I had a great experience staying at The Royal Sonesta Portland Downtown. The hotel is centrally located, making it super easy to explore the city on foot. Although some elements, like the shower temperature and the need to request microwaves, were a bit quirky, they didn't overshadow my overall enjoyment. I'd definitely return for the spacious rooms and quirky decor!
