I have been staying at the Paramount Hotel for business trips. They are only two blocks from Nordstroms and across the street from the Fox Tower. I travel a lot and the rewards program is great! I get my Alaska points for everything I purchase at the hotel! Plus, they have everything ready for me at check in! If you are traveling to Downtown Portland, this is the place to stay! Pros: Example: best croissants in town Cons: What are the drawbacks?

We stayed here the night after our wedding, it was within walking distance from our wedding site. The rooms were beautiful and the jacuzzi tub was so good after a long day. The room service was good and the staff was professional and courteous!

Biggest, dullest boutique hotel rooms in town. Creepy big and boring dull. If sheer square footage is your goal, this is your hotel - otherwise, keep shopping.

When we got to the hotel, they did not provide us with the suite we requested. After making the change, we noticed that there was no significant difference between the two rooms besides the style of bath tub. This was disappointing. The rooms were very small and rather uncomfortable. The bathrooms even felt a little dirty. They did have great restaurants located on the main level of the hotel, but as for the hotel, we had no desire to hang out in our room. We would not stay there again.

My husband and I stayed at the Paramount last weekend for our anniversary and had a fabulous time. We booked the "Romance in the City of Roses" package and loved it. There were lots of cute little gifts placed around the room when we arrived: roses, chocolates, special bath salts and lotions, a gift certificate for breakfast, etc. A few minutes after we settled in, the front desk called to make sure that everything was okay and asked if there was anything else we needed. They were very prompt responding to our request to bring up a few robes. Our room had a great outdoor patio, which was a nice touch. The view wasn't great, because we were only on the 2nd floor, but that's my only complaint! We ate dinner in the lounge at Dragonfish downstairs, and it was outstanding. I loved the jetted tub and glass shower in our bathroom, too. I thought that the King-sized bed was fantastic, but my husband complained that it made his back sore. I did notice that our credit card was charged an additional $50, but when I called they were very polite and friendly in explaining it to me. They explained that they charge everyone an additional $50 at check-in, and it gets refunded a day or two after you leave (which it did.) Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we will definitely be back!

The Paramount Hotel is wonderful! I had the best stay while at their hotel. I was in town for a wedding and enjoyed that the hotel was in walking distance to everything...shopping, entertainment and restaurants. The happy hour in Dragonfish was quite tasty, I highly recommend. The bellman and front desk were very helpful in giving us direction and recommendations on where to eat during our stay. The accomodations were great, really liked the glass shower...unexpectant upgrade than most hotels. Next time we are in Portland we will stay again at the hotel!

Ugh...we just stayed at this hotel. First and foremost, check in is at 4pm on weekends and checkout is at noon. The people checking in next to us at 4:30 were told that their room still wasn't ready and it would be 20 more minutes. While they promised a king size bed, they delivered two "queens.". When we asked about this they said these rooms are the same price and therefore equivalent. We booked throught the "big deal" website and our room was supposed to come with free breakfast or 7.50 per person off of breakfast. They only gave us one ticket and we had to ask for the second one. When we picked up our car from valet it reeked of smoke. No individual incident was that big of a deal but altogether, it made us mad that we spent a fair amount of money on a hotel that is seriously lacking in the customer service/attention to detail department. Go to the dragonfish for drinks and sushi, but stay somewhere else!! Pros: location, dragonfish room service Cons: customer service

I love this hotel! They have a great happy hour in the lounge with bargin priced sushi and lively atmosphere. My room had a glass shower and jetted tub which was a nice upgrade from most hotels. This hotel is in walking distance to everything...shopping, restaurants, movie theatre across the street. The bellman and front desk staff were all very helpful and friendly. I felt at home staying at this hotel and look forward to coming back soon! Pros: Ambience, friendly staff, location.

ok, so how does this hotel, part of a giant hotel group called Coast Hotels, which specializes in historic properties, qualify this as a botique hotel? and if this is, what isn't? It's definately not historic, it is not one-of-a-kind and it is made of stucco, think Disney Botique. Pros: location Cons: fake-ness

The rooms are nice enough and the hotel is kept clean. The staff seem to be lacking in the customer service department, unfriendly front desk, and a lazy door man. You will get a 6:30 am wake up call, like it or not from the construction going on directly across the street. Overpriced for what it is. Pros: Hmmm... Cons: Noise across the street, unfriendly staff
