Great Location with Clean and Roomy Room
Clean and roomy room. Like the toilet and bathroom separate from the vanity. Great location for restaurants and shopping. Easy access to the highway for a easy shot to downtown Portland.

Decent One Night
We didn’t really need the sofa/office area of the room but was nice separation to have when one was ready to go to bed before the other. Sofa smelled a little smoky…and bathroom was a little dated. Also some noise from freeway traffic and some random hallway noise. Breakfast and coffee were great. Would stay again.
