Oyster Review Summary
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators.
Pros
- Historic, 1912 building with great downtown location
- Large rooms with bright, whimsical style, flat-screen TVs, and DVD players (renovated in 2012)
- Awesome freebies: an evening cocktail hour, morning coffee and tea, and free bike rentals
- Showcase of local art
- Tavern with popular happy hour and solid American fare
- 24-hour: room service, fitness center, and business center
- Pet-, kid-, and eco-friendly
Cons
- Some complained of street noise
- Fee for Wi-Fi, unless you join Kimpton InTouch program (free)
- Fee for valet parking (with in-and-out privileges)
Bottom Line
The Hotel Monaco is a top-notch hotel in Downtown Portland. Sure, some will find certain freebies a bit off-beat -- namely, the evening cocktail hour set up with brushes, canvases, and easels for guests to paint with; or the offer of a free companion goldfish for your room -- but this artsy hotel is decidedly upscale. Rooms are large, with bright, whimsical decor; local art is showcased on each floor; and Red Star Tavern hosts a popular happy hour.
