Best value hotel in Portland. Safe and quiet on the PSU campus with the light rail outside the front door and the downtown trolley one block away. Also lots of great dinning options in walking distance and really close to downtown cultural spaces like the Portland Art Museum, Oregon Historical Society and Portland Symphony.

Portland weekend
Older facility that really could use updating. Our room smelled a little musty but no obvious mold or anything anywhere, just that “damp” smell. TV in room did not work. Offered to move us to another room but since it was already evening and we were only staying one night we declined. Breakfast was fine- what you expect in a hotel continental breakfast. Not sure why they charge for parking when they have a huge lot. Since we were only there for one night it was fine

Watch out for the poop bandit
The people at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. The semi outdoor hallways are carpeted and are quite stained and not great looking. The room itself looked like the pictures and the bed was SO comfortable. When the heat is turned on, the room becomes extremely humid and there are no vent fans in the bathroom for the shower steam. The continental breakfast wasn't bad; the hotel it right outside of a train station and lots of parking. The down side is that we came out to our car the morning we were leaving and found feces smeared all over the windows. The staff were helpful and tried to help us hose it off but we couldnt find a spicket so we just went to a car wash instead.

I had expectations this would be a "decent" place to stay to conduct a few college visits with my son around the area. This included PSU, which we understood this property to be operated by. The website goes to great lengths to display wonderful photos of the place. On our arrival, the lobby is decent, but once you hit the rooms, it goes downhill from there. The rooms have limited windows and airflow which results in stale (or worse) smells. Due to the limited windows in ours, it was dark and felt uncomfortable. Furnishings are older with a lot of gold/brass. Website pictures show bright well lit rooms, I'd bet this all thanks to a crafty use of HDR by a well trained real estate photographer. The bathroom was in rough shape with peeling wallpaper, stains on the mirrors, mold and mildew and damaged ceiling paint from moisture. The sink bathroom handle came off in my wife's hand. She reinstalled it. The hotel information indicated it had a pool, but it wasn't open. It's Portland and it wasn't really warm, but nonetheless we expected it to be open. They charge for parking and need to indicate what the charge is on their website ($13, at the time of this review). Despite paying for parking, we got a ticket issued by PSU. The desk agent input the plate wrong. They were working on correcting it, but parking was closed on the weekend to rectify. Breakfast was nothing special, but they at least had it. They may tear the hotel down, and that would be my recommendation.

Photos were deceiving...
The pictures online are a little deceiving. The hotel is very dated. It almost seemed more like a motel with the doors of some rooms on the outside. Curtains, carpet, shower curtains, furniture, bathtub, and other in room amenities were older and dingy. The bed sunk pretty far down when kneeling into bed, which in my opinion, is not a good sign. We slept okay but I think mostly because we were very tired from our days adventures. It was hard to stay asleep long though. Breakfast was very limited but it's continental so that's what is expected. We did not eat anything from there but did check it out to see what they offered. The space was big and seemed clean. It was probably the best looking space. Public transportation right outside the front and a couple blocks down there are food carts. Getting in and out was not terrible in that area even with construction. The pool was closed since we were there in October.
