Hotel Sentinel, Portland
More photosExpert reviews
“One of Portland’s oldest hotels, Sentinel is the newest incarnation of former Governor Hotel, the National Historic Landmark where Gus Van Sant filmed My Own Private Idaho.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Portland.
“The hotel occupies two great historic buildings in downtown Portland: The giant, Renaissance palazzo–style former Elks Club (West Wing)—this must have been the grandest Elks Club in the country—and the lovely former Governor Hotel (East Wing). The decor is the same throughout, but the two buildings offer different room types.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Portland.
“Recently renovated in 2014 to add a more authentically Portland feel and offering a laundry list of over-the-top amenities like Salt & Straw room service and a “curated sleep experience,” this Provenance property is one you won’t want to miss.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Portland.
“Dark colours, tweedy textures, old books and curios make guests feel like they’re in the study of a scholarly world traveler circa 1900. In the centre of downtown, the Sentinel draws locals in with its classic steakhouse.”

Pleasant
The staff was wonderful and the vibe of the hotel was exceptional.
The cleanliness of the room; I advised the front desk that the dark green wall behind our beds was layered with an inch of dust. A visible handprint was left when it was touched, quite dirty and has to be cleaned before re-rented. Was surprised we were not offered some form of compensation for future travel; next time I'll ask to be moved upon check in as opposed to tolerating it, that's my mistake.

antique aesthetic
the patio/balcony was a nice evening after a night out, just grab a blanket and a drink and your set! also the entry was amazing and the room at the end of the hall was a bonus even though it sounds like it could be a horror movie it’s the complete opposite.
the firepit batteries stopped working

A nice place to meet and eat…then stay
Great location and very upscale feeling. courteous and knowledgeable staff
It’s a minor quibble, but the key for the fridge thing is just weird

Very good
Our terrace was nice, even though it felt like it could use some upgrades. Our floor had "A room at the end of the hall" with some snacks and a coffee machine which was nice. Nothin fancy, but it was something.
Bathroom could have a felt a little fancier, as well as the terrace.

A relatively good money for value hotel to stay at.
The location was good, staff was friendly and the hotel had good character and decor.
The wifi was ridiculously slow, felt like dial up and the bed was not very comfortable.

Very good
Beautifull historic hotel with very tastefull decoration.
Good connection to public transport to explore Portöand.
Level of service has been cut due
to corona to a significantly lower level than
in other hotels during our trip. Cleanliness could be umproved.

Lack of housekeeping! Friendly but min staff

It was a charming old hotel in a good location with a very cozy and comfortable room.
Room (King corner) was very nice and cozy. The bed was amazing and very comfortable. Bathroom was charming. I appreciated the decor knowing the hotel is quite old.
No housekeeping services due to limited staff, limited refrigerator mini bar, noise from the metro train and the loud bar that turns into a night club on weekends. That was a turn off for me for future visits despite the very charming hotel and room.

Frommers + 1 more“This former elementary school (built in 1915) has been brought back to life as possibly the most unusual hotel in town. There’s colorful hand-painted art on the walls, a couch-filled movie-theater pub, a brewery, and a saltwater soaking pool outdoors, for starters. Choose from two restaurants, which continue the quirky decorating vibe with paintings and other artwork.”
