This is a beautiful hotel but lacked the amenities other hotels generally supply the traveler with. No coffee maker in the room. If you want coffee, you can get it after 6:00am till empty on every floor. No microwave, no ice machine. Doors going to the parking lot, which are accessed through the basement, are open till 12:00am. When we left at 6:00am they were open. No overhead to shield you from the rain when checking in or repacking your car. There is a restaurant on premise, but no snack or soda machine. The hotel seems to be focused on appearance and not so much on the travelers things they need.

We had never been to this hotel before, so we weren't sure what to expect. We didn't realize that the hotel is literally right off the highway. However, we were pleasantly surprised just how quiet it was in our room which basically faced the highway. On our first night, we ate in the hotel's restaurant. Our immediate arrival did not go well, but after my husband spoke up the staff went above and beyond in trying to make it right. The signature cocktails and food were pricey but very good. Our room was clean and pleasant. The only downside was that the mattress was too hard, but that could be because we are used to a memory foam mattress. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely consider returning.

This hotel and restaurant, The Federal and 555, are by far the best place to stay and dine in the area!! All newly appointed rooms, everything well done, a fantastic restaurant (the 555 that use to be in Portland) And the prices are very reasonable. You get more than you pay for here. A Diamond in the Rough. Don’t go there because I want it for myself!!!
