Hey Ashley,
Thank you for taking a moment to share this feedback. Hearing how we fell short provides an opportunity for growth and we are committed to evolving with the needs of our guests.
I am sorry to hear that your time here at The Hoxton, Portland was anything less than perfect. I have followed up with our team to gather some details about your stay. It sounds like when you arrived, our overnight manager was completing inventory. Our security guard immediately called down to him and he came up to help check you in. I apologize for the wait you experienced.
I am sorry for any confusion or miscommunication, but it does not appear that we downgraded your room. It is unfortunate that the last one we had available was on the 2nd floor where you weren't provided much of a view. In the future, I would suggest booking either a Cosy View or Roomy View so you are guaranteed a high floor.
I am so sorry that the room was not properly appointed. I will absolutely follow up with our housekeeping team about your room missing soap and will also get an engineer in the room you stayed in immediately to fix the TV and phone. This is not the Hox standard and we will ensure this does not happen in the future.
Once again, I appreciate you giving us the chance to better our operations by letting us know how we can do better.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any other questions or observations to share.
Best,
Elli Blakeman
