"Rooms named after famous musicians who have hit the stage at the Ballroom...staying here gives you same-night access to otherwise sold-out shows. Al's Den in the basement hosts more live music"

Fodor's
"In the former Multnomah Hotel, built in 1912, the grand lobby of this hotel offers an extravagant welcome to the spacious two-room suite accommodations."

Star Service
"What makes this place unique is that it is the most historic Embassy Suites in the country, a skillful reconstruction of the 1912 Multnomah Hotel. "

Gayot
"The lobby of this restored 1912 beauty is wonderfully rococo, and although some might even call it gaudy, it's certainly in tune with the turn of the last century."
Star Service
"In a prime downtown location, close to the Center for the Performing Arts and shopping, across from the Heathman Hotel, this is the Rose City's biggest and best commercial blockbuster."
