Very meh

The hotel was older and more worn looking than expected by the photos online. There were also tiny ants in the bathroom. The beds were extremely firm, so if you like that, you’ll love these beds. Overall the place was fine but the “excellent” rating on the site was not matching the actual experience with the room/hotel.

The hotel is conveniently located near the Pearl District and walkable to the Art Museum and History Museum. The room was fine but had way to soft of beds that were uncomfortable bro us. The TV remote only tuned the tv on. The breakfast was fine but the loud commentary by the staff was not appreciated.

It’s an okay hotel. Nice pool. Your continental breakfast is Cheerios, Rice Krispies, typical bananas/apples/oranges, waffles, bagels and English muffins. Oh forgot the dining room has Get your own milk from the gallon in the fridge. Rooms are a cheaper rate but you pay for everything else. I’ve been there twice in one year but won’t go back.

Hidden gem

I've stayed in a lot of hotels in Portland, and this was new to me. A bit hard to find the first time you go, but once you know where it is, easy to navigate. Very close to downtown and the university (who runs the hotel), and access to main roads was a plus. It's a bit old, and some things are worn and need replacing (carpets in outdoor areas were in bad shape). No frills, but it was clean, everything worked, and there was pool in the courtyard, which I didn't use, but families were enjoying. The price was reasonable, and I'd definitely stay again.

Great place to stop in Portland

Safe, clean hotel. Perfect for a one-night stop with the family. The kids especially enjoyed the pool, even though it was a bit small for how many people were in it! We also enjoyed the breakfast-lots of variety and a few healthier options (almond slices, pumpkin seeds, with plain yogurt!)

Comfortable

Communal areas were clean but the room we have could do some refreshing - paint was peeling off the walls above the air con unit (hidden by a curtain which also covered the air con output, defeating the purpose of the air con unit). Very strict policy regarding smoking & vaping (absolutely nowhere on the property, inside or outside) - when we choose to vape outside away from any entrances, we were threatened with a fine for vaping outside in the car park - when I pointed out the were cigarette ends everywhere in the car park, the person from the hotel just blamed the homeless people. More signage to this fact should be put up in the car park, as the signs on the various entrance doors just state "no smoking or vaping anywhere within 10 feet of any entrance". Pool was adequate to cool down on the days it was 38C.

I have stayed at this hotel twice now. This stay I was in building B which is in a slightly older part of the hotel. That being said I still found the stay to be good quality. The bed was super comfortable and the room was tidy and spacious. The front desk staff is really courteous and I like that the hotel offers a free breakfast. It was an unseasonably hot weekend and the AC worked perfectly.

You have to pay to park !

It was a overall a great stay! The Hotels.com listing does not disclose that you have to pay to park. Unfortunately, we had two vehicles so it was double the cost :( If this was actually disclosed in the hotel.com listing, i would have avoided this property.
