Super convenient, quiet and safe location. The staff was nice and always attentive of our needs. Having the food trucks across the street was a nice treat, as well as coffee places close by. It’s my place to stay next time I visit Portland!

Clean, quiet, conveniently located. Place was small but cozy. For the price, better than I expected. My only complaint is having to pay for parking. Unless there is some city code that requires the motel to charge, it seems exploitive to add that extra charge.
The hotel is situated in a great location close to several dining options, including food trucks right across the street. It is conveniently located to bus and train stops. The staff at the front desk are very helpful. Room is clean and bed is comfortable.
