Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Very well-managed and well-kept, this motel is a superb deal relative to its room prices. The owners are extremely friendly and pleasant. The hotel is very conveniently located, just yards away from food cards, streetcar stations, tram stations, and Portland State Univ’. I will also mention how easily accessible this hotel is from Portland’s interstate freeways (I-5 and I-84). Great place!

The TV was broken… I didn’t want to even bother to ask since I had to walk down to the reception….
Perfect location in Downtown Portland with everything within 15 minutes of walking. Staff was very friendly and the area was quieter than I thought it would be. Would stay here again.
They we both very nice and helpful, I asked if could be placed in a first floor room due my mobility disability, they were able to accommodate us and even privided me with plastic ware when the restaurant that we ordered foid from didn't include it. Quiet location with a nice view of the west hills Portland area. Clean room. Definitely recommending it
The motel is dated but it's clean and comfortable. The location was safe and perfect...near OHSU and places to eat within walking distance. The staff is great.
staff was very rude, i made a reservation on expedia and he argued with us about being 19 years old and not 21 which is “policy” but then 10 minutes later he checked us in no problem.
