A wonderful place to stay for a downtown Portland getaway! The soaking pool was a great way to cap off each day, and the room was cozy and comfortable for us. Would absolutely recommend you stay here if you're looking for a great spot in the Pearl district!

Love the Crystal Hotel The whimsy, the artsy, the cool old architecture, the soaking pool, the customer service. We had a great time seeing Lukas Nelson at the Crystal Ballroom and it was a treat being steps away from a comfortable bed. But this part of downtown Portland wears us out. Too sad. Going to Edgefield next time.
