At a glance:

The Hyatt Centric Downtown Portland aims to offer a boutique hotel experience with “urban-chic” rooms.

What is actually is: Moxy’s* slightly older sibling? *Funny enough there a Moxy hotel across the street.

What it is not: Leading the pack – there’s a lot of hip hotels in PDX and this one feels like it’s falling behind.

Room: 1 King City View

Time of year: Fall

Scores:

Hotel Design: 79 – Bright colors and modern-industrial look throughout, with a small lobby and straightforward layout.

Location: 78 – While centrally located, downtown Portland has lost some of it’s charm over the years – some might find the surrounding streets a bit sketchy at times.

Sleep: 76 – Average bedding. We didn’t hear much street noise.

Service: 75 – Very straightforward – nothing memorable.

Room Design: 80 – We like the concrete floors and funky industrial look. We don’t love the room layout though.

Room Amenities: 75 – Standard

Hotel Amenities: 74 – Not much to offer.

Vibe: 77 – Trying to be cool….with mixed results.

Cleanliness/Maintenance: 70 – Room was acceptable, but standards didn’t feel very high. It felt rough-around-the-edges overall, especially for a newer hotel. Our room could have been cleaner.

Value / Extras & Perks: 70 – We received a higher floor room. Complimentary coffee in the lobby was nice, but cut off at 7am when the restaurant opened unfortunately (sometimes they ran out of free coffee before 7 and didn’t replenish it).

OVERALL: 75.4

Would we stay again? No.
