Unique House with a central location
This was such a cool house to stay in. The host was very responsive and the check in/out process couldn't have been easier.

We had a great experience
We were concerned about some of the postings we read, I'm happy to confirm that we had a great stay. The room was clean and comfortable the house was clean and locked. The other guests were pleasant when we talked to them. There was both a hair dryer and an iron. All in all a great stay at a reasonable price.

Parking was awful. Portland has the dumbest rules. Holy need to make arrangement with Walgreens for parking. If dining was not so great I would give this place the lowest score possible

A Westside Walking Wonderland
The property was exactly as seen in the photos, if not a little bit more breathtaking. Wonderful Architecture and tastefully decorated and all the amenities needed for a long weekend or week.
The convenience of the location can not be beat, walking around town is simple with plenty of sites in between destinations, we spent a whole afternoon just taking in the Neighborhoods Architecture. It doesnt hurt that Tandem Coffee is a block away and worth the crowds for a Pastry and Caffeine.
Our Host was helpful on check in and check out as well. We never felt left to "figure it out". Cant wait to come back.

Pros and cons.
Pros: close to everything downtown Portland, very convenient. Liked having Walgreens next door. The room was overall cozy. Had Wifi, TV, a fridge, a coffee machine, cups and silverware, and toiletries.
The maid was very sweet.
Cons:
1. Room smelled like cigarettes
2. Found someone else’s takeout order under our bed which was covered in mold.
3. Check-in process was awful - we were not provided with check in details, had to sit on the phone with customer service for over an hour. Property manager was not helpful and refused to provide check in details until we called customer service 3 times.

Safety was the big concern. The key for the door was in wrong lockbox. Both lockboxes had the same code.There was no additional inside lock for room door. There was not a peephole in door. The bathroom window did not have a lock. Wound up proping a chair under the doorknob. Other residents of building looked pretty sketchy. Did not feel safe in neighborhood at night. Parking was very difficult to find and was blocks away.The kitchen sink had dirty dishes in it and the fridge was horrid. The historical aspects of the building were beautiful and the room was decorated well. There were some good restaurants nearby. I would not stay here again or recommend it.

Good location, weird decor
Great location very close to Congress avenue shops and restaurants, West End and Western Promenade, and State Theatre as well as the Arts district.
Decor inside was just strange but the place was relatively comfortable. It's just one room with a bed.
It was warm when we were there with no fans or AC it was stuffy. Couldn't open windows due to outside smokers.
Residence smelled a little of smoke and cover uip of smoke. Not unbearable but noticed by me.
Despite being right on Congress it was very quiet which is great.

Disgusted!
Where do I start. We found dirty clothing left by some previous guest on the floor behind the bed and in a corner as well as a used food container on the floor in another corner.
No amenities, as in no hair dryer and no iron but there was an ironing board! Even worse, I sent a message the day before asking about both items and got no reply!! In addition the keys were in the wrong lock box.
The location was great, close to everything. But I would not recommend this place nor will I return.

Pleased in Portland
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Holt House. The location was perfect as walks down Congress into Portland center and other areas were easy to find. We made use of the common kitchen area each morning to scramble eggs before embarking on our day. Our room had an in room private bath which we would recommend. Thank you for a nice Portland experience!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Parkside a bit on the dark side.
Room extremely dark. Kitchen area not clean. No clean mugs/cups. Washed the only two I found in the sink and used those. Absolutely no soap in room, had to buy hand soap, etc. Many people around day and night outside the home property smoking and just hanging around. Noisy thumping bass ‘music’ first two nights. Just not great.

Quiet Comfortable Place to Stay
We needed a place to stay in Portland while we visited family and this spot met our needs perfectly and we would certainly book again.

Fun, goth rooms in a fabulous old home
Walking in to Holt House is like walking into a grand old home. The rooms are lush and a little dark, nice and spacious. Fast walk to downtown and amenities, great Thai coffee right across the street.
