had a daily credit to use at the bar & restaurant BUT I was still billed the full amount (this was a lie on top of this charged being built into the resort fee as the front desk told me) Upon checkout I also asked for a receipt and I was told I would get it in an email. I called for the receipt twice and finally got it out of them, where I saw more charges. Not great for a 4 star hotel. Wont be back. The $408 stay I paid for came out to $600 after more taxes and fees for their ridiculous charges. Also had to go to CVS to wipe off the nasty, peeling headboard. Not what I want to do during vacation read more

The hotel was in a great location but our room was not so great. We had two other couples with us staying in other rooms on the same floor. None of our rooms had hot running water. Our room specifically had a broken shower handle and no fan in the bathroom. When we asked about a potential discount for the inconvenience we were denied. $40 a night for an empty parking garage is also a bit steep. read more

We're Portland locals and have been enjoying the Driftwood Room for many, many years. Decided to take advantage of the year-end discount special on a suite and stayed overnight in the hotel. Overall it was really a positive experience. Excellent customer service from all the staff. The suite was roomy, comfortable and clean. But the furniture is clearly used and dated, and the carpet absolutely needs to be replaced. The Driftwood is still cozy and lovely. But we sure wish they'd revamp their happy hour menu, which doesn't currently offer anything very appetizing. Breakfast at Gracie's was nice although a bit pricey for the offerings. We did park overnight in the garage and did not have any issues. But we always make sure that our car is completely empty, without anything visible inside, and securely locked. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and we will visit again. read more

SERVICE & CHECKIN Cordial & Fast checkin. No tap pay More Dreadful resort fees ($28/night); overpriced for the value, on top of already steep prices. The Bidwell hotel charges a similar fee, but unlike them, this fee is devoid of any additional utility. It's not being used to provide a premium internet baseline either. Early checkin was free. LOBBY, ELEVATOR, CORRIDORS Impressive & immersive experience entering the building. The lobby was beautiful. Ornate, with a sophisticated & exciting vibe-- even more Lavish than the Paramount! The aesthetic throughout the corridors was also lustrous. Nice design details & a heavenly aroma too. ROOM https://youtu.be/A7LlqUnW6o4 A bold, unique, & charming color palette. It has the potential to be overwhelming, but I enjoyed this break from the usual beige-brown hotel spectrum. While my early impression was favorable, the electrical turned out to be a nightmare. It took an effort to find working outlets; lamps were Damaged (couldn't turn off the one in video); bulbs & phone flicker wildly, with or without being touched; high-pitched whines from different equipment. All the visual & audio cues are present for an oversubscribed power system being neglected. Not safe. BED "Upper echelon" feels appropriate for the composition...: Inspiring texture & patterned headboard. Supportive, fluffy, & lengthy feather down pillows. 80/20 blend linens for cloud-soft sheets. And a Simmons beauty Rest Black mattress w/the plush topper. A high quality setup & easily the best pillow+headboard combination this year. BATH Needs maintenance... The tub was heavily chipped & without slip resistant map/surface. Uncomfortable & not safe. TV & ENTERTAINMENT 2 huge 55" LG TVs w/basic programming & chrome cast streaming. unmounted setup so ports are easy to access + you have access to all gestures via the OEM remote. WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION sigh. Unencrypted, bare minimum on throughput, & slow to connect .

Small mini fridge but these aren't maintained well so you may have to defrost it yourself like I did. NOISE Quiet floors but there was city construction within earshot on my first day. Electrician appliances produced a high pitch noise. VERDICT Some parts of the experience were impressive but its overpriced & felt unsafe due to the electrical infrastructure + shower condition. Not the kind of conditions you'd expect to be charged for. No plans to return or recommend this property in the current condition. 2/5 read more

Overall, the hotel is nice. Just a few blocks up you'll find the city center with so many coffee shops, places to eat, and shops, plus public transportation is close by as well. Hotel lobby is beautiful, with coffee, tea, and water available all day. We paid for a room upgrade, and the room itself was very nice, but some of the furniture needs updating. We did find a hair band in the shower when we pulled the shower curtain, and the bench at the end of the bed was pretty stained. The couch had this cover on it that looked like a sheet, so not sure what was being covered, because from the pictures I've seen, none of the couches in other rooms are covered. The dresser door where the mini fridge was located was broken. We did not have a car, but I did overhear guests complain about the parking situation. Apparently the the hotel has a garage up the street and they charge $40 for parking, even though I did see the Gracies (the restaurant in the hotel) parking lot across the street was practically empty the 4 days we stayed here, but you cannot park there as a hotel guest. Overall, it was pretty clean, safe, and quiet. read more

