Decent place but in a bad neighborhood. Secure parking nearby is non-existent. The walls are somewhat thin and I was kept awake by the guy in the next room who had a persistent cough.

The staff was excellent and always helpful. Harlow Hotel is located in a changing neighborhood, but well located. Very accessible by public transit (love, love, love Portland's transit system) and if you like to walk, near some of the city's sights. On the one side of the hotel is the Pearl District, including artist/writer spaces, cafes, and interesting social service organizations. On the other side is skid row, though I never felt unsafe. For the price, it is worth a try. I am sure the renovated hotel was an investment in a future great neighborhood.

Excellent location for Amtrak travelers - it's a 10-minute walk to/from the station. It's located on one end of Main Street, where there are lots of cute shops, cafes and restaurants. In advance, read the emails about the property - how to access it and what's included. There may not be staff there to help. Rooms were recently renovated and very comfortable.

My partner and I reserved a Signature Room,1 King Bed,City View (Signature King City View) room. Our view was of the street in front of the Hotel. There is an unsanctioned homeless encampment across the street. We watched a man doing pullups on a tree. He then took his shirt off and tried to light it on fire with a lighter.

This is a very basic hotel. There is very little space to put down your luggage in the room except the floor. No luggage stand was provided in the room. One of the window blinds in the room didn't open and the front desk person didn't seem surprised when I reported it.

We stayed 2 nights. The morning we left the elevator was broken. I had to carry 200lb of luggage down 3 flights of stairs. I told the person at the front desk that I was very unhappy about my stay and they said they'll report it to the owners. I did not hear from anyone at the hotel after I checked out.

Room and bathroom were clean. Lobby is basic and beginning to wear down. Staff interactions were purely utilitarian - not really there for customer service satisfaction, just for basic exchanges. Half of the time they were not at the front desk when we needed them (eg to store our luggage for us), so we had to call them by phone and eventually a person came out. Our stay was totally fine but customer service was underwhelming for sure.

The room was pretty clean, but there was a light stain on the bedsheet. The bathroom only had bar soap for both the sink and shower and it was extremely drying for the skin. The 24/7 cafe confused me because there isn’t an attendant at all times, and the options aren’t great. When there was an attendant in the morning, they weren’t very cheerful. The location was convenient as it is a 6 minute walk from the train station. To my knowledge there is no parking onsite.

Its like thebfrozen food that you always had to eat when you hung out with your trailer park friends snd their mom didnt ever cook just threw some nuggies or cardboard looking personal pizzas into the microwave oven. Yeah that type of frozen food. Also the hotel felt very drafty and cold even in my room with the heat blastintg I also had to run the hot water in the shower to get the room warm enough.

The staff was friendly and helpful and the hotel is in a great location with there being a short walk into the heart of the Pearl District. The hotel and our room were clean and well maintained. There’s a towel warmer in the large bathroom, which was a nice touch.

Bed comfort was ok. I think the mattress was a hybrid or inner spring which was a little bouncy and offered no movement isolation. Pillows were too fluffy for us as they were very high.

We got a queen city-view room which was nice, but an interior, off-the-street room would have been better as there is a lot of middle-of-the-night noise such as loud cars and street racers, random yelling, and other sounds. Of course, ear plugs or noise canceling headphones would help.

It was still excellent and offered great value, so I’m not really complaining, just making some observations for anyone thinking of staying here to consider.

The rooms at Harlow Hotel are nice. However, the area around the hotel is not the best to walk around in. While it's only about 1/2 mile from Powell's Books and other shops, the immediate neighborhood at the hotel has a significant homeless population on the streets. So, it's just something to be aware of. However, the rooms at the hotel were decent for the price.

Stayed one night and the location right off Glisan was a nightmare for sleep – cars were racing down the road every 5 to 10 minutes, and screaming outside continued throughout the night. If you’re young and looking for a party-adjacent spot on a Friday night, this place fits the vibe, but if you’re actually trying to rest, look elsewhere. I considered switching rooms but doubted it would make much of a difference given how close the hotel sits to the street. Save yourself the misery and book somewhere quieter.

I wish I had said something at the time but the clerk who checked me in said my room number out loud which shouldn't be done due to it being unsafe, luckily no one overheard. There was no staff available in the lobby after 9pm and they mention they have people available in their lobby cafe at all times but during my stay I didn't see anyone. I was given an ADA room even though I did not book one and there were other non-ADA rooms available. The sheets on the bed were scratchy and uncomfortable, there were a few stains/marks on the bedding. The towel warmer did not work in the bathroom and the lighting in the room was terrible but in the bathroom it was the worst, it basically was just the light from the mirror. The hotel looked cute and promising but my experience makes me not want to return.

The room itself was clean and spacious which I appreciated. However, the overall experience was disappointing. The windows were noticeably dirty, which detracted from the view. Street noise was a significant issue throughout the night, including sirens, shouting outside and windows rattling, making it difficult to sleep. Additionally, there was a recurring rattling noise from a pipe in the ceiling approximately every 20 minutes. When I inquired at the front desk, I was told this level of noise is typical.

The surrounding area also felt unclean and somewhat unsettling, which further impacted the stay. While I understand the neighborhood may be in transition, the level of disruption and noise did not align with expectations. Unfortunately, despite the positives of the room itself, I would not choose to stay here again.
