Unexpected jewel for visitor

by mountainsearch

The people and staff at the hotel were really cool in helping me navigate the best places in the city, than got me there and told me who to talk to. I love those connections without the snobbery.

Rooms ( stayed twice now, once in suite with g-friends) were cute, different. For the price you got a hella lot more than most "boutique budget hotels".

• Pros: the 411 on the rest of the best places to be
• Cons: I wish the suite had 2 beds

Don't Stay Here!

by SofDenver

If there was a rating of negative stars in this bracket The Jupiter Hotel would receive a - 5!

I don't even know where to begin to describe how awful this hotel is. We waited 15 minutes to check-in while the office was closed at 8:00 in the evening and none of the three employees out front would help or even answer our questions with verbal responses, we received hand gestures and looks as if talking wasn't a part of their job description.

Next, we found our comforter on the bed upon check-in to be filled with fresh bodily fluids... I'm not even talking about just a stain left after being run through the wash, it had just been left on there for who knows how long! They had a latex contraceptive next to the bed which seems to completely contradict the terrible cleanliness and safety we observed!

We were told that there was free coffee for guests at Doug Fur which was not true! You have to pay for it and there seemed to be a rift in the relationship between the restaurant and hotel entities. The restaurant staff acted really put out by my asking for a cup of joe.

Next, was the extremely unfriendly, unprofessional, rude, belligerent Management and Security Staff who managed to harass and make our group of four young women who were staying there feel discriminated against, violated and absolutely UNSAFE!

We were forced to get another hotel room on a holiday weekend because

the staff and our experience was so all around HORRIBLE, which really cost us! The interiors and exteriors were filthy and falling apart and the building is a sorry excuse for a boutique hotel.

There are dozens of hotels in Portland at this price range and cheaper that far surpass this pathetic attempt at a good experience!

Not a shred of class exists within the con-finds of The Jupiter Hotel property or staff! I WILL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN, and have passed along my opinions to many friends and family who both live in and visit Portland often!

• Cons: Too many to list.
