Positive Reviews
positive:
Staff are pleasant and welcoming
The staff are attentive and polite, easy to talk to to find out more about the city and surroundings or whatever else you may need during your stay. Their friendliness adds to the benefits of choosing this as a place to stay during your travels.
positive:
Terrific location for sightseeing
Exploring the city is easy when this inn is used as a base! Especially appealing is that cars can be left behind, and non-drivers don't have to rely solely on walking, since public transit is so close to pick up. A lot of what makes up the scenic beauty of Portland can conveniently be seen and experienced from this location.
positive:
No-frills accommodations for the price
The inn is a decent choice for travellers who are more or less just looking for a place to crash during their time on the road. If you prefer the simpler aspects of a bed, room to put your belongings, and a bathroom, over a fancy hotel experience, then this is a great option.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Wi-Fi isn't reliable
It may help to find a coffee shop or something for a Wi-Fi hotspot, since accessing it here is difficult. Experiences vary from it being spotty, slow, and at times, even non-existent.
negative:
Off-putting odours and noisy fridge
Some guests report unpleasant smells upon checking into their rooms, and cannot identify the source of these odours. Guests also complain about the room's fridge emitting noise so loudly that it disrupts down time or sleep
negative:
Housekeeping standards are sub-par
Cleanliness is an issue here, with housekeeping not maintaining a 100% commitment to entirely refreshing the room and amenities. Towels and linens still bear stains, the bathrooms show signs of mould, and there is clearly a lack of attention in making each room ready for new use.
