Location was great. Safety for my self, my guest and my vehicle was a concern. Was informed by manager that it was a non-smoking facility yet upon entering the room it was very apparent that the previous tenant had not adhered to this policy. The wall in the bathroom had what appeared to be dried mucous. There was long hair in the drain of the shower.

Rooms are very clean, and the owner stays on topof maintenance and customer needs. Yellow line Max is 5 minute walk, The Alibi tiki bar is across the street, cannabis dispensary next door and a Plaid Pantry is next to the Max line. No complaints here, will be back soon.

Can be a little loud from the railroad behind the inn and the MAX line running outside, but it's calm and only a 10 minute walk via Failing st. to Mississippi ave. with lots of eateries and bars. Very close to transit lines for a car-free visit.

Clearly the owner takes an amount of pride in what he does and takes good care of the property, not the friendliest but that's understandable in a city like Portland.

The hotel itself was fine, very clean and tidy. The staff was all really nice. My only complaint is that the bathroom was very very tiny. Like, could barely change or use the toilet without risk of hitting a wall. Otherwise was pretty good! Neighborhood seems a tiny bit shady, and other guests were loud at night. But neither of those things are the fault of the hotel. Two pretty good bars right across the street as well! Fqirly close to a max station.

This was a basic hotel room, but very clean with a remarkably comfortable bed. If you don’t need frills, it’s perfect, and at literally half the price of “fancier” hotels (especially when all the taxes and fees are tacked on). We’ll be back the next time we stay in Portland.

It was an alright motel for the price. It was right across the street from a really cool Tiki bar which was a huge plus. And it was about a 10-15 min walk from another street that had a bunch of restaurants and bars in a nice area and that was really cool. A couple things about the room though that were not the greatest. When I started to run the water for the shower, it was a brown color. Wouldn't go away unless I turned it off and then back on again to cold water and then rotate to hot. This was super weird. The bathtub/shower is really cramped. You will likely hit your elbows on the wall while washing. The toilet was awkwardly close to the wall in front of it. If you are a tall or overweight person, it's highly unlikely you will not fit. If you bend forward you hit your head on the wall. It so cramped and strange. Also the outlet in the desk I had did not work.

Portland has some issues that there is no escaping. We chose to stay in this motel because of its proximity to The Alibi tiki bar over the road. For a one night stay, the motel was perfect. Clean and comfortable bed with a good shower/bath. The guy who checked us in was friendly and welcoming. We'd stay here again if we found ourselves in Portland.

The manager/owner, Phil, has always been easy to reach, accommodating and super pleasant . The beds and pillows are easily as comfortable as any expensive boutique hotel I’ve been to and I’ve been living in hotels across the globe for a while. Towels and sheets are always fluffy and spotless. There are definitely some cosmetic issues but they don’t effect my comfort so I’m totally ok with anything that doesn’t directly impact my comfort or safety

This is definitely an economy hotel. You will find nothing extra here, not even an ice machine. There is, however, a mini fridge in the room which was a nice find. The bathroom was recently updated, but still pretty dingy and unclean. The floor made a weird creak/pop whenever I would walk near the bed, or sit on the edge. My card was charged for the deposit, and I had to call in to have it reimbursed. That was less than desirable to say the least. This was a cheap stay, but I will be willing to spend more to have a comfortable place to sleep next time I go to Portland.

Not great, not terrible
The room was acceptable, though the age of the building shows with cracks in the wall and the smell of mildew in the bathroom. Location isn't great as it's right across the street from a popular bar so there is constant laughter and chatter from the parking lot of customers lingering and/or smoking. The toiletries and towels were surprisingly good, although there were no washcloths provided. And even with earplugs, I was awakened at 245am buy a loud guy yelling about how he's a vet and the current government sucks... not sure if he was a drunk guest or an unhoused person.

Front desk gave a call prior to check in, maybe because we were coming in late for check in from out of town..not sure. The place was clean, chair in room was heavily stained, bathroom is small but the tiny tub was so cute. Room had an odd odor but manageable. All in all hotel was great for the price, would book again for a one night stay!

No frills hotel, but definitely worth the price. The first room we went to was smoky, but the front desk guy immediately made it right and took us to another room. No issues after that.
