Love the Crystal Hotel
Such a great place in an amazing part of Portland. Even cleaner than a year ago. So much to do, see and eat. All within walking distance. And you can't beat Hal's cafe right down the stairs!

Seamless check in, room and shared restroom was clean and tidy, comfortable. Parking is a bit of a challenge and being located downtown, there are some characters out and about outside the hotel. The room is small and it was a bit distracting to hear passion being shared in the room next door, for a better part of the night. Happy for them, love is grand, but it did impact my sleep somewhat.

So this was a great stay, however I got food poisoning so I spent the whole night running up and down the halls to the communal bathrooms. They were hard to find, the hallways are dark and confusing, the labeling is a little tricky, this isn’t the hotels fault, but I ended up having to bring a pillow and blanket to the bathroom and camp out there. Great otherwise

We loved our stay. It’s a fun, quirky spot with warm moody lighting and a lot of unique character. Our room had a shared bathroom, but we never had to wait for bathroom access. Loves the location just around the corner from Powell’s books and Deschutes Brewing

This is an adorable property. Rooms are TINY but very cute and clean. Shared bathrooms, but bathroom was very very clean. There is no parking however, though when we booked with expedia it did say parking with surcharge. There is no parking, you have to find a structure and hope you didn’t forget anything in your car or else you’ll have to trek back for it. Area is cute but not that safe
