Loved the place - the coffee, the staff, the room. But the ear plugs provided really are useful. The hotel is in the center of the current "Entertainment District" and you do hear that :)
Highly recommend for any traveler coming to visit Portland. Centrally located hostel/hotel. The cafe/lounge downstairs is great. Rooms are simply enough. Rooftop is to see all of the city.
Really cool! Their bunkroom has all you need in a respectful and nice enviroment at a good price. Close to the Max and all important places in Portland. Great hostel!
