“Amazing Portland weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

We were arriving late and a lot of times this can mean a lackluster welcome with the night crew.

This was not the case with the Monaco. We drove in and our car was quickly taken care of in the underground valet. It's just a quick elevator ride up to the lobby where we were greeted by the slightly goofy yet very helpful and friendly Stephen. We were directed to the 10th floor to our King Premier Suite.

The room was bright and like many other Kimptons was a bit funky in it's style. All our IC amenities were laid out and for it being a Valentine's trip the bed was covered in rose petals. The room is large and the separate seating area is great for relaxing in the evening. The bathroom is very large and the dual shower heads make for a great morning.

Everyone in the hotel was friendly and helped us quickly and with a smile. The hotel was extremely clean, both in rooms and the rest of the hotel. The furniture was fun, in excellent condition and all very comfortable. If I really had to nitpick, maybe an extra couple outlets by the beds would be nice. There were tons available in the sitting area, but relatively few in the bedroom.

Overall though, the stay was perfect and really complimented the fun weekend in Portland. If I'm back in Portland the Monaco will be at the top of my list.

Room Tip: Get a higher room. There was some road noise even at the higher floors so it is probably worse on l...

“They did it again, 5 stars!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We will only stay at Hotel Monaco when in Portland. We tried all the other 4 and 5 star hotels in Portland and nothing compares. They treat us and our two dogs like royalty. The rooms are newly redecorated and clean. The location is within walking distance to many attractions. We look forward to returning!

Room Tip: All rooms are amazing and quite.

“Love this place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

I come to Portland semi frequently for work, and this is by far my favorite place to stay. It's exactly what you would expect of a Kimpton property - nicely sized rooms, great lobby area, perfect location

“The reviews are true, great place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012 via mobile

Te hotel is clean, comfortable and cute. The rooms are not super fancy, but decorated nicely. The location is perfect for exploring all Portland has without a car.

What truly puts this hotel apart is the service. The staff is excellent and have super recommendations on where to go in the city.

“They Love My Dog”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

The attraction to the Kimpton was that we could take our dog. Our older son and his girlfriend were in Portland for a wedding, so our younger son flew in from San Francisco to join us. Our dog is the newest member of the family, so they wanted to see him. The staff at the hotel was so nice and accommodating. They had all the pets' names on a greeting board. They were courteous and very efficient. The rooms were very clean. It was so fun to see all the pets and the children mingling in the lobby. We had a wonderful time.

Room Tip: Choose a room for you and your dog! We had a lovely room -room for our big dog and one adult sun and...
