The beds were comfortable and sheets clean. The bathroom was ok, and coffee was goodthat being said the floors looked like they weren’t vacuumed and dirty. I’m glad I brought disinfectant wipes and went over things. It was convenient to were we needed to be.

Great value hotel near airport.

Recent change from Howard Johnson. Lots of equipment and finish updated. A few minor issues with our room but great staff. Breakfast time was limited and room could have been better serviced. Great value. Pool and exercise areas were clean.

My exsperiance

The employees were nice. The room was clean. Breakfast wasnt bad. They could have more juice flavors instead of just cranberry juice. The toilet in the hotel room moved everytime you sat down. The one thing that upset me. A cleaning lady opened our hotel room door. At 930am. Check out was at 11am. These people need to make sure someone has checked out before entering their room. Total invasion of privacy.

Our room was renovated and very spacious. We liked that there was a sink both inside and outside the bathroom. It was perfect for our one night stay, very relaxing and comfortable, slept well. Staff was friendly, allowed for early check in. Check in and check out process was easy and fast. Great location, close to plenty of restaurants and shopping centers and only a short 15 minute ride from downtown Portland. We were very happy with our stay and will definitely return.

From the outside the building looks a little sketchy and the lobby looking the same, but the room was clean and so was the bathroom. Breakfast was nice but the earlier you get to it, the more variety you'll have (whoever is in charge of keeping up with the breakfast bar keeps the hot foods restocked). The staff was super friendly and housekeeping is helpful and super sweet. The hotel was quiet at night and the beds super soft and comfortable. I didn't eat at the restaurant connected to the hotel, but there's good reviews on their website. All in all check-in and out process super fast and easy

Quick stop all easy

Looks like a major renovation, paint etc. Beds were extremely comfortable. The bar and grille area looked comfortable but very loud so we skipped it. Breakfast room is ok but long tables make it very difficult to walk around. Breakfast was traditional motel breakfast. Hot, fast etc would definitely stay there again at the reasonable price but still waiting for $100 deposit in case of damage after 5 days

Did not like anything about the property. Was super outdated, tired, funky smell, in dire need up upgrading or tear down and rebuild. Of note, we did not notify staff of our dissatisfaction, predicted all the rooms would be the same. Thankfully only stayed one night

The room was fairly clean. It was a great location, easy to find and easy to get to. It's easy to tell it has been recently re-done. The rugs in the hallway are kind of dingy. The upgrades in the room are nice, except the bathtub. I like the laminate floors in the room instead of the rugs! The breakfast is lacking. There's not a lot of variety and it's the same thing every day. All that being said, we would stay again!

This is a run down hotel that has partially been renovated. The floors are dirty and there was a terrible odor coming from our refrigerator. The outside of the hotel looks abandoned. Don’t trust the photos on this platform. Very Dec

Just a little smell...

The property is in a good location to several different areas. The hotel is in good physical condition. Beds were super comfortable. Our only concern was that the bathroom area had a noticeable urine smell. I reported it to the front desk before housekeeping came through, but when we returned at the end of the days activities it was still there. They clearly cleaned the rooms, but it didn't go away.
