    Coming to Portland for a good time? Like music? Like beer? Want a cool spot that is central to the best parts of the city? A funky old brick hotel within a block of the trains sound good? Want a nice room for well under $100? Want a good menu with tasty lunch and dinner choices? Want great staff taking care of all your needs? Want a nice outdoor beer garden to kick back in? Want a week of great shows for free? Prolly not good if you need to go to bed before midnight.

    If you can deal with this type of "hotel", they do a pretty darn good job. It is much more hostel style, which is not mentioned in the name. The rooms are absolutely tiny.. no room for dancing, but they are clean which is my the most important thing in my book. We got the last room available, which was a full sized bed with no private bathroom (I think all of the rooms are set up like this). There are two bathrooms located down the hall. They were clean, but it was a super weird setup. We were told that this is considered "European style". I tried not to think about it too much, but this building is extremely old and historical. It was most definitely a bit creepy, and many people that we ran into mentioned that it is known to be haunted. This made the experience exciting. Overall, the main reason I give a high rating is the very affordable nightly rate. ($70) we were aching for air conditioning which was my only complaint. in the middle of the night, it had to have been over 80 degrees in our room!

    Sink & towels in the room. Nowhere to place your stuff though. I used a chair.

    I stayed here one night, just a place to crash while I was in town for a show and a it's a McMenamins I had yet to stay at. The old building has been nicely restored, a lot of original woodwork, it looks like. First floor bar and music venue, second floor rooms (shared bath down the hall). Obviously, don't stay here if you need silence to sleep. Outdoor patio with fire pit is great. I can't speak to the bar or food as I did not go to either. Well, when you check in for the hotel you do so AT the bar, which is interesting. I had to wait a strangely long time at the bar to check into my room...I was told by the bartender that the "managers are in a meeting" and I had to wait until that was over. Apparently. But, the hotel is classic McMenamins: funky, old but fixed up well, younger crowd, playful atmosphere. ROOM: Very comfy bed. Almost perfect for one person staying one night. It had a sink and towels and shampoo, etc. (If there had not been I'd not have stayed, but I saw that in advance online). If you can brush your teeth & wash your face it's all good for one night. Earplugs in the bedside drawer (live music downstairs at night). Wall heater. Window. What made it less than perfect is two things: 1. There is nowhere to set your sink stuff (see picture)- no counter space. I moved a chair over next to the sink to use as a counter. 2. The floors were not clean. I'm bringing slippers next time, it was a little uncomfortable. In the morning, in the hotel hall, there is hot coffee sitting out. Nice. BATHROOMS: Bathrooms are down the hall. It was just myself and I knew I would be out late that night, so not having a bathroom in the room was no big deal. That said, they were very clean and I rarely saw anyone there. The showers are in one area and toilets in another. There's more than one of both. The toilets have hand sanitizers. Special needs note: No elevator and rooms are on second floor.

    Its a good deal it just happens to be fairly far away from things. White Eagle is supposedly haunted and it certainly has that rural old, creaky building feel. We had the "Mr. Spaceman" room at it includes a small mirror and sink in the room and a heater. The bed was clean and so was the room. If you've ever been in the old UC dorm rooms then you know about what to expect. Check-in and check-out is with the cashier at the bar. They just have you sign some forms, swipe your card, and then you take your luggage up the stair case outside of the building. Tip: If you're checking in at night, the saloon is rocking so I would recommend having one person with the luggage wait in the lobby while the other person wades through the crowds of people to check in. It's cramped otherwise. PROS: - affordable and probably the lowest rates you'll find out of the McMenamins hotels. - close to Toro Bravo and literally next door to the Widmer Brothers Brewing company (free brewery tours = free beer!) - White Eagle Saloon serves food and drink you can bring up to your room. Or you can spend the evening checking out the local music acts. CONS: - Thin walls. They warn you and apologize for it but its still loud at night given the live music at the saloon. Not unbearable but still noticeable until about 12am. - Dorm-like conditions so you'll be going down the hall for all shared bathroom trips. - Location is fairly distant from downtown Portland. For the price (well under $100/night), it is a fairly nice and clean place that gets the job done. Though, I'd try another McMenamin's hotel next time!

I had provided a local ID via alternative means, including my power bill from Orlando... And a screenshot of a previous ID with the same license number and verified identification. Portland is not like Washington and does not require a scan for every single check-in. They misrepresented themselves and absolutely put me out on the street when I needed housing. This is why they are getting one star from me. I very rarely log into this account, but I am a very important person, and I am also very influential through alts on social media. This is not a reflection on the person who booked the reservation. It is a reflection on the management of the society and I do not retract a single thing.

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...

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.

I am a loyal Marriott Bonvoy member and have stayed at lots of locations over the last few years and I have always had a good experience with the staff. This location has tainted that. I booked for a day earlier than the day I needed (which was my mistake and something I have never done before). Unfortunately I didn't realize this until I went in to check in for the intended day. I asked for the total being charged to my card prior to paying since this was a new reservation and they lied- they quoted the total charge as $157 and billed $192. I called Marriott Bonvoy to see if I could have the no show full charge for the night before waived (I had a flexible rate that was refundable until the night before the booked stay) and was directed to speak with the staff first. The assistant manager told me that the card was charged automatically and that there was nothing he could do on his end but I could place a ticket with Bonvoy. I placed a ticket with customer service and was told I would receive a response in 3-5 business days. I didn't hear back so I called again after a couple of weeks and spoke with a supervisor who was kind and reopened the ticket as it had been closed without responding to me along with the updated information regarding me being charged a different amount than stated. I then received an email from front desk at the hotel basically saying they are denying the refund as I was told during the stay they can't refund it which is a lie- I was told they couldn't refund without me placing a ticket with customer service. I have recommended this location to others in the past based on a previous stay & I will definitely be telling those folks that this location while clean and well appointed is dishonest & I recommend they cancel their reservations. I will be staying elsewhere anytime I am in Portland. I get that the policy states no refunds if not canceled prior to the date of reservation, but I was lied to and billed more than told which could have made a difference in where I chose to stay on the needed day and was treated rather poorly by the assistant manager for a genuine mistake (& the needed day was less expensive than the day paid for initially). Overall, not the way to treat a returning customer.

So when you come in, pass the valet riveters to the left, and take the elevator up. The check-in process was fast, but the elevators took longer than they did. To access the elevators to the room floors, you need a key unless you're going down to the 1st floor or lobby. There's a restaurant on the 15th floor that had a line at the elevator because they wanted to access it without a key, and I think that's what kept the elevator area busy. The rooms are pretty big and spacious, with your usual amenities and mini-bar items. The couch was a good size. However, the TV does not move, so if you are on the couch and watching TV, the angle is sideways. The in-room dining menu is limited, with little selection, and even the restaurant/bar behind the lobby has a limited food menu.

    What a shame to leave a 3 star review when the front desk staff was so friendly and kind…read more Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the restaurant staff, bartenders, anyone the valet. While AMEX travel provided some good perks, it felt like the property itself fell short. From the restaurant bar not letting us taste a sip of wine even though it was served by the glass, to the long wait to get the glass from the bartender after hoping to sit for a full lunch service. Additionally, when returning to the hotel there were no spots in front for valet, so I out in my flashers and waited 5 minutes for someone to come to my car. They then told me to keep circling the block until the front area cleared. I'd say the service all in all was subpar, slow, and the staff was a bit out of touch...with the exception of the very professional & helpful front desk staff.
