We can empathize with the previous poster who remarked upon being persuaded to cancel his reservation because he couldn't be offered the "optimal experience". We got the same runaround (and the exact same phrase was used!) recently nearly 3 full months after having booked and two weeks before our planned stay. We were called by Suzanne who told us they... more

This was our second stay at the Blue Plum Inn, located in the historic Irvington District. I have to say that our hosts, Suzanne and Jonathan, were attentive, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I am recovering from shoulder surgery and they could not have been more helpful. We stayed in a room on the second floor with access to a common... more

Jon and Suzanne have created a cozy, inviting place to call "home" for a few days in Portland. The rooms are small, but comfortable, and the house is charming. The location is perfect, as Portland is easy to get around in, be it by the public transit, on foot or by car. By far the best part of our stay... more

My wife and I stayed at the Blue Plum Inn for two nights during a week-long vacation to northwest Oregon. Overall, our stay was very good. The highlights were the breakfast and the excellent customer service from the innkeepers. Our only quibble was the lack of an adequate cooling system. Of course, the weekend we visited, the temperature in Portland... more

This was the second time I've had the good fortune of being able to make a business trip into a pleasure trip by staying at the Blue Plum Inn. As before, the reservation process was smooth and professional, and the carefully-described driving directions got me there flawlessly. The comfortable building in Portland's walkable (and parkable) neighborhood of Irvington exudes the... more

I made reservations online and received a confirmation call the next morning. Everything sounded just fine until Suzanne asked for my cell phone number. When I balked, (i use it only for outgoing calls, don't have email, and never have it turned on,) she said she'd have to get back to me. Later in the day, Jonathan called and told... more

This B&B is a foodie's dream! Jonathan and Suzanne make, by far, the most amazing breakfast we've ever had. They use local, fresh, organic, seasonal ingredients in innovative, delicious recipes. On our first morning, we started with poached organic Oregon pears served with homemade yogurt and syrup, with backyard mint. Then came freshly baked rosemary biscuits (made with rosemary from... more

Loved the Blue Plum Inn. We stayed in the Tulip Room, with extremely comfy bed and decent sized bathroom. Quiet neighborhood with great old interesting houses around. Two blocks from a gelato store and a lovely deli. In the other direction is a shopping area with great wine store, coffee shops (of course, they’re everywhere!), good restaurants (we ate at... more
