8/10 Very good
Great Hotel in a Fantastic Location
This was our first time staying in an Ace Hotel and the Portland location was fantastic! We had a private 2-bed room, and while not the largest hotel room, it was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we had all we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. While other reviews comment on the need for earplugs, we didn't notice anything out of the ordinary sound-wise, but that could have been because we had a private room on the 3rd floor.
Breakfast was simple, but of much higher quality than most continental breakfasts out there, and there were a fair number of vegan options available for the two members of our party who have vegetarian and non-dairy requirements. If we weren't satisfied with the options, the Stumptown cafe attached to the lobby had great coffee, and there were a number of breakfast options nearby.
If you're looking for an affordable hotel that still has a lot of charm and is right in the heart of downtown Portland, this is the place to stay!
