Very modern and new condition. Digital key worked pretty well and convenient. Lots of good restaurants within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay.

I had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The location was perfect, which made everything smooth and easy. I’d happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Portland.

Property is modern and clean and a great choice if staying more than one night. The 5:00 check in time is inconvenient and the additional rates for early check in are ridiculous. Our room was ready early even though the information given before check in stated early check in was not available, so we appreciated that. Bed was okay comfort-wise, but the pillows are awful.
The biggest gripe I had was being woken by a very loud family with screaming kids well before 7:30 am on a day we looked forward to sleeping in. If this matters to you, the walls and floors are not very soundproof. This was a very unpleasant way to start the second day of a two-day trip. On a positive note, the staff was available via text and responded to our questions quickly and professionally. One suggestion-an exterior sign. The loft was hard to find, with only small signage on the entry doors which is not easily visible from the street. Overall we were happy and would stay again.

This property was beyond expectation. As long as you are comfortable using the app, check in was super easy and so was getting into our suite. The kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed, and having a living space was a great lift from a normal hotel room.

Fantastic place to stay when visiting Portland. The location can't be beat -- within a couple of blocks to the ferry terminal and Old Town shops and restaurants. The building is next to a police station and my family and I felt very safe. The unit was immaculate, modern, and fully equipped. Onsite parking was a huge bonus, as was the friendly and helpful staff. I would, without hesitation, stay at The Docent's Collection again.

This property is beautiful and in the middle of everything. It is pricey but they spare no expense with respect to service and amenities. The kitchen is fully stocked and the bathrooms are beautiful with wonderful products. Their attention to detail and proactive communication around check in and ensuring the stay is going well is great. Highly recommend!

Very impressed with the facility. Centrally located. We had a bumpy start with the contact-less virtual check-in. But now that we know what needs to be done, it will be easier next time for us. Especially nice for anyone who is traveling on business and expects an extended stay in the area.

I enjoyed my visit. I typically stay in various nice Portland hotels when I am in town and this was a nice alternative - extra space, kitchen equipment, particularly appealing for a longer stay. Location was super. No "in-person" staff interactions since all was via an app but they were very available via text and checked in daily. I would certainly do it again.
