The Society Hotel is a clean and comfortable hotel in a central, vibrant location in Portland. The location is described as colorful and within walking distance to main tourist attractions, restaurants, and the Old Town/Chinatown train station. Guests note the area requires mindfulness, but the hotel itself has excellent safety measures including a locked entrance and a keycard system, making solo travelers feel completely safe. The staff is consistently praised as friendly, resourceful, kind, and helpful, providing amazing service. The rooms are clean, cozy, and comfortable with comfy beds, though some note a minimalist style and shared bathroom options. The hotel has a great ambience with an old school, deluxe vibe, plant themes, and very cute gathering areas including a lobby and a rooftop with beautiful city views. A great coffee and cocktail bar is open all day. The overall experience is highly recommended, with many guests excited to return.
Great location Clean and well-maintained rooms Nice atmosphere in the lobby Polite staff and friendly barista :) Overall, for this price and location, it’s hard to find anything better! A great place — definitely recommend

Great hotel! Warm staff and a great location. Don't be perturbed by the Old Town, solo walking the city in this area although interesting never felt particularly worrying. Society staff kept the hotel safe while being kind and considerate.

Love the Society. A lot of people complain about Old Town and the homeless population. It's a little overblown, in my opinion. But I love downtowns everywhere, so I'm biased.
