Staff was awesome and were attentive to our needs. The place was accessible to public transit and the airport is not too far away. About 1 hour by train vs. 45 minutes by ride share.

Probably the best for "cost vs. performance" in all properties inside downtown Portland. The property isn't in the best quality but the location is convenient to browse downtown.

Loved this spot, the MAX (light rail) is literally right outside, but it's surprisingly quiet and I felt safe even late at night, walking with my kids. Just around the corner was a great little food truck court with THE BEST wings ever! Plus, there were options for a great variety of food, drinks, and other merriment all around. The staff was friendly from start to finish, the hotel was clean and even though not super updated it was comfortable and nice enough. I would definitely go back and recommend this property to others.

THe staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and quiet in general though I am not quite sure when the carpet was last cleaned. THe location is off the 'beaten track' but there are a couple of restaurants and quite a number of food trucks in the area

Room was great. Loved the late late checkout for only 15 more. The breakfast went downhill though, now it's just plain basic and it used to not be.

The hotel itself was good. My only complaint was that we had to pay to park! I've never EVER had to pay to park at a hotel when I'm paying to stay there. In my opinion that was absolutely ridiculous, do they not make enough off the price of the room to pay for parking?

Great location. Close to food trucks. Breakfast didn't provide anything warm except do it yourself waffles, which I couldn't wait around for. Overall good.
