Out of all the hotels I stayed in Portland, this has got to be the best experience I’ve had out any , it’s super friendly, clean and quiet , if you are looking for an adorable room in the Portland area this is your best option
The room smelled like urine. The floor hadn't been vacuumed in weeks. The bed sheets were dirty. Walls dirty. Just gross. To top it all off, there was a clogged toilet with poop in it upon arrival. We immediately left and stayed elsewhere.
The room was reasonably clean but shabby with discolored carpeting and no blankets for the bed. My wife got cold at night. Bathroom was nicest part of room as remodeled more recently than elsewhere. Dodgy clientele near us with some late night arguments and door banging.
Astonishingly bad property. Cigarette holes in the blankets. Stains in the sheets. No mattress cover. And the creme de la creme... A burnt out van with a flat tire and smashed windows in the parking lot that someone was living out of. I have a photo. It was unbelievable.

It was okay to take the train but i didn't to expect to pay an extra charge.
All linens and towels were stained. Bathrooms had black mold. Beds had bugs (not bed bugs in our booking). Beds didn’t come with blankets. Constant screaming and cigarette smells in the rooms
Shady staff. Refused to give receipt and charge extra for people in room apparently 2 to a room and 2 beds is still an extra charge. Avoid at all cost. Expedia you should end your relationship with the palms , they are terrible.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I did not get room service once during my 5 night stay and the room was obviously not been cleaned properly before my stay.
