Lovely inn with good balance of amenities and home-like feeling.

Liked:Best Bower is the Goldilocks of places to stay in Portland. Not big, anonymous and corporate, but not the forced intimacy of a B&B. The rooms are of reasonable size and clean, and they have windows - that open! and actual paintings on the wall that aren't mass produced. The small espresso machine, mugs, plates, silverware, etc. mean you can easily have a European breakfast in your room. The neighborhood is friendly and it's a nice jaunt down the hill to downtown Portland. The owner is around if you need her, but not at all intrusive. This is a great place to stay and just right.

Absolutely wonderful stay - we will definitely be back.

Liked:We had everything we needed during our stay - really nice touches included the nespresso machine, wine fridge and the Firsthand products in the bathroom. Really liked the contactless check in/out as well - made it super easy to get settled in.

Disliked:Not one bad thing to say!

Perfect hotel, located perfectly with perfection in details.

Liked:The location, the room quality and the fact that the bathrooms had not only heated floors, but also heated towel racks. Best Bower rooms stand out in their attention to detail, combined with the management's sheer professionalism. I'll gladly stay here again & again.

Disliked:There really is nothing not to like. If you're looking for room service and hoity-toity things like bellboys and a concierge, then this is not going to be your jam.
