Rooms are a bit outdated as stated by most of the reviewers. The hotel is very well located. It is almost 50 steps away from the tram station, which can take you almost anywhere in Portland. The check-in process was seamless. The staff were all kind and helpful. The breakfast is average. The coffee served at breakfast was good quality.

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.

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

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.
