Blind in bedroom was broken in down position so it was always dark in there. You are supposed to download an app that requires “always on” connection to Bluetooth to get in, but someone was available to give us card keys instead. ##### Heather Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria Dec 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Loft was clean, staff was nice. Keep in mind when booking there are no laundry facilities in unit or building, no pool, no front desk, no snack/drink counter or restaurant attached, and no shuttle service from airport. You get a furnished loft with basic toiletries, cooking gear, table/drinkware, and dish tv. There is definitely a sense of "things left to be desired" especially for the pricing. I expected itinerary ideas, restaurant suggestions, etc. But none of that was available or offered. ##### Victoria Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristin Oct 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The space was amazing. Equipped with everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable and the unit was very clean. This was our second stay at the Docents Collection and we will definitely stay here again. There was a very minor inconvenience with the freezer door - it didn't close all the way so all the ice was melted into one blob and we had to go out to get ice. ##### Kristin Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful modern accommodations.

Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic place to stay when visiting Portland. The location can't be beat -- within a couple of blocks to the ferry terminal and Old Town shops and restaurants. The building is next to a police station and my family and I felt very safe. The unit was immaculate, modern, and fully equipped. Onsite parking was a huge bonus, as was the friendly and helpful staff. I would, without hesitation, stay at The Docent's Collection again. ##### Jeremy C.

These are really apartments, not like a hotel. We happily traded the daily cleaning and front-desk services of a traditional hotel for the beautiful space we got here! Despite this being a fully electronic check-in experience, everything was seamless and actually probably faster than in-person check in. The apartment unit itself was spacious and beautiful. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. We loved being able to prepare a couple meals “at home” and the food coop is just a short walk away to grab groceries. Parking was simple and right next door (self-parking, no waiting for valet!), and we were thrilled there was an accessible EV charger. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shamus Dec 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clean, great location and very well stocked kitchen.

Convenient to walk around Portland. It can be confusing to use the FLEXIPASS at first and to make sure you have also signed up for parking if you need it. Next time I would stay close to the water and at a hotel so I have more guest services. The staff was nice when I called to get help but I prefer on-site help. Also, it has a few stairs to get into the apartment building. Overall the building and facility is very clean and nice. ##### Valerie Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JULIE Apr 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful open space.
