Hotel The Nines, Portland
Expert reviews
“Located right in the center of downtown Portland and just steps from “Portland’s Living Room” Pioneer Courthouse Square, The Nines Hotel is an elegant, contemporary hotel located in the historic Meier and Frank Building.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Portland.
“The Nines was created on the top nine floors of the old Meier & Frank department store, a Portland retail icon since the 1920s. Clark Gable worked here before he was a star, and the city’s first escalator graced the store. The Nines, as in “dressed to . . .” honors the defunct fashion emporium with panache.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Portland.
“A luxurious spot in the center of downtown Portland, Oregon, The Nines, A Luxury Collection Hotel occupies the same historic building where Clark Gable once worked.”
“One of Portland’s leading luxury hotels, The Nines delivers modern glamour in a historic Portland building right in the centre of downtown’s best shopping. A LEED Silver Certified Hotel, it effortlessly mixes history, modern elegance and eco-consciousness.”

I wouldn’t stay again but only because of front desk staff as I don’t trust they are compatent
The room was nice
They mismanaged my check in and double charged me for the room, it was irritating then they said I didn’t pre pay for the room but I did through booking. They simply didn’t handle things well

Disappointing
Despite notifying the staff twice, the hotel disappointed me with its unclean and disorganized room.

Passable
Liked the location, gym and the food was very good.
Does not live up to ‘The Nines’. Bathroom grout was very moldy. Over priced for value, staff is apathetic. They’re friendly with each other and miserable with customer, consistently!

Over priced 100%. My next visit to Portland
Centralized location to downtown Portland.
Upgraded to higher floor which was an ADA room which had no closet space to hang clothes; instead it contained shelves. The in house restaurant (Urban Farmer) has terrible food and OP.

Great hotel, but do not trust the prices mentioned by the hotel restaurant.
Fantastic hotel, but with some fundamental shortcomings regarding pricing behaviour.
I really don't accept it if you cannot rely on prices which are communicated upfront. The restaurant charges more than the listed prices. Upon checking the bill, this seems to be explained with a sentence on the bottom of the menu stating "A 3% surcharge on your check represents our dedication to provide an award-winning work environment". Wow, really? Instead of including it in the costprice, I am paying for the work environment with extra charges? This behaviour is horrible and disrespectful to customers of the restaurant. Put fixed cost of YOUR workplace in your costprice and don't BS me with adding it afterwards under the disguise of "your" dedication... It's "only" 3%, but something I never agreed to. It is just scamming customers for more money and such behaviour of hotels and restaurants must be called out. This gives such a bad taste to the stay that I will never eat here again.

Funky, great restaurants and bar.

A lovely hotel in a fantastic location with small rooms.
Loved the vibe of the hotel. Common spaces were very nice, restaurant/bar did a fantastic job although the seating in the steak house seemed more like a Mariott courtyard happy hour venue than what one would expect in a steak house.
I didn't love the size of the room or the bed which appeared lumpy and a bit worse for wear. The mattress seemed at the end of it's life. In the bathroom, the shower door was very cloudy and needed a solid cleaning or replacement if it was uncleanable.

Everything and everyone was great except for parking charge and a minor issue with room service.
Beautiful facility - common areas, rooms, etc all top notch. Loved the library where we played pool.
The room service arrived 20 mins late and not very hot and was missing the toast. Otherwise it was very tasty. The parking fee was way too expensive. We parked at another property.

Needs better cleaning and an upgrade.
Central and nice exterior.
Our room smelled horrible. Feels a bit dated.

The perfect place for leisure or business! Stay at The Nines if you want an exceptional experience.
I love staying at this hotel. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Everything is so well kept and the rooms really beautiful. And it seems every time I stay, there is always a pro-team arriving and leaving and I just love how subtle they are about it. so fantastic.

it was fine, I would have checked into the Marriott if I had know the nines was owned by them.
location
how much the hotel seem like a chain not the boutique hotel it set out to be. there is a lot of wood façade covering the beautiful marble. it used to have very modern posh vibe now it is confusing with Marriott furnishings and the original design of the Nines.

Beautiful and Super Clean with Excellent Service!!
The room was gorgeous and the bed was so comfortable that it felt like I was sleeping on clouds! Every single employee we encountered was friendly and professional. Everyone went out of their way to make our stay more enjoyable! The young lady at the Front Desk who checked us in was wonderful and so were the Valet Attendants who helped us with our car. The entire hotel is Forbes 4 star service rated and I concur. If they owned a golf course, there's no doubt their hotel would be a 5 star hotel!
The only negative is the cost but you get what you pay for. Valet seemed a bit pricey at $58/night with no other options available.

Great bar scene on 15th and 8th floors
Portland homeless issue is a big factor downtown

Very good
Room was clean and comfortable
I paid for an upgraded "deluxe room with city view" except the view was entirely of the building nextdoor. It was like a sitcom when we opened the drape and could see in the windows of the next building. It felt really disingenuous to charge extra for something like that and they room should be described better. Also our room was on the 8th floor just near the check in desk and it was a little noisy. Definitely didn't feel like a deluxe experience.

Comfy beds. Friendly staff. Great location
Very limited connecting rooms. Stated that I needed connecting rooms or rooms close by. Was willing to pay more but rooms given were still far apart.

No garage and valet parking very expensive at $58 per night. However garage parking not far away at half that cost for 24 hours

Nice place! Upset I paid more to look at a building
I thought I paid more for a city view and I looked at a building the whole time and I believe the pics were misleading. Not very happy about that
Wasn’t a city view and pics misleading

Keep your eyes open.
The rooms are good and the food was really good! The location is great. The rooftop bar not being open was a bummer. Location is clutch. If there's a basketball game in town you will see the visiting team at the hotel.
Room not super clean. Some of the stuff in the room was moved around not by me and they tried charging me for items from the mini bar that wasn't used.
