I don’t like to leave negative reviews, but I will on this hotel. When we arrived at the hotel all electrical outlets in the room were not working, plus some of the lights were not working. Not the mention the bathroom door won’t close unless you lift it up off the floor. Last, only one sink in the room and it’s located close to the bed. It felt like we were at at motel rather than in a holiday in hotel. The location of the hotel was the only good thing.

After an unexpected flight delay coming back home, I decided to stay overnight in Portland after we landed vs driving 3 hours home in the middle of the night. I called ahead to make sure I would be able to gain access as my arrival was well after midnight. When we arrived we were greeted wonderfully by the gentleman at the counter. He even set out a tea for me. I’m not sure how he knew what my favorite kind was but that was an unexpected gesture! The room was perfect for our family and breakfast in the morning was a great start to our drive home. I would definitely stay here again. The only complaint that I have is that the room wasn’t as clean as one would expect. There was some spots on the top of the comforter on one of the beds. This might have been a slight oversight by housekeeping. My room also had popcorn ceiling, and it looked as though there may have been a leak in the pastand there is some discoloration in the ceiling above the sleeping area, which had removed some of the popcorn ceiling. A little bit dated. This would not affect my decision to stay here again.

Staff was nice, everything past the front desk was disgusting. Hallways and elevators were filthy and clearly hadn’t been cleaned or mopped, walls and doors on floor were scuffed and dented. Musty smell in the hallway as well. Room itself wasn’t great either. Mattress had a yellow stain, shower floor was slimy and towels felt like stiff dry carpet. Definitely need to improve their cleanliness

The sink in our room had no water pressure and did not drain properly. It would take hours for the sink to empty. No sheets or blankets for the pullout couch. Breakfast was consistent. Website says laundry is free but the machines in the dryer are two dollars each and they take quarters only. The area surrounding the hotel was really nice. The room was spacious. The staff were very nice.
