I have recently decided to stay only in Kimpton Hotels when on business, and am pleased with my decision. There is generally a consistency to the hotels that one can count on. The rooms are comfortable, and I enjoy the whacky color schemes. In Portland, because I am a member of the loyalty club, I was upgraded to a junior... more

I arrived in Portland @ 3:30 pm and my room was not ready upon arrival at the lovely Hotel Monaco. I opted to wait in the Hotel restaurant...45 minutes later still not ready. I then asked if another room was available as I needed to get to work on a presentation for early the next morning. I was checked in... more

My friends and I had a great stay at the Hotel Monaco. We got a great rate on Priceline for 3 rooms and after staying there we would be happy to the pay rack rate the next time we visit Portland. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and seemed genuinely to enjoy their job - which is a rarity.... more

I spent four nights at the Monaco. I am a big fan of the Kimpton chain, though the decor can sometimes be more "busy" than handsome. Since it is the wet, "down" season in Portland, the stay was an incredible value given the rate paid for the upgrade to a king suite. The staff could not have been better--from the... more

I travel all over the world. I come to Portland often lately and my company booked this hotel for me last week. Walking into the front door, I thought 'wow, nice place!' I got to the front desk to check in and the woman behind the counter was neither overly friendly nor was she rude, she just didnt really seem... more

Loved the Monaco. Every night at 5:00, there's a wine reception in the lobby. Very congenial crowd. The hotel provides easels, canvases, and paints. We painted every night. Our room the first night was small, with one bed. We asked for a different one, and our next two nights were in a very large suite. Hotel is very pet friendly:... more

Great hotel! Great location! Great service! Great staff! I had pricelined this hotel so got it cheaper than regular rates. Turns out that same night the 76'ers basketball team was staying in the same hotel so I guess if they're here, then it must be good. Upon check-in, I was offered free upgrade to 500+ sq. foot room. No points... more

This was our first time staying at a Kimpton hotel, but we know they're dog friendly so we wanted to check them out with future dog trips in mind. We couldn't believe how gorgeous the hotel was inside - the lobby was funky and bright, but comfortable and inviting (someone was pretty much always in there enjoying the ambiance, having... more

This is the second time we stayed at Hotel Monaco while in Portland, and we'll stay there again on our next visit. Why? The staff is friendly, rooms are clean, spacious and well appointed, location is great, and the bartender makes a great Manhattan! more
