Blind Tiger on Danforth was perfect locale for San overnight in Portland. Walkable to Old Port, yet quiet & relaxing place to spend some time quiet in between all of the activities;)

This is a wonderful converted mansion. Knowing that helps set your expectations for something closer to a B&B than a hotel. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. The breakfast was a light buffet so not quite typical in comparison to most B&B’s I’ve stayed at. The room was a fun design and color scheme and well appointed for comfort. It felt a little like we were staying at a friend’s house and told to help ourselves. It’s unique and something we’d would come back for. The area is fine, but nothing special. I would say it felt like an area in transition and the midst of revival. For someone that wants polished, tourist focused neighborhood, this might not be the best fit.

The issues we had were with the room which had a major moisture issue (huge dehumidifier in room) that caused the room to be musty. The parking was not always available and the quality of the in room furniture was like a flea market. Too pricey for the experience. Staff is very nice.

We loved our stay at the Blind Tiger! I stayed with my husband and two kids, 10 and 6. The beautiful spread they put out for breakfast would be enough to win us over but the property is gorgeous, the staff so lovely, and the location super convenient. Highly recommend!

Charles

Not as Advertised
100% disappointing and not as advertised. Public rooms are showy but our room had decrepit bureau with grungy unwiped drawers, Home Depot like closet rod in bedroom not large enough for two people’s clothes, step up to toilet and shower with no rail or dye marker, tiny plastic wastebasket in bath only but not in bedroom, pills spilled on day 1 never vacuumed up, breakfast 2 hours flat- no leeway for international or West Coast time change and no 24 hour desk presence. At $2600. It is a complete fraud and I am asking for review and compensation.
Tiny plastic wastebasket
Cheap closet doors don’t close or latch
No ADA compliance
Step up to toilet, no marker or bar

We loved our 3-night stay at the Blind Tiger. The property is perfectly located within easy walking distance to some of Portland's best restaurants, shops, and activities. As we also had a car with us, the on-site parking was a great bonus. We looked forward to and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful daily breakfast buffet -- everything was delicious and artfully curated, the perfect way to start our mornings. We also took advantage of the stocked bar essentials while enjoying a gin and tonic made with the gin we picked up at Hardshore Distillery. Our room, the "Daymark", was very comfortable-- I believe all the guest rooms are located on the 2nd and third floors, so something to consider regarding accessibility. We'll happily recommend The Blind Tiger to anyone we know heading to Portland.
