“Cozy!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012

I love staying here and I wish there was a deLuxe in the other cities I go to for work. This hotel is one of my favorite things about Portland. The prices are usually perfect for my budget and it's easy walking to most of downtown. The rooms aren't huge, but they are always spotless, warm, and incredibly comfortable. The beds are awesome. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming and while I've only ever eaten breakfast at the restaurant, it's been delicious every time. I always wish I could stay here longer!

Room Tip: Corner rooms are a big bigger

“We look forward to deLuxe as much as Portland itself”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

It's a no brainer when we go to Portland, Hotel deLuxe is our only choice. We've stayed there twice and been happy both times. It's a really fun hotel -- the rooms are thematic based on golden era Hollywood, which not only is fun, it's well done, the rooms are lovely and comfortable. Given it's an older building, some of the cheaper rooms are pretty small, but deLuxe is so attentive to detail that it doesn't detract from the experience. The location is great too; not right in the mix, but we walk to Pioneer Square and the Pearl District with no problem, and it's an easy drive anywhere you need to go. Plus there's the lightrail stop a few blocks away that makes life easy too. Finally and our very favorite part, is the Driftwood Bar. It's the best, terrific old fashioned cocktails, awesome happy hour prices and ambiance (again, old school Hollywood), and the food!!! I crave their macaroni and cheese and skillet field mushrooms constantly. We can't wait to go back in February and stay there again. We always consider other spots that would suit us well (the Nines, for example), but always end up back at the deLuxe.

“Excellent hotel, with great staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

What a find! This is place is perched on the edge of Downtown and the Pearl District and the North West. From the moment you are greeted by the door staff, you are immaculately looked after. Check-in was pleasant and smooth and friendly. The room was a little small, but was well appointed and clean. My bottle opener broke and it was replaced within three minutes after a quick phone down to reception - the little things like that impressed me a lot. My only gripe was that the walls were too thin. I could a couple talking in the room next to me and they were by no means yelling or being loud, but it was annoying at midnight. Other than that, I canot fault this gem of a place. The Driftwood Bar was great and the bartenders knew their stuff. If I ever come back to Portland, I will stay here again. I just Tripadvisor would allow for half-stars, because I would have rated this four and a half rather than four.

“New Hotel with Class”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

Hotel DeLuxe lives up to its name. The Driftwood bar in the hotel is a scene in and of itself - dark lighting, a few intimate, small tables and a fantastic array of local libations and old school Hollywood cocktails. The theme of the entire hotel is Golden Age Hollywood. The decor is fun and well done, from the lobby to the art to the furniture.

We spent a couple of hours at the bar and loved it. They have incredible deals on local wines and liquor. I got a flight of Oregon bourbon with FOUR shots for $10. It's like a wine flight, only better, because it's BOURBON. Did I mention it was $10?

The bar food menu was delicious. they have several great offerings. We had the Balsamic and black pepper fries and ate every one. They have happy hour during the typical afternoon hours, and again starting at 9:30pm.

The hotel restaurant also has a great menu, and is actually a really good bargain for the quality of food and atmosphere. It was cheaper than the Pearl District restaurants we went to.

The rooms were well appointed, if a little on the small side. The bathroom was nice and spacious and had great era-appropriate fixtures. The bed was great, too. We slept well.

A note on the location - the hotel bills itself partly on location. Depending on the weather, the 10-15 minute walk to the Pearl District can be an enjoyable stroll, or a hike through driving rain or cold wind. The immediate neighborhood around the hotel isn't fantastic. To their credit, Hotel deLuxe keeps a stock of umbrellas it offers for guests to use. It was a very nice touch.

Valet and garage parking are right next door and convenient. The service was great, but it was $28 a night, $24 if you self park.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on upper floors to avoid street noise.

“Best Bedding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

This was a fantastic hotel, the staff was excellent, the room while antiquated was in great shape and very comfortable. I would recommend this hotel for single or couple travelers, as the rooms are a bit small. When I travel with my family we like to have bigger spaces.
