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.

Beautiful open space. Plenty of room. Clean. Staff was very helpful. I appreciate the check in process. Only thing that could've made it better would have been slippers to go with the bathrobe :)

Incredibly impressed with everything start to finish. Our 2 bedroom room was spacious , quiet and clean. The property is within walking distance to bars and restaurants. Perfect alternative to the traditional hotel experience for those looking for a little more room.

We enjoyed our stay at the Docent and especially liked having an equipped kitchen and good size living room/seating. Honestly the only negative was the parking situation - the alley was sketchy at night and there are not a lot of available spaces. I think if the parking was better I would have given it 5 stars bec the lofts are very modern and clean. Great downtown location also.

Second time staying at the hotel. Room is always spotless clean. The room this time (#402) has some noise (could be the heat system). But other than that, everything is great!

This is a beautiful property with amazing, helpful staff at a prime location. Close to lots of dining and activities, a perfect winter wonderland retreat. It is a very relaxing place to stay.

The room was beautiful and comfortable and location was perfect! The parking and check in process was different from a normal hotel because it was all electronic with your key being downloaded on an app. First time I did it this way, so it was a bit of a learning curve. I had to call for parking info and someone answered the phone right away and was very helpful. We would definitely stay again!
