City Central Holidays

Firstly, five stars for Fletcher, the night desk clerk doing his best, running around being jolly and generally awesome. But that's where the positives end. For a 4-star hotel, I expected better. The architecture is a vibe. But the interior needs a major refresh. Chipping paint, filthy entry carpets, cracked elevator tiles greet you. There is no valet, the parking garage is across the street but there is no direct access to the hotel. There is no concierge and no one to assist with luggage. The entry is up a flight of stairs, so carrying luggage is required, NO ADA ACCESS. The lounge and restaurant on site have minimalistic menus and mediocre food, although service at Gracies was amazing. Outside of Fletcher, the front desk staff were less than helpful and rarely made eye contact, asking every time we walked by, if we were checking out. The room itself, a corner suite, had high ceilings, a massive walk-in closet and was generally spacious. Coffee in room was provided as decaf only, a true insult to PDX culture. The furniture was in need of repair, lamps all flickered, most outlets were nonfunctional and the ironing board was so old, the cover crumbled when opened. The air return grates were thick with dust, not great for allergies. The TV provided basic cable, 13 channels, you get more at Motel 6. The hotel itself has no amenities, though generally quiet, I wouldnt stay here again.

Great

We've stayed at Sentential several times over the years and never tire of the stately architecture and level of original construction quality. Service is always good to excellent, though few will appreciate the additional $65 per day cost associated with valet parking (the nearest public parking lot is subject to frequent break-ins) or the $29 per day charge for 'Guest Amenity Fee'. (FYI: On our last visit, the cost of valet parking for three days on the street outside the hotel totaled $295.95).

Nice location it’s in a good spot with walking distance to a lot of places. The staff was very nice and helpful. I wish they had a pool and a better parking system.

The website states that the King bed sleeps 3! We all assumed that meant there was a pull out bed of some type. I have never seen it advertised that a King bed sleeps 3 on any other website. This is extremely misleading. They did not have a roll-a-way or any other solution for us. We had to give up our room to our family members and we ended up driving home in the middle of the night instead.
