We loved our stay at The Docent's Collection, would come here again.

Amazing room & exceptional service!

Great place! Super convenient
Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic place to stay when visiting Portland. The location can't be beat -- within a couple of blocks to the ferry terminal and Old Town shops and restaurants. The building is next to a police station and my family and I felt very safe. The unit was immaculate, modern, and fully equipped. Onsite parking was a huge bonus, as was the friendly and helpful staff. I would, without hesitation, stay at The Docent's Collection again.
Jeremy C., 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful modern accommodations. Very quiet rooms.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This property is beautiful and in the middle of everything. It is pricey but they spare no expense with respect to service and amenities. The kitchen is fully stocked and the bathrooms are beautiful with wonderful products. Their attention to detail and proactive communication around check in and ensuring the stay is going well is great. Highly recommend!
Patricia, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very impressed with the facility. Centrally located. We had a bumpy start with the contact-less virtual check-in. But now that we know what needs to be done, it will be easier next time for us. Especially nice for anyone who is traveling on business and expects an extended stay in the area.
JEAN, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had no issues checking in and the staff are excellent via text! It’s great! Lovely place, comfortable, quiet and clean!
Katherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I enjoyed my visit. I typically stay in various nice Portland hotels when I am in town and this was a nice alternative - extra space, kitchen equipment, particularly appealing for a longer stay. Location was super. No "in-person" staff interactions since all was via an app but they were very available via text and checked in daily. I would certainly do it again.
Christine, 3-night trip

Dillon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful open space. Plenty of room. Clean. Staff was very helpful. I appreciate the check in process. Only thing that could've made it better would have been slippers to go with the bathrobe :)
JULIE, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean, great location and very well stocked kitchen. Very quiet inside too. All in all a very relaxing, functional and convenient place to stay while in Portland - if you are looking for a self sufficient stay.

Christiane, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Incredibly impressed with everything start to finish. Our 2 bedroom room was spacious , quiet and clean. The property is within walking distance to bars and restaurants. Perfect alternative to the traditional hotel experience for those looking for a little more room.
Edward, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We enjoyed our stay at the Docent and especially liked having an equipped kitchen and good size living room/seating. Honestly the only negative was the parking situation - the alley was sketchy at night and there are not a lot of available spaces. I think if the parking was better I would have given it 5 stars bec the lofts are very modern and clean. Great downtown location also.
Lawan, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Second time staying at the hotel. Room is always spotless clean. The room this time (#402) has some noise (could be the heat system). But other than that, everything is great!
Yu, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a beautiful property with amazing, helpful staff at a prime location. Close to lots of dining and activities, a perfect winter wonderland retreat. It is a very relaxing place to stay.
