First of all: if you’re a family whose first priorities in a hotel are a pool and a free breakfast, Hotel Rose may disappoint you. However, if you’re looking to experience the true “flavors” of Portland, it’s a funky and unique place to stay that really captures the character of the city whose mantra is “Keep Portland Weird.” Families, stay in a double — either waterfront or metropolitan view — which accommodate up to four guests and include a fridge, coffee maker, in-room bottled water, complimentary bath amenities, and even bathrobes and slippers. Towels and bedding are fluffy, luxurious, and cozy — and in European style, everyone has their own duvet so your covers are never stolen at night.

Although there is not a full breakfast, there is something that the kids might enjoy more: a daily afternoon reception where you can enjoy delicious signature pineapple cupcakes (plus coffee) and pineapple water, a nod to the hotel’s parent company. Also included with your stay are complimentary bicycle checkouts, so you can explore Portland by wheels. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available at the onsite restaurant, Bottle + Kitchen.
