8. A beautiful, majestic hotel with music at night, close to the Pearl District and another area I like to shop, there are a lot of down town stores, it is near the Powell bookstore which takes up an entire block I waked further to the 21st and 23st neighborhood whicjh is very quaint.

9. Suggestion: parking in the neighborhood is tough -- they do 24-hour parking at the California State Bank Building garage, which is 1 block south on Broadway.
