The Clyde Hotel Portland by Kasa

I would describe this as a hipster hotel with unique character to match the downtown area. My teenage kids did like the room and the adjacent coffee shop. However, I felt the room was a little small, especially the bathroom and the room could use some updating like more amenities like towel racks and storage for suitcases. Our room was not close to being recently remodeled so pictures can be a little deceiving. Bed was comfortable but I could hear people walking around above our room at night. I also struggled with parking found it very stressful trying to find parking, plan to spend around $40 a day on parking a day if you are driving around a lot. The overnight parking which is approx 10-15 minutes away walking distance is not on site and is only $20 a night, but it does not feel safe after 10pm to be walking around due to the homeless problem in the area. I don't think I will be returning to this hotel. I def don't feel like this was a 3 star hotel, I would give it a 2.5 out of 4 or 5 stars. The breakfast was a continental at best. Pastries with juice or coffee and fruit. Sometimes they provided yogurt or boxed oatmeal and oat milk but nothing special and get there before 9 am or there may run out of items. Portland has a lot of fun things to see but because of the homeless problem I would seek out recommendations for the best attractions and stir clear of the problem areas. Washington park and art museum were a lot of fun to visit. Multnomah Falls would be an all day trip and get there very early since parking is terrible or park off site and take tram in. I was also charged an additional fee of $25 a night which was not mentioned anywhere on the trip.com booking receipt.

The room and hotel overall were very clean and cutely decorated. Great use of an older building! Please note, since this was in the Pacific Northwest, there was an air of dampness even in the room but I attribute that to the weather not any falling on the hotel. The white noise machine and room specific temperature control was a bonus!

The room was dirty and still had the last person's trash in it (I hope just the last one!). Texted the front desk line (there isn't anyone at the desk after like 4pm) for a toothbrush and they stated they didn't have any but the security guy downstairs not only got us toothbrushes but also some other amenities from the obvious staff access amenities closet. the neighborhood was great, but the staff was aggressively anti-homeless as if we all weren't closer to them than to whoever their rich owners were. such a weird stay.
