Really liked the location - it's on the upper end of knob hill which is probably one of the best spots in Portland to hang out. The area right around the hotel - ehh, not that great. But it's only across the street and down a block and there really aren't any other hotels any closer as far as we could tell.
Breakfast is the usual Holiday Inn. They've got the pancake machine which the kids love, but I find them to be meh.
Pool and hot tub were a hit - especially when it hit 90+ degrees outside. Could use better lighting inside the pool area though - kind of dark.
Rooms were spacious. We got one on the end and it was borderline as big as my first apartment, but one giant room. Probably could have been divided into a bedroom. A little too much room, but no one complains about too much room.
Vaughn street can be a bit loud. See if you can get a room on the other end or in the middle.
