A Comfortable Hostelry
In these days of mammoth and
over ornate hotels, no doubt
many travelers who recall former
days, regret the passing of the
od tavern or inn. There was an
atmosphere about it, which the
present up-to-date hotel lacks,
in spite of all its numerous con
veniences and able service. In
Portland there is an hotel of
moderate size and plain exterior
which suggests comfort and a
homelike atmosphere. This is
the Oregon Hotei on the corner
of Stark and Broadway. The
country traveler on entering its
hospitable doors does not feel
lost or bewildered. The lobby
is inviting in appearance with
plenty of capacious easy chairs,
into which the tired guest sinks
with an assurance of rest. An
obliging clerk at the desk is
on the alert to look after his re
quirements and give him all ne
cessary information. He finds
he can get a com for tattle room to
suit his purse. A fine grille pro
vides most adequately for the
wants of the inner man. And
when his stay is concluded, he
leaves with the determination to
stop there on his return.
