Hotel Lucia

Very elegant and hip for the price. Comfortable! Nice staff. However, when leaving don't let the bell-boys stuff you in a town car or limo. I took a Taxi-cab to the airport last stay and it was half the cost. The bell-boys don't tell you that though.

The service and attention to detail was perfect at Hotel Lucia! The staff is there to serve and willing to do what it takes to make your stay great! The rooms are relaxing and the beds are so good they are hard to get out of! The location is perfect, in that you can get to anything easily. I will return to the Hotel Lucia as the experience I had there was a joy!

We took a weekend getaway at the Hotel Lucia and purchased one of their romance packages. We were completely blown away by this hotel. For a 3 star hotel, we had a four star room and four star service. The staff at the front desk were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We made the mistake of not booking reservations for a place to eat before we left. Since it was Valentine's Day weekend everything was booked. Kristen at the front desk did a lot of calling around for us and finally found us a reservation to a great restaurant. The room was gorgeous. We stayed in Premium King Room. Our room was located at the end of the hallway, was very big, and had a lovely city view of the bridges of Portland. My advice would be try to get a room at the corner of the hotel. These rooms are generally bigger and have a wall of windows. They seemed to be bigger than the other guest rooms we peeked into. The bathroom was huge with a giant two person shower. The decor of the room was very modern and very warm. Walking into that room made us feel at home. The bed was too die for. Very comfortable. Lots of pillow. We got a great night's sleep on the bed and wanted to take the bed home with us. If you are going for a romantic weekend, I would suggest springing for the romance package. We had a lovely bottle of champagne (not sparkling actual champagne), a $30.00 credit for breakfast in bed, a box of goodies, and valet service. It was fantastic. The only real drawback to the place is that they don't offer free Internet, but other than that I would stay here again.

Pros: Excellent staff, gorgeous rooms, great location, very romantic

Cons: No Free Internet.

I loved this hotel. Very friendly and very COOL photography throughout...The rooms are cozy and the beds feel like the Heavenly Beds from the Westin. Can't go wrong there. They have a awesome bar located in the lobby called Bo's. Great Martinis and informed staff to guide you with the night life in Portland. The location is right in downtown Portland with access to shopping and high end restaurants. It's a must!!!

Pros: Location, Location, Location

Cons: Tiny bathrooms

I love Hotel Lucia! I was on a road trip from LA with my 3 year old daughter, my friend, and my two dogs. We camped one night in the redwood forest and drove all day arriving in portland fairly late. I really wanted a nice hotel to stay in, to recoop from the camping thing. Hotel Lucia was the first place we came across that would allow dogs and that looked nice, and to top it off was a great price. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was beautiful, with two, super comfy, queen beds and ample room. I am a fan of the W and like a comfy, aesthetically pleasing room, which is just what Hotel Lucia offers up for a fraction of the W price. While we just stayed one night, and I didn't get to really experience Portland, I am planning a romantic get-away with my husband and we will definitely be staying at Hotel Lucia

Great hotel if you are traveling from another larger urban center. Service was fantastic. Amenities very modern, cool lobby with attached bar. Deluxe room could be tight if you are used to space, but fine for one person for a couple of days. Upgrade to a better room for more space. It's great for a young, hip, "W" vibe, but more boutiquey...with a Portland vibe. Definitely recommend.

I was in town just a couple days ago to visit with my daughter and she put me up at the Hotel Lucia. What a fun place to stay. Upon walking in, I felt very welcomed. The staff was friendly and very helpful and when I asked for directions to a store, they immediately pointed me in the right direction. The room was very comfortable and I thoroughly enjoyed the soft bed. My daughter mentioned that this hotel had some of the best in Portland and I do believe she is right. While waiting in the lobby for my daughter one morning, I was able to look at the varoius artwork and was amazed at the variety of the pieces. I'm so used to staying in a place with some flat, emotionless picture of a field somewhere and was pleasantly suprised by what I saw. I am recommending this to all of my friends that travel to Portland or know people that do. If anyone from the hotel reads this, I want to thank you for the friendliness of your fantastic staff. You have some great people working for you.

Hotel Lucia, according to its literature, wants to provide a relaxing yet hip hotel experience. And indeed, visiting Portland from Los Angeles, there were many elements of the place that reminded me of home. That's not a good thing. The place does indeed have a lot of nice amenities: Aveda products, lush bedding, well designed bathrooms. But where Hotel Lucia indeed attempts to make the visitor comfortable, they fall short in the most frustrating, obvious ways. For instance, while they'd sunk a good bit of money into the comfy pillow-top mattress pad, they hadn't thought to get a fitted sheet that fit the bed. What good is an extra-comfortable mattress when a person wakes up with the sheet and felt pad balled up beneath them? The alarm clock (very nice) had a docking station for my ipod yet the wireless was fourteen dollars a day. Even the Portland Airport comes with a free connection. The lobby is nice, but loud and seem to function not only as gathering places but also has a hallway from one major area to another. The room price is not cheap and I was struck (dumbfounded, really) by how small they were. Between the end of the bed and the dresser are a scant couple of feet. The only chair in the room is a stiff high-backed desk chair, which isn't very relaxing (nor hip) to watch the plethora of television channels. The hotel staff was quick to respond to any request. It took minutes for some hypo-allergenic pillows to be sent up to the room. But the pillows were no bigger than the size of my head whereas my companion got huge pillows to lie back on. So all in all, the Hotel Lucia is a lot like people from LA: quick to announce its hipness, confident that it's worth the expensive price, but when you get right down to it, there's not much brains to balance out the showiness. Sadly, I won't be back.

I was pleasantly suprised at the room and the level of service here. Smallish rooms with lots of flair. I would stay here again. Get the online special rate. "Betty"?

Where else in Portland can you get an intimate, comfortable yet urban chic hotel experience where the service is good, the beds are comfy and location convenient? Nowhere! I didn't even mention the artwork/decor and overall room value, which are fantastic.

Pros: location, price/value, decor

Cons: smaller rooms
