I often stay at this hotel when I come to Portland as the value and location are excellent. Reasonably priced room, clean and tidy, good breakfast, friendly staff and quick access to downtown and the freeway.

Great hotel overlooking downtown and the riverfront.
Room is very clean and the staffs are very friendly and helpful. Bed is very comfortable, too! Light rail station is just right in front of the hotel door. The room can hear the traffic noice outside though.
The breakfast and coffee was the best part for sure. Great selection. Fresh fruit and other healthy options beyond the standard cheap hotel processed foods. And locally roasted coffee was great for a budget hotel
Room was clean and looks to have had a fresh remodel. The king bed was soooo comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. It was quiet- no neighbor noise, no road noise, no train noise. The staff are extremely friendly.

The breakfast was a bit underwhelming but not terrible. Waffles and cold cereal.

The breakfast was pretty good. The beds were clean and comfortable. The bathtub didn't look very clean, but the rest of the bathroom was sparkling. It was fine for a quick trip on a budget.
They do charge $13 a night for parking and there is a $75 deposit for the room.
Clean room, pretty good breakfast. Nice to be able to stay in the same place as the conference. The gym waws tiny and not well equipped but nobody else was there so it worked out.
