Fodor's Expert Review Selina Astoria Hotel

An economical but stylish downtown boutique hotel, the Selina (formerly known as the Commodore) is a favorite with young and artsy souls from Portland and Seattle thanks to its vintage-chic aesthetic, large wall murals and photos, and hip Street 14 Café off the lobby. The three-story building opened as a hotel in the 1920s, but sat vacant for 40 years until a 2009 rehab; If you don't mind sharing a bathroom and don't require too much space, book one of the cozy "cabins," which offer communal bathroom facilities.
