Drawbacks at the Heathman Hotel Portland

Hanibelle Lechter slept here.

When you stay at a hotel that prides itself on its art collection (an authentic Warhol print at every elevator landing, and a rotating collection of photography and other works on paper adorn the public spaces), you're not going to love everything.

We renamed the piece hanging over the sofa in room 1011 "Hanibelle Lechter Slept Here." It wasn't the most soothing image to view before drifting off to sleep, but we managed.

We did appreciate that our suite featured a nice vanity area adjacent to the closet. Alas, the room where the toilet, tub/shower, and an additional sink are located is cramped and the bathtub is not for two. The wide Moen showerhead made us hopeful for a bracing wash. But due to green initiatives, the water pressure is insufficient for those with abundant hair to shampoo.
