Very clean, very comfortable, and quite beautiful. It made us want to sit around and drink whiskey and write flowery prose. We arrived late, at 7:15, and Tito from the front desk took our large bags and ran them up the stairs as if they were nothing. "I went to the gym today," he said. Although the house was built in the late 1800s, it had all the amenities of the 21st century - WIFI, Nest thermometer, and a good shower. Oh, and at one point, the house was a funeral home. What could be cooler than that? ##### Elise Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica Jul 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had a quick one night stay at The Francis and am so glad we landed there for our only night in Portland.
