Very well-managed and well-kept, this motel is a superb deal relative to its room prices. The owners are extremely friendly and pleasant. The hotel is very conveniently located, just yards away from food cards, streetcar stations, tram stations, and Portland State Univ’. I will also mention how easily accessible this hotel is from Portland’s interstate freeways (I-5 and I-84). Great place!

Location was ok but would be great if you are simply looking to get to PSU. Saw some stains on some bedding and towels so that could definitely be addressed. Stayed for two nights but will probably seek a cleaner looking hotel room elsewhere.

I love this low key, budget inn. Great location, food trucks right across the street, friendly staff. This is about my 6th stay. Rooms are very clean. Bedding is clean fresh and comfortable. The furnishings in the room however were well past their prime. Wall near the shower had water damage. This inn is a very solid good value and experience.