I loved this hotel at one time, but sadly, I feel that it has started to suffer some from neglect. Stayed here for Valentine's Day, as an overnight getaway (Plus, we had symphony tickets). My travel partner booked the hotel initially on Expedia, but decided to book via the hotel, so as to add on a package to the deal. By booking through the hotel, they added an additional almost $75 to the cost, before the additional taxes and charges. While the package that added a bottle of champagne and a late check out was lovely, the champagne was a cheap bottle of $5.99 American bubbly and two tiny chocolates, that I'm sure my travel companion paid about $80 for. We mainly wanted the later checkout, as we were going to be out later and didn't want to rush leaving early. The heating didn't work in our room, and we were freezing all night (I personally would have called the front desk, but my partner didn't want to bother anyone, as it was super late and we were tired). We also didn't have extra blankets in the room, so we used the robes in the closet. They did wave the amenities fee for the inconvenience of the heating system. The bathroom was especially cold! There is no additional fan or heating source. I think the window was not properly sealed and cold air came blowing through. Our bathtub was chipped and the water came out brown when we turned it on. The Driftwood Bar still has an amazing happy hour, but it also is not as super as it once was (but I blame that more on the economy than the hotel). I had the Death in the Afternoon Champagne Cocktail (If you didn't know, this is one of only a handful of places to find absinthe) and my partner had the Manhattan sampler. I will stay here again, simply because it is so central to the symphony and max line, but sadly the hotel has a lost a little of its glamour. read more

We came to Portland to attend the PR7s All-Stars vs USA Rugby event at Providence Park and wanted to stay as close as we could, and needed a place that had EV charging, so we decided on the Hotel deLuxe. It was about a 5 minute walk to the stadium, and they had level 1 chargers so win-win for us. When we got there, we walked up the stairs and were promptly greeted. We received our room keys, and told how to get into the garage and where the EV charger were. At this point, I decided to look around and took in the scenery. I felt like we were transported back to a different era. It was very well done. We took the elevator up to our floor and proceeded to our room. It was spacious and comfortable, but couldn't stay long since we had dinner reservations. Skipping to later that night, we decided to go to the Driftwood Room for a nightcap, and were wowed by the dark but comforting interior resonating with other patrons enjoying themselves throughout the bar. We wish we could've stayed longer. We'll definitely be back. read more

Whoa. We're blown away at the catfishing going on at Hotel deLuxe these days. The lobby is beautiful and we love The Driftwood Room lobby bar, but we decided to get a room tonight and could not be more disappointed. The room is in tatters. When I talked to the front desk, they told me they were sorry but that ALL OF THEIR ROOMS LOOKED THAT WAY and there was nothing they could do to rectify the situation. I'm not above staying at a divey motel when that's what I'm getting myself into. But when I pay to stay at a supposedly nice hotel with a fancy lobby for my birthday. I expect SOME level of luxury... hell, even cleanliness... anything to make the night feel special would have been appreciated. So. If staying in Portland. Please know there are many better options in this price range. This is the worst of the "nice" Portland hotels I've experienced. read more

I had to live at the hotel for several weeks and I cannot recommend this place enough. Everyone from the bar to the restaurant and front desk was amazing. They made me feel welcomed and like I had a home while I didn't. I will miss everyone. If you are smart you will stay here! Awesome food, rooms and the service. Just wow! read more

