Rooms- Our seven guest rooms are
honorarily named (though not themed) after authors & one musician. While
we do not service the guest rooms while you are
checked in, should anything need attention just let us know and we'll be
happy to take care of it. Simple yet attentive.....
Bathrooms- Two guest rooms have private bathrooms,
the other five have use of 2 full and 1 half bathrooms. If you
are wondering, the shared bathrooms are single person use, and with multiple loos
available waiting is not an issue.
3rd guest- Add $10 per night for a
3rd guest - if needed, an extra twin mattress can brought into the Beverly Cleary, Sherman Alexie,
Ken Kesey & Elliott Smith Rooms. Parties of 4 would need to reserve 2 rooms.
Minimum age for children to stay is 6 years old.
Cancellations- Rooms canceled
within a week of their date will be billed to your credit card unless
they are re-booked, in which case there is no charge. There are no
charges for rooms canceled outside of a week's notice.
7+ Nights- Stays of over a week require
a $100 non-refundable deposit. The remaining balance is charged
30 days prior to arrival, at which point canceled nights are not refundable
unless re-booked. A mid week cleaning and laundry change is
arranged, too. Maximum length of stay is 3 weeks.
Holidays- We are open everyday. However, certain holidays you need to check-in beforehand &
check-out afterwards: July 4th, Thanksgiving & Christmas. This is known as a stay-thru.
Groups- Sorry but we do not accept
group reservations - we recommend searching online for vacation rentals
for this. We ask, too, that you not try to get around this by
booking rooms separately.
Check-in begins at 1 pm,
and check-out is by 11am. We can store your luggage for the day, no
problem, and you are welcome to relax in the social rooms for the
afternoon.
Room Heat & A/C- All guest rooms have
in-room heating controls, all but the Gao Xingjian and the Elliott Smith
have window a/c units in the summer.
Continental Breakfast
consists of: coffee, tea, orange juice, fruit, bagels, muffins and "u make 'em" pancakes. There
are a few great cafes in the neighborhood that serve up choice breakfasts,
if you are so inclined, like Detours Cafe @ Division & 30th.
Kitchen- Yes, there is a full
kitchen that you are welcome to cook in & prepare meals, as well as
storage and a fridge. We ask that you leave the space clean when you are finished.
Communications- There
are no televisions. Complimentary amenities: high speed wi-fi throughout & guest internet computer,
as well as a local & long distance phone. Or perhaps crack open a book from the shelves.
Toiletries & Laundry- Robes, towels, wash cloths,
soap, shampoo and a hair dryer are all provided. An iron and coin-op laundry
machines are available in the basement.
Parking is
on the street, though there are no meters, no time limits, and there is
almost always a spot available on our block. Bicycle parking is
available in the basement via a side
door.
Locale- We are a 10 -
15 minute drive to downtown and City Bus 4 stops 1/2 block
away. We are in a lovely neighborhood to walk and bicycle around in - lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, friendly people
and beautiful architecture. Clinton Street is an official Portland Bike Boulevard, and our walk score is 92 - a 'Walker's Paradise'.
No's- No pets/animals and no smoking
inside.
