Blind Tiger Portland - Carleton Street Guest House

Gorgeous and charming. Magnificent comfort

The decor is beautiful and has a nice artistic vibe. Pulled together in a thoughtfully curated way. We appreciated that very much because we love interior design and art.

I would have wished for more personal interaction from host. Breakfast was virtually empty. I guess many people like no contact, but I like people and would have loved more interaction with host. It is more helpful to get the lay of the land and find special places to go from talking with the host rather than relying on reviews and internet.

Beautiful home

Decent location, close to a nice bakery. Stylish rooms

Very expensive stay to have no concierge. It was basically a fancy Airbnb. We never saw a staff member. We were on the 3rd floor and there are of course no elevators. Limited parking spots and if you don't get one you have to deal with street parking. Hated the small shower. It was a corner shower with a curtain so close that it touches you. The labels on the soap dispensers were worn away so you couldn't tell what they were. If you leave the door to the shower cracked the fire alarm goes off from the steam (you're not supposed to have a fire alarm that close to a bathroom). They claim the hotel is a "Digital detox" and had no TV's in the rooms but just feels like a way to cheap out and not purchase TVs. Breakfast was very underwhelming. Just some overnight oats, underripe fruit and straight appel cider vinegar "shots". The ice machine was also not working. In addition, they claimed to not have my contact information and left my check in info (with the door code) tapped to the front door even though I received email and texts from them previously. Overall extremely underwhelmed by our stay. I typically like to pick smaller boutique hotels, but this one was a miss. Wish I had stay at one of the established chains instead.
