    Avoid this hotel at all cost. We left at 11:45 pm when we returned from a concert and had no parking. It is not a safe place. Hair in bathroom, stains on bedding. Expedia shouldn't even carry this hotel. Do not stay here, period!!! We drove 2.5 hrs home and lost our $ but our personal and car safety was more important.

    This a no frills hotel. The room was very large, bathroom was very small. Being above the bar and grill meant music thumping until 2am. The pillows were absolutely the worst. We each, the wife and I, had four pillows. The flattest pillows you could ever imagine.

    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.

    It was what I expected for the price. There were a few holes in my blanket, some slow drainage issues in the bathroom sink and bath tub, but clean other than that. Nice central location! And it’s great that there is free parking but they should really do something about the bar patrons taking all of the hotel parking spots. Even though a parking permit in our dash was required, it didn’t seem to stop bar goers. We had to circle the parking lot all 3 nights until someone would eventually come out and leave.

    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.

    The “late” guy who worked until 7am. Encouraged me to use everything I wanted for the amazing breakfast! The coffee was fresh and so was the food. The afternoon gentleman when we were back to the room. He was also very friendly on instructing us on where to leave the key when we left ect.. all with a very warm, welcoming conversation. We will definitely be back if we have to go to Portland for my mother again.

The bed was okay as far as comfort goes however, the bathtub did not hold water, so my girlfriend couldn’t take a bath, the water pressure was good and we have plenty of hot wate... But the carpet was very old and would buckle up in areas when we first entered. There was a heavy smell of carpet shampoo.

    Despite its proximity to where I was getting surgery, I can honestly say I’ll never be back here again. TV is the size of a phone when sitting on the bed, wall AC/Heat didn’t heat up, outlets are in metal conduit on walls instead of inside, all the furniture was damaged one way or another, and it legitimately felt like the toilet was going to fall out from under someone and through our floor to the first floor room. I’m very surprised Best Western allows their name to be on this place.

    Very old building and outdated. Front desk guy was pretty short and rude. They take a photo copy of your ID & Credit card (together) & keep it in a little folder on top of the desk within reach of the front door. EXTREMELY UNSECURED. When we questioned this the guy was EXTREMELY rude about it. The room itself was “okay” definitely won’t be returning. The ice machine didn’t work. The vending machine was very dated and limited (didn’t even have water) . Parking was super limited. And was told it was first come first serve. Street parking is not free!

    It was clean. Some things were pretty worn. Not the worst place I’ve stayed. Definitely not enough parking. No where to park near the office so people got blocked in while others checked in. Couldn’t just checkout by phone so because of parking I had to lug my bags across one parking lot to the office then back across that and then down the hill to overflow parking.

    This trip was an overnight stay to be close to the hospital OHSU for an early appointment next morning. It was perfect for that purpose. Comfortable bed, excellent service and decent coffee and continental breakfast. This is an older motel that has been nicely renovated but it does have that old building smell.

  • Andrew Oct 2024 · via hotels.com
    3/5

    Location: If you are looking for a place to stay that is convenient to OHSU, this is probably your spot - unless you want breakfast. Price: This was a good price for a hotel with a continental breakfast. After experiencing the breakfast, I regretted choosing the hotel because I thought the price was too high. Cleanliness: This was a clean hotel. But don't expect room service to come check on your room for multiple day stays. They don't. Breakfast: They don't serve breakfast until 7:00 am. This is just really odd to me. I don't live in pacific time so 7:00 am is just super inconvenient. The selection was pretty minimal and not worth the extra money for the hotel.

    It's a cheap motel, not fancy but serviceable. About what you would expect for the price. My only real complaint was that it got noisy because I was in a room above the bar that's under the property and the room wasn't noise insulated so I heard the noisy people in the hallway.

    Very kind staff each time I was around them. The room wasn’t the cleanest. I found hairs from previous occupant around the bathroom: on the sink counter and next to the rolled up plastic mat on the shelf on top of the toilet. The table in the room did not appear to be wiped down- it had lots of markings on it but the top of the dresser where the TV is appeared wiped down so I felt better putting my items on top of that and less on the table. The windows were not sound proof so I could hear the traffic outside on the street and the lighting in the room was very poor because it was all very bright. The free breakfast offered good, hot coffee but very limited food options with most items individually sealed.