This is my favorite hotel in the city, by far! In a city going to ruin, this is a luxurious escape and takes you back in time. We saw the Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall in Key Largo on their rooftop during their old Hollywood movie summer series. That was soo fun! They even had beer and wine for sale up top and those really nice trailer bathrooms at the street level (the movie played on their parking garage across the street) Brunch at Gracie's is not only delicious but a very fancy place for us girls to get dolled up and go when we want to spoil ourselves. Usually we go full glam. It's where you would picture the Gabor sisters going for a champagne or dinner. The Driftwood Lounge reminds me of somewhere the Rat Pack would hang out. It's dark and mysterious and has that old Vegas vibe. You can almost smell Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin & Sammy Davis, Jr's cigars (but you don't because it is smoke free). They make very good Old Fashioned's and have a great happy hour. Covid may have taken that away for awhile - so you may want to call first to make sure they've been allowed to bring it back. I also love to take our glam photos in their lobby. They have a wall with a video screen (framed in mirrored glass like art) that displays old Hollywood movie scenes of famous couples. Their rooms are glamorous. My friend rented one for her birthday and we had champagne upstairs before we all went to dinner at Gracie's. They even have a Marlene Dietrich suite! If you have special occasion coming up or just want an excuse to get really glammed up - Hotel deLuxe is where you want to go. The photos are of some of Hollywood's most famous movie scenes/couples, displayed in their lobby. Gorgeous, right?? read more

They claim to be pet friendly BUT the charge a $65 pet fee. Also, a $40 parking fee. The most I have ever paid at any other motel for a pet fee was $20. read more

Hidden fees and dusty unmaintained room. This hotel advertised itself as downtown Portland near everything...it was neat NOTHING. Charged us a $65 amenities fee when there were none. Rooms only get refreshed every three days. Our room was dusty and the refrigerator didn't work. Called the front desk and he said he'd have one sent the next day and he didn't. Just disappointing and even more so when I opened my credit card bill to a charge that no one told me I was going to be charged. They should have paid us for dusting the room and cleaning up after ourselves. If we have known about those hidden fees I would have stayed at an air bnb. read more

Found this place by Googling "hotels near the Pittock Mansion" and were pleasantly surprised. We LOVED the historic vibe and the amazing Old Hollywood Glam theme. If I had more time I would've toured every floor to see all the pix...but the huge main pic in the lobby changes often = fun! The rooms are small because it's historical...but ours was lovely, clean, and functional. I was charmed by how the fridge and the safe were built into the bureau = how clever! Bed was super comfy. Little soaps smelled amazing! (Cedar wood cypress; nice touch.) There was no coffee in room, but a lovely selection in the morning lobby, with piped in piano music that was so appropriate and made me actually feel glamorous. The employees Tyler and Cat were over the top fun and helpful, and we enjoyed a DELUXE dinner at Gracie's/a beer from Driftwood, and appreciated their employees Mila and Grace. Steak was fantastic. We got great advice to take a morning walk to check out the Sat morning art market, and it was a real highlight. So enjoyable. We LOVED the dimming lamps, fluffy pillows, TALL shower heads, and great hot water. (From the other reviews, which I didn't see ahead of time, I guess it was recently fixed?) The ONLY concern I had was a warning in the parking garage to "not even leave a stick of gum visible in the car" - which we needed and had no issues. I'd DEFINITELY stay here again! Enjoyable! read more

This place was "ok." The hotel is very "Portland" and eclectic. Room I had was small and old. Stains on the carpet. They have zero on-site parking and you have to park in a garage one block over which will run you an additional $40 bucks, and if you have a vehicle larger than a Prius, good luck. Not the safest of locations as there seems to be a lot of homeless people everywhere, so if you plan on walking the streets I'd recommend pairing up with another person. read more

I have stayed here a number of times; by myself, with my husband and once with my mom. Always have received excellent service. A very attentive staff. The rooms are small but very comfortable. It might be my favorite place to stay because of it's unusual but very walkable location. The decor is lush but approachable, and fun. The other added bonus is the Driftwood Lounge tucked into the corner of the lobby. It takes classic lounge to another level; dark, moody, sexy and way cool. I have yet to eat in the dinning room but it looks gorgeous. read more

