This property was really great! It was clean and had everything we needed! The only thing I couldn’t find was a cutting board ;) maybe I missed it. Very nice staff, safe and convenient area. Short bus ride from the airport so we didn’t need a car. We enjoyed our stay! :)

This property was beyond expectation. As long as you are comfortable using the app, check in was super easy and so was getting into our suite. The kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed, and having a living space was a great lift from a normal hotel room.

Fantastic place to stay when visiting Portland. The location can't be beat -- within a couple of blocks to the ferry terminal and Old Town shops and restaurants. The building is next to a police station and my family and I felt very safe. The unit was immaculate, modern, and fully equipped. Onsite parking was a huge bonus, as was the friendly and helpful staff. I would, without hesitation, stay at The Docent's Collection again.

Nice apartment..no staff to help with the facility. Convenient to walk around Portland. It can be confusing to use the FLEXIPASS at first and to make sure you have also signed up for parking if you need it. Next time I would stay close to the water and at a hotel so I have more guest services. The staff was nice when I called to get help but I prefer on-site help. Also, it has a few stairs to get into the apartment building. Overall the building and facility is very clean and nice.

This property is beautiful and in the middle of everything. It is pricey but they spare no expense with respect to service and amenities. The kitchen is fully stocked and the bathrooms are beautiful with wonderful products. Their attention to detail and proactive communication around check in and ensuring the stay is going well is great. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the property for three nights and paid extended hour for checking-out. Unfortunately, the system hotel created didn't work. the cleaning staffs kept knocking our door at 11am (normal check-out time). Even I told them that I paid for the extension hour to check out. They still kept coming back to knock the door multiple times.

I enjoyed my visit. I typically stay in various nice Portland hotels when I am in town and this was a nice alternative - extra space, kitchen equipment, particularly appealing for a longer stay. Location was super. No "in-person" staff interactions since all was via an app but they were very available via text and checked in daily. I would certainly do it again.
