“Disgusting.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

The only pro: great location. Otherwise, this hotel should be condemned. I'm all for historic places, but this place is beyond disgusting. The room was bizarrely shaped and humongous. There was mold, hairs in the bed, stains on the carpet, evidence of really old water damage in the closet (see the picture with the wall that is crumbling). I could barely sleep I was so grossed out. If Priceline hadn't stuck us there on Christmas Day, we would've run away screaming...

Room Tip: We learned when we checked out that there are "Preferred Floors" on the top of the hotel...

“Nice hotel in a really cool restaurant town”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

Portland is a great little city with an amazing restaurant scene so we chose to stay at the historic Eastland Park Hotel with its easy access to many of the great eateries in town. There is no parking at the hotel so you have to park at the neighbouring garage which gives a discounted price to the hotel's patrons. We chose to park in the street for free - just make sure that there is no street cleaning on that street in the night. The rooms were neat and clean and the check-in process was painless.

“Historic hotel / very charming”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

My husband and I booked this hotel through Priceline. Front Desk was very nice. I wasn't excited about the parking garage at first but it ended up not being that big of a deal. We stayed on the 11th floor in a corner room. The room was cute and cozy. Nicely decorated. The bathroom layout was a bit odd... a small old stand up shower and a toilet were kind of shoved into this tiny room. It was clean and okay for me but I could see a larger person having a little difficulty maneuvering around. The lounge on the top floor was comfy and the bartenders very friendly. I liked the old charm but can see they were currently going through some renovations. Would like to see it when they're done.

“Basic but clean and spacious.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

Friendly and knowledgeable front desk staff (loud housekeeping though). Room was large and very clean. Comfortable bed, nice floor to ceiling window and good view of Portland. Dated Tv and fitness room but serviceable. Old fashioned charm but not full historic hotel ambiance. Would stay here again.

“Hard to access”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2011

I have a bad back and knee. There was no one to help us with our bags and there were 2 sets of stairs to fight your way up to get to the check in desk and the guest elevators. There is a handicap lift but no one to operate it the room was small with a weird long hall inside the room from the sink by the door to the room to where the bed and bath were.. Parking was $18 extra and a half a block away again with no one to help us get the bags to the car. The hotel has a great location and history but not a good place to go if you have some mobility issues
