Clean and servicable
The room was clean and servicable. The building could use sme tlc but was fine. We were traveling for an appointment at OHSU. So convenient. Drove past a couple of times so better signage would be helpfull but that seems to be a theme through Portland.

Portland in July
The staff were supportive and responsive. The building is old, shabby with stained carpet, old worn beds, bedding, and furniture. But location was great for being near downtown, museums, Park blocks. No support bars in bathroom for elders or disabled in first floor room.

I normally stay at 3 or 4 stars hotels, but somehow I decided to go on a lower budget this time, and I can’t say that I was disappointed. This place has a good location, is clean, safe (reception available 24/7), and provides breakfast.
In sum, it was a fair stay when you travel on low budget.

Great staff!
Staff were very friendly with great customer service. The parking fills up quickly as there is not a lot of spaces available. However they do have cameras overseeing the overflow parking area. I felt like the property could use some updating, but was clean and overall comfortable.

The desk staff was terrific. They are very welcoming and kindly answered questions about where to walk for shopping and using the bus system. The room was spotless, and, while there is some street noise from traffic, we slept soundly. The continental breakfast is not lush, but that is not as important to us as other aspects of lodging. Will stay there again if in the area.
