I can't say this is the best hotel I've ever stayed during frequent trips to Portland but I can say that for the rate, its a decent value. The hotel is older, but the room was large, with a fridge, and the beds were clean and comfy. As others have comments, the air handling system is useless. Mine sounded like a jet taking off in the closet and didn't cool the room anyway. They do give you a fan (and a little portable heater) but I just opened the window. It was a little noisy, but totally tolerable. The GOOD part is that the rate is half what you pay in downtown and, since you are right on the MAX line, in no-fare square, it is simple to pop across the river, and take advantage of all the things in downtown without having to pay a fortune for a room. I didn't like that they started to charge for parking (I don't remember them doing that the last time I stayed here) but even with that daily fee I still saved over $100 from a typical downtown hotel. Not the greatest place, but a clean, decent place to stay if the weather doesn't make it impossible to open the windows. I'd stay there again.

Hotel staff were extremely kind and efficient with the check in & out process. Should have read the fine print closer before booking as there was a $parking fee! Had I known this, I would have spent the extra $ on upgrading to the hotel with free parking and continental breakfast and saved us even more. The hotel itself is older, but the rooms are very clean. There is no A/C, just box fans, but they worked just fine for coolling off. The hallways were a little eerie, not well lit and bright blue walls- could use a little maybe a good vacuum. This would be fine for a business stay or just somewhere to sleep. I do not recommend for a family weekend away, as the rooms were pretty small.

the hotel was clean. there was construction going on but this did not affect us in any way. the beds were comfortable, and the room was large enough for 3 teenagers(one slept on the floor in a bed roll) and they all were very comfortable. Breakfast was available on-site for purchase and was freshly made(pancakes/fresh fruit/omelets) and was delicious. this place was no frills but was fine: clean,secure. On-site parking was $* overnight. Downtown Portland is easily reached by driving over one if several bridges.

Didn't spend much time in the room, since they don't provide heat unless the outside temperature is below 55F. Dingy carpet color that doesn't match walls makes it seem dirty when it might not be. Cramped, but adequate amenities. Best feature is location: across from the Convention Center and the free light rail into downtown or Lloyd Center.
