VERY convenient to downtown. Rooms were plain and simple but clean. Unfortunately, I lost my wallet by the door of the room. ... Staff was helpful and concerned about this. It was a very bad situation as I was leaving for 3 weeks in China in 3 days but their attitude did help.

Not good

supershopper Apr 22, 2009

The motel was very old, with sealant on the shower door where it had been broken. The paint was peeling off the edges of the ... walls. As far as the staff, I only saw the front desk staff when I checked in. Any other time, they were nowhere to be found. It was also a concern when there were "Written Guidelines for Safety" in the room.

I wanted a good cheap room for a night to be near a club in Portland. This was my second stay at the Thriftlodge. It is near ... good restaurants and feels pretty safe. The manager is very nice, friendly and helpful. I would stay here again. The hotel across the street costs more and you get less.

Good value

James Aug 27, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

Thrifty lodge was an excellent value, centrally located for exploring all of Portland. Its right across the bridge from ... downtown on E. Burn- side Ave., the dividing line between north and south. The rooms were nothing fancy but were clean. The showers were old fashioned in a good way- tiled with good water pressure. The neighborhood can be loud on the weekends but it suited my needs and I felt safe.

Karalyn Mar 9, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

The Thriftlodge is located on one of the main streets in Portland, so it was just a short walk to restaraunts, shopping and ... downtown. The gentleman at check in was very pleasant and helped with directions around the city. The room was clean and included a mini frig and microwave. Having two beds in the room made it a little snug between the sleeping area and the bathroom but not uncomfortable.
