10/10 Exceptional
The Clyde far exceeded my expectations! First trip to Portland so I wanted to be in the city near good restaurants, shops, attractions and mass transit and the Clyde's location delivered all that and more. The Clyde itself is right in the middle of the city which made it convenient to travel to other locations.
Let me tell you that Kasa knows how to treat their guests! From the easy, clear instructions to check in to the helpful front desk gals (thanks Keely!), which were staffed 8AM-8PM when I stayed there, Kasa knows how to make you feel good about your stay. The hotel is in an older building but the way they've decorated it made the place feel so homey! The lobby has a large seating area for lounging or hanging out. There's a coffee shop next door that serves good (not great) coffee and an assortment of pastries and burritos. There's even a cabinet that they've left for guests to grab things like toiletries, extra towels or coffee.
The room itself with a private bath is wonderful! It's large enough that they included beverage refrigerator, a couch (though dated it was comfortable), coffee table, a record player, small desk, sink, toilet and shower/tub. It's an older building but they made the most of the space. My bed was super comfortable, the hot water was great and the TV with Dish helped me unwind at night.
It can get noisy when stupid people are revving their cars at 1AM on a Saturday but Kasa thought of this and provide you with earplugs and a white noise machine. Lots of outlets everywhere and the coffee pods they provide are excellent. The towels are plentiful and the provided shampoo/conditioner/shower gel/lotion are helpful if you need them. Fortunately I had somewhat quiet neighbors (except once when a dog was left by itself for half an hour and barked the whole time).
You'll get 2 wooden coins (worth $5 each) that you can use at the coffee shop attached to it.
Overall, I had a great time in Portland and staying at The Clyde was part of the reason. If I come back to Portland, I'll be sure to stay here again.
