Hotel was very new and clean. Nikki (I believe is her name) the operations manager was FANTASTIC when Doordash delivered my food to the wrong hotel next door and even called over for me and offered to go get it for me. Because this hotel is so new, it sends Doordash to the Homewood Suites next door because it doesn't show up on their map. I will definitely be staying here again!

This room was very nice for the price. It’s set up like a mini condo with a living room area, stove and near full-size refrigerator in the kitchen area and plenty of storage. It also has a large window in the bedroom area. The bed was also pretty comfortable. All in all it is definitely a great value in a great area with many shopping and dinning options. We will definitely stay here again.

There is no one on the property, all check in was via AI. The kitchen equipment was adequate for a several day stay. I was booking for a single night for work in Portland. The room was quiet and the bed comfortable.

Great location. Staff was very friendly; very concerned for our comfort. The room was exactly as it was pictured and described on their website. Super clean, comfortable couch and chair. The two 65 inch TV's had Excellent colors and sound. Kitchen had everything that you would need. The bathroom and the entire room had the best lighting I have ever seen. The bed was extremely comfortable; sheets were super soft. There is plenty of storage, specially for an extended stay. Could see busy road with a lot of traffic but I would not have known it was there as you could not hear any noise. As for the bathroom, it had plenty of counter space for me and my husband; the water pressure was great, the tub is deep and the floor of the tub is very non-slippery. The only negative thing I can see is there is not a handle bar to get in and out of the tub if you are a Senior. Love this "HomeAwhile" hotel. You can't go wrong staying here.

Pros:The rooms were immaculate! Full size fridge, microwave, dishwasher, dishes , utensils etc! Nice livingroom area. Cons: it's contactless but thankfully there was someone at the desk. We got our key cards but they didn't work so luckily she could fix them. I never got the email the last night with directions to check out as promised. But we figured it out.
