THis hotel went beyond my expectations. Very friendly welcome staff at all levels. Work-out room was classy, stocked with water, head-sets for the tv's on the machines and very clean. Rooms were a bit small, but didn't matter, nice amenities and bathroom more then made up for the small living space. Restaurant, Urban Farmer has a fun happy hour! A variety of cheap eats, as well as their own Moonshine :-) Would suggest parking at the smart park one block east, only $17 for an overnight! Will stay here again!

UP-SCALE, SWANKY, LUXURIOUS

I've been to many a 3 - 5 star hotel; the Nines is a conglomeration of size, comfort, luxury, art, and swankiness. It is right in the middle of everything. I stayed there during the Winter Ale Fest in early Dec. From the luxurious large, marble bath, with a height adjustable premium plumbing in the shower to the comfortable beds, I felt a bit closer to heaven. I am a Starwood member and the Nines is a nice addition to the collection. If you want swanky and less luxurious, and a bit closer to the airport, try the W Aloft at the airport. I stayed there back in November. It is hipper and for the younger set -- or at least the younger mindset. It is less expensive than the Nines as well and doesn't offer some of the same amenities, but there is a bar in the lobby, and there's Cascades Station where you can get eats and do some shopping. I would stay at the Nines again -- most especially if I can get free parking at the hotel!!! If I were wealthy, I'd consider staying there for a month in the warmer months.

There is much to love about this hotel, especially it's proximity to restaurants and shopping, its lofty location starting on eighth floor of a landmark building and its modern sophistication with a Tiffany's color palette. The rooms are very comfortable with awesome huge windows that overlook downtown Portland. The fitness room is one of the best I've ever encountered, better than many five star hotels. In fact, all of the amenities are here except the ones you expect: the rooms are noisy (street sounds, slamming doors and elevators) so bring your ear plugs, and worst of all no coffeemakers in the room. This seems absurd in a city known for its craft beaneries. I guess they think we'll slob up the place. My daughter, who paid the bill, couldn't believe the $15 total they charged for a pot of coffee delivered via room service. That alone will send us to the equally nice but quieter and coffeemaker included hotel across the town square from the NInes.
