Stayed only 1 night but should have stayed longer. Great location for walking downtown. It's an old remodeled hotel (Probably a Howard Johnsons or similar property) but now looks quite hip and modern. The price was right and the bed was comfy. Staff was friendly. There was a bar but we did not try it out

My husband and I were on a 1 night getaway with each other. Portland is much larger than the area we are from so we were excited for the experience. Upon arrival, the guy who greeted us was busy busy. He was kind, and let us know where to park and greeted us with a smile. When it came time to check in, I simply handed the man at the front desk my reservation slip and he found us right away on the computer. I had purchased a special through Groupon and was unaware I needed to bring a voucher for it to be applied to our stay. "No Problem" the guy said. He told us to get settled into our room and then kindly asked us to print it out from the business room that they have as a courtesy to their guests. I did it right away and the discount was applied. I had also opted for a room upgrade if it was available for an additional $20.00. The room we got was perfect. We got to see the river, mountain, and city all in one. The bathroom was small, but that's no biggie to us. The reason for the 4 star is the bed. It was overly firm for a hotel bed I think. All in all, this is the hotel we will continue to choose for our mini getaways.

We found out about Hotel Fifty via Groupon, which is a great way to learn about new places and things to try. The idea of a discount always makes something more appealing to me.
This hotel was so comfortable, especially the bed. I don't think I've ever slept in as comfortable a bed, with the highest quality linens. The furnishings are contemporary; sleek, modern, tasteful, and comfortable. Great downtown location. We parked on the street to avoid the 25.00 lot fee, which does seem excessive. The staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend the Hotel Fifty.

We stayed here recently for one night. It was in a great loacation downtown near the waterfront and close enough to walk to the mall and other shopping downtown. Parking was an extra $25 to park at the hotel which is rediculous...why do I have to pay to park here when I'm paying to stay here...anyways the only plus side is that you can leave your car in the underground lot until 5pm of checkout day. The lobby is very new and modern. The carpet needs to be replaced and the halls reeked of cleaner, even our room was drowning with air freshener...but I guess that's better than being filthy. The windows could open so we were able to air out the room. Getting the thermostat to work was a nightmare and we never did get it to a comfortable temperature. It was more on the warm side. Luckily we were only there a short time. People are complaining about the shower situation...the hotel updated the rooms to a modern look and feel. I have been to several other hotels with this layout which is why they provide a stepping towel for the floor to prevent slippage. The bathroom was very clean and had adequate space and light. The room itself was a bit cramped, they could lose that extra chair by the window to allow more walking space around the bed. The bed was SUPER comfortable and linens were crisp...perfect. Flat screen TV & coffee maker which we didn't use were a nice touch. It can be a bit loud at night if you are a light sleeper and get a room where the Rail runs. Overall check in and out were a breeze, good location, good enough value for what we paid, within walking distance from everywhere.
