Sentinel Hotel

Great overnight stay. Our room was spacious , clean and inviting (they had the radio w/classical music playing in advance). We stayed in room 206- no view, but it was quiet, we could not hear the train(?) like some people have complained about in reviews. The hotel felt lively and hip and the decor is very.. leather bound books, men’s study, men’s cigar room vibes - which I loved. (Sorry not sure what decor that is called). I appreciated all of the little seating areas throughout that you could sit and enjoy the hotel in. Check in was quick and the staff was very friendly. (Valet also really nice staff and very friendly).They offered ice water and apples in the lobby, and a wine HH from 5-6pm, we grabbed a glass after dinner, and it was great. Dining Tip: Jake’s Grill is connected to the hotel and they have really good HH dining options- the chicken tacos are awesome and the cheeseburger is normal not HH sized. Although the hotel had a group of two that weekend we did not feel rushed, ignored or not as important. Great walkable hotel near powells bookstore and other great shopping. We would definitely stay again.

I loved the location, friendly staff and the detail of the restoration to a historic property. Very accommodating and an enjoyable stop in the heart of Portland.

This was a very nice old style hotel, very charming. The room was fantastic. The hotel restaurant was pretty good food, a little pricey but to be expected in a hotel like this in the downtown area. Our server was nice, but a bit slow in service, for instance, our drinks went empty a couple of times, we were done with our food for a while before they came to ask for dessert or if we wanted our check. Other servers seemed more attentive, so might have just been a bad night.

The employee who was working the shift has poor knowledge regarding the hotel / rooms. Was friendly on the other Hand. But over all I feel very, very disappointed. In all honesty I personally feel very sad / upset with my stay. Once I got to my room that's I was very excited for, I had went straight to the bathroom to try out the jacuzzi bathtub. To only find out as it was filling up, it was very dirty. I was able to see gross hair and floating things in the tub. Then I proceeded to let it fill up, walked to the jet timer by the sink to only find out I was given a not working bathtub. Then I used the fire place, turned it on and had left to go down the hallway to check out the snack area and once I came back, the room smelled like a sort of gas. It was a very overwhelming smell. So I just ended up shutting it off for the night. I proceed to go to the bed and I lifted the sheets because I personally do that at any place I'm staying at. And there was these nasty huge yellow stains all over the bottom sheet. I ended up sleeping on the pull out sofa bed. I am still very upset about my stay that I paid $400 dollars for, for one night and thats what I was given. It was late so I didn't have the energy to tell the front counter and I was so discouraged and unhappy that I just didn't mention anything to the employees over all. Felt like there wasn't anything I could do. And that's most likely not the right decision I made but I'm just at a lost for words. I definitely don't recommend

This was my wife and I first time ever in the state of Oregon and our first time in Portland. When we got to the Sentinel , we realized there was not really any parking but the valet was there and his name was Tyler ( I could be wrong with the name ) , but he was super nice , helped us get our bags and bring them inside and lead us to the front desk ( he also later helped us with some good food suggestions) . We were greeted warmly by Dylan and got us checked in ( early I might add ) he gave us a quick lobby tour , explained the restaurant ( there is a restaurant onsite but it’s part of a different building sort of .. ) and I might add that whatever scent they had in the lobby , smelled amazing like old books and leather and tobacco and warmth ! Dylan offered himself and asked if we needed anything else and was great ! My wife and I rode the elevator up and when we stepped off , it was so much more beautiful than we had thought ! The art was beautiful and thoughtful and the decor was vintage but not too much , very classy and rich and the way the lights shined through the skylights lighting up all the live indoor plants lining the hallway of the apartment style rooms . We opened our door to our room and were immediately taken a back , at how the aesthetic was perfect for us .

Beautiful building, stylish and clean. The bed was comfy and the balcony overlooking the city was great! We will definitely stay again!