Last weekend I stayed here for two nights, first night was good, second night we found a bed bug on our blanket at like 11pm (room 706). I appreciate the staff for helping us change the room into an upgraded suite in a different part of the hotel but I also couldn't really enjoy it as never dealing with bed bugs before I spent the whole rest of the night obsessively searching on my phone for what to do. So We were blow drying everything we brought one by one and left early the next day to go to a laundromat:( Next day we checked out they asked how was our say and we said "it was okay:/" and they gave free parking for the second night, didn't charge us our amenity fee, and $50 off our food bill in the restaurant. Okay now that I got home I didn't realize all the extra work I had to do to prevent an infestation. I'll attach my email of all the details I sent to the staff to get a refund, because of course everywhere you read they suggest you demand a refund and I'm a non confrontational person but after spending the last week in constant paranoia I felt like DAMN I did not deserve this I talked to the staff member Hannah today (one week since check out) and she said she couldn't do anything about the room rate after it's been closed but she said we got about $170 off in compensation. She also stated the day we checked out an exterminator came and checked the room at 7:30am and the room was cleared and no signs of bed bugs. I really really wish they told me that sooner of the day we checked out because they would have known by then and I would have had so much peace of mind!!! I feel a little better now knowing there wasn't an infestation in the room but I really wish I was followed up with sooner and was notified of those results. Overall staff was nice and the rooms are small and outdated but bed was comfy. Hotel lobby was smaller than expected. Probably would not stay here again. read more

We came here for our 12th anniversary from Kansas, opting to stay in proper hotel over an AirBnB for once. Here's what you need to know: 1. This is a *historic* west coast hotel, so rooms are tiny-tiny and amenities are few by modern standards (and we tend to stay at LaQuintas, so take that as you will.) While very tasteful and elegant, most basement Airbnbs we looked at were bigger than these rooms, so prepare yourself. We were staying here a week in the second-to-top tier room and we still ended up upgrading to the top tier room so we had a place to sit besides the bed. While the biggest room is only about the size of a modern motel room, we were much more comfortable. 2. There are no kitchenettes but you do have tiny private bathrooms, which have lovely historically-inspired chrome hardware. Our big room bathroom had multiple large built-in shelves while our small bathroom had a single small shelf, which wasn't ideal for two people for the length of time we were staying. Maybe bring a 3M removable hook if you need to hang anything anywhere beyond above the toilet, under the sink or on the door. 3. I've never spent time in a hotel bar, but we found ourselves going down to the Driftwood a lot on our trip. It's also quite small and can get loud, but it has chill vintage vibes, friendly young bartenders who make good drinks and a small dinner menu if you just don't feel like going out. The hotel restaurant is pricey but it's also worth a visit at least once; we were very happy with the high quality breakfast we had there and the atmosphere is delightfully old Hollywood. 4. You are a 3 minute walk away from the Max train which meant we never needed a car while we were in town except to drive to the beach. Not needing to park is awesome and highly recommended. 5. There's a donut shop near the train station and plenty of good restaurants within 5-10 min walking distance, including a rad boardgame restaurant called Mox, which is open til midnight. Everyone working the hotel was friendly and our experience was quiet, comfortable, relaxing and unique. Just plan on being a little minimalistic and enjoying the history around you! read more

High Tea for three! It was supposed to be four but you know that one friend who shows up an hour late, if they show up? Thankfully the deLuxe was a lot nicer about it than we were but the deLuxe has some serious class. From start to finish that is what we got which was lovely. I have had high tea served many times over the years. I've had some amazing experiences and some not so great ones. This was right in the middle with highs and lows. Its hard not to feel fancy when you walk into the deLuxe though I will confess than the door guys were off on their game today. They even seemed bothered to TRY and get to the door though they did say hi...ummm thanks! It was just weird going in and out since normally they are very much ON IT. We waited for our delinquent friend and gave up when she was 20 minutes and counting late with no word. Our server was amazing though. The tea itself was not great - I chose the White Yunnan Silver Tip but it just really was not great and had a sore note I was not expecting. I tried to add sugar which I normally do not need but that did not help. The glass of champagne was lovely and had that perfect balance of dry and sweet. And then there were snacks! All of the snacks! Salmon lox and remoulade on rye bread, Ham and grain mustard aioli on white bread, Cucumber and dill aioli on white bread, Cranberry pecan chicken salad on wheat bread, Garden vegetable cream cheese on white bread, plain & lemon-currant scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam, lemon curd tartlets with blueberries, chocolate cups, raspberry thumbprint cookies and Victorian sponge cake. Even with the champagne and the lovely food it really seemed a bit pricey. I get it - you are at the deLuxe but I have actually felt way fancier at other places and received waaaaaaaay more for waaaay less. With that said though I can hardly regret having had the tea experience here and I do recommend it at least once...just chose a different tea. read more
