Norse Hall Tours and Activities

The hotel is in the worst part of Portland. They have no parking unless you pay an $80 valet fee. This you have to pay since there is no parking in the streets unless you want to risk parking in an area full of junkies and thieves. The Hoxton knows this, hence the ridiculous “valet fee” plus tip! I was able to park my car in a parking garage after a half hour of stress and exhaustion from my trip. Turns out that’s EXACTLY the place they park the valeted cars you pay $80 for!! RIPOFF JOINT

Pros Comfortable bed & pillows, lots of big mirrors, comfortable couch, large room, big TV, big closet. Good free movies. Staff is very nice and helpful. Salt water pool was nice. Although I didn’t take advantage of it, they have a lot of very nice outdoor seating. Cons I’ve never been in a hotel that hasn’t cleaned a room during a five nights stay until now. When I arrived, they asked me if I wanted cleaning daily or every other day, I chose every other day. Although I did put the do not disturb sign on the door on Friday and Saturday, I didn’t expect they would not come at all to clean the room during my stay. Needless to say, I had to call down for clean towels and more coffee for the coffee maker. Lighting in the bathroom is not great. Took a shower late one morning and it went cold. No complementary breakfast. Mid Shower pressure. Hot tub jets are super strong, like wave strong (I still went in twice and liked it).

Great parking service!
