Bonus: share free parking lot access with Pizza Hut and ample of free street parking. Two gender neutral restrooms. P.Y. No toilet seat covers.

I came to Portland on a Sunday to catch an evening show, then stayed the night in an Airbnb. I…read morechose openHAUS to work out of the next day for several reasons: - it was really close to my Airbnb - there was parking - they sold day passes and made buying one actually easy - it felt really safe when you're in there I was initially concerned when I first got there since the surrounding environment didn't look that welcoming, but once inside it was like a little work oasis. Having lived in several tech hub cities, the co-working spaces I'm used to tend to have a high-tech focus with minimal decor. openHAUS wasn't like that at all but I really appreciated the difference. There's a lot of interesting art dotted throughout and it's got a lived-in feel with many in-progress projects out in the open. There are desks claimed and occupied by the stuff of regulars, but besides that you get your choice of a place to settle for the day. There's clean bathrooms nearby and a kitchen stocked with coffee and tea, and even ramen if you really didn't want to step out for food. I heard there was a dedicated parking lot though it wasn't obvious, but street parking was easy enough. I'm glad I tried this place and would come back. I was able to take calls and attend work meetings just fine out of here, and I was able to pop out for lunch and come back without worrying about my stuff getting touched. Finally, I was also a little surprised that someone came with their dog, a big boxer looking one, but it was generally well behaved and didn't come around again after getting to sniff me in the butt.

Scott delivered above and beyond. The space is beautiful, quiet and set up for work. There is coffee , tea, quiet, but nice music, etc. Will be back!

I like the vibe of the place and the interior design…read more There are some lounge-y working areas and long tables, if you're a general member or day pass goer. Lots of electrical outlets that are intelligently placed on top of the tables, and the wifi was reliable. Kitchen was stocked with the usual coworking amenities. That is, water, coffee, basic tea, and some basic snacks. The day I was there, it was Kind bars and bananas. There are more snacks and drinks in a vending machine in the kitchen and for sale at the reception desk, including gigantic bars of chocolate(!) which are produced by one of the occupants. There's a frig to store things. Some minor issues to note: Tea service is very basic. I only saw one "telephone booth", though it doesn't seem too bad if you have a conversation out in the open area. The space was rather chilly and I had to put on my jacket and scarf. I recommend bringing layers. Lastly, the chairs in the general areas were not adjustable and didn't provide good lumbar support. An example of beauty over function here. I wish the interior designer/manager opted for more ergonomic chairs, as occupants are often there all day long. Overall, this space was great! Bathrooms: Clean and functional, and lovely.

Home to office spaces, a brewery (Upright), the Leftbank Cafe, a shared office space (the Hive) and a communal area, the winding, maze-like structure is home to a colony of progressive workers, projects, and all sorts of stuff. I've been in here quite a few times to meet with folks, I've stopped in to the cafe, and I threw an event in the communal space, and I love the brewery downstairs. While parking can be a bit of an issue when an event is taking place, it's got a great central location and, at least for me, the historic and design-forward remodel aspects are close to my heart.

It's kind of a rabbits warren of small companies connected by large communal spaces and even better natural light flooding in everywhere. The main Lobby/cafe room looking out on the street was interestingly complex but simply informal enough to be comfortable. Went here to check out Upright Brewing (http://www.yelp.com/biz/upright-brewing-portland#hrid:EonPV60YZaVQfVTk-p76Jw) but found myself wandering around the building checking out all the cool spaces.

WeWork is great, so welcoming and a general comfortable space. I love the occasional community gatherings that are optional to participate in and give a great community vibe. It is really bright and clean, I definitely recommend working from here if you can! They also have fun team-building events and events to take a break from work. And, have good food and snacks available. IT was a special treat getting to schedule to go there the same day with my co-worker, and be able to work together collaboratively on different work projects. And, then getting to take a break from work and play ping-pong was also fun! I like the Holliday location, there are some good food cart options and quick options to grab lunch near by.

It has a welcoming, large lobby, and it's well decorated throughout. There are quite a few options for working: Flexible seating so you can sit in any of the shared spaces, a fixed desk (sit/stand adjustable desk with some dividers), or a small to large office locked office space. There are ample phone booths and bookable conference conference rooms. Each member gets access to a high quality color laser printer and the break rooms are stocked with excellent Coffee and Tea. The only challenge is guiding your guests to find the elevator to Lifetime Work. It's at the corner of the parking lot adjacent to SW Barnes & SW Cedar Hills Blvd. Take the elevator to 4th floor to the Lobby.

It's very quiet, and the vibe is great for staying focused and productive. There's direct access to the gym too, which is a huge plus. The staff is always welcoming, and there's an open kitchen where you can help yourself to coffee and water. They do an amazing job keeping this place clean and inviting. The location is great for a co-working space. The only downside is the reception -- the cell signal can be pretty low, so sometimes it's hard to be on the phone. But using Wi-Fi calling has helped me a lot, so that's a good tip if you're planning to work here. Overall, I love coming here to get work done and would definitely recommend it!

The layout is wide-open and kept very clean. The kitchen has fancy coffee, ample dishware, and space to store food brought from home. For coworking, there are tables and seating areas scattered throughout that are open to anyone, desks that are reserved for monthly members, and conference/private rooms along the perimeter available to reserve. Even though both times I visited were quieter than a normal day (e.g. the day before Thanksgiving), I found the atmosphere to be very welcoming. It was also an easy transition to come in as a guest. I arrived and was able to check in within moments and start working. The dedicated staffer Michelle was friendly as well. She showed me around and was readily available for anything that was needed by me or other coworking space members.
