Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge Tours and Activities

I really wanted to love Hotel Deluxe in Portland. The building itself has that classic old Hollywood charm. Walking into the lobby felt like the kind of place where Bogie and Bacall might have stayed in the 1940s. The lobby, elevators, bar, and even the hallways are grand and elegant and gave a wonderful first impression. Unfortunately, the room itself felt a bit subpar and dated compared to the rest of the hotel. It was very large, which was nice, and the bed was comfortable, but there were some noticeable issues. The headboard had tears, the picture above the bed was slightly off center, and one of the dresser drawers would not stay closed and kept sliding open. The oversized curtains also would not fully close because they were blocked by the dresser. Heating was also a challenge. There was a small mini split that barely warmed the room unless you were sitting under it on the couch. We asked for extra blankets, which were brought up promptly, but they were stiff and heavily starched. They reminded me of the blankets you see handed out to recruits in old army movies, not ones in a botique hotel.The bathroom was clean, but the water temperature was difficult to manage. It started scalding hot, then turned freezing cold with no middle ground, and once the hot water disappeared it never came back. There was also a noticeable draft in the bathroom. The staff were pleasant and the common areas are truly which made me wish the rooms matched the charm of the rest of the hotel.

No pool. A clean hot tub for individual use. Hot Breakfast very good! Rooms very clean. Entire hotel smells fresh And clean. We loved the bikes and road all over town.

Beds uncomfortable. Pillows too hard. Bathroom glass door kept getting stuck and it was difficult to open to get out. Did appreciate the mini frig and complimentary water bottles. Also, staff delivering a microwave when the front desk staff couldn't explain how to use the microwave in the front lobby.
