I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Check-in was quick and easy, and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean, spacious, and comfortable my room was. The pool was fantastic clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing after a long day. It really added to the experience and made my stay even more enjoyable. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I had a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of fresh options. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area, whether for business or leisure. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip!

The sound of voices in the hallway is very loud. People who were speaking in normal times sounded like they were screaming. Two of the electrical outlets didn’t work very well. Items we plugged in were loose causing our CPAP machines to shut off twice during the night. Floor tiles in the bathroom were also loose. I thought the rate was extremely high for the quality of the room. We will not stay there in the future

I don’t like to leave negative reviews, but I will on this hotel. When we arrived at the hotel all electrical outlets in the room were not working, plus some of the lights were not working. Not the mention the bathroom door won’t close unless you lift it up off the floor. Last, only one sink in the room and it’s located close to the bed. It felt like we were at at motel rather than in a holiday in hotel. The location of the hotel was the only good thing.

After an unexpected flight delay coming back home, I decided to stay overnight in Portland after we landed vs driving 3 hours home in the middle of the night. I called ahead to make sure I would be able to gain access as my arrival was well after midnight. When we arrived we were greeted wonderfully by the gentleman at the counter. He even set out a tea for me. I’m not sure how he knew what my favorite kind was but that was an unexpected gesture! The room was perfect for our family and breakfast in the morning was a great start to our drive home. I would definitely stay here again. The only complaint that I have is that the room wasn’t as clean as one would expect. There was some spots on the top of the comforter on one of the beds. This might have been a slight oversight by housekeeping. My room also had popcorn ceiling, and it looked as though there may have been a leak in the pastand there is some discoloration in the ceiling above the sleeping area, which had removed some of the popcorn ceiling. A little bit dated. This would not affect my decision to stay here again.

Staff was nice, everything past the front desk was disgusting. Hallways and elevators were filthy and clearly hadn’t been cleaned or mopped, walls and doors on floor were scuffed and dented. Musty smell in the hallway as well. Room itself wasn’t great either. Mattress had a yellow stain, shower floor was slimy and towels felt like stiff dry carpet. Definitely need to improve their cleanliness
