Pros:

The hotel accomplished what we needed it for - a place to sleep. However, the lobby staff was not the most helpful. They didn't give us any information about walking our dog and expected us to know the use the unmarked side doors at all times. The room was not updated and the AC was leaking all over the floor. And the floor was carpeted.

Pros:

Although extremely close to the Moda Center and had free parking, those were the only perks! The carpet was stained, the AC looked like it was on its last leg, the Fire alarm was hanging off the wall and the “comforter” had rips in it. Not to mention the sheets looked like it had old mold stains on it. Luckily we only stayed night as I would not have stayed another. The gentleman behind the reception desk was friendly.

Live roaches in rooms
Pros:

There were live roaches in my room. I went to the front desk and asked for a new room, or a refund, and the front desk employee did not seem surprised. Disgusting!

Pros:

Many broken down vehicles in parking lot, homeless individuals wandering around.
Rooms run down, furniture belongs in a dumpster.
I reserved a room for a parking space and restroom. I was attending a concert at nearby Moda center.
I wouldn't have stayed overnight here, it didn't feel safe.

Pros:

I understand that this is a downtown motel so i wasnt expecting the Ritz Carlton, but when your motel room has hotels for roaches exposed because the mini fridge was already pulled out...i turned the lights on and attempted to return the already pulled out fridge. Lets just say it was like a scene from a rave busted by the police. Roaches darting everywhere.

Pros:

We didn't stay here because it smelled like cigarette smoke and we saw a blood stain on the shower curtain. I talked to the manager and he said we could get a refund, but had to work through Expedia. Expedia tried countless times to contact the property but was unable to process the refund. So we are disputing the charge with our credit card company.

Pros:

Blood stains from what appeared to be bed bugs and boot prints on the sheets. Tried moving rooms, second room same issues. Was given new sheets to put on the bed and I ended up using a piece of plastic as a prophylactic.

Pros:

What was advertised was NOT AT ALL what I got. The hotel claimed it had a fridge in unit, there was none. It claimed it was a non-smoking room, but the room smelled like smoke - as did the whole hotel. The floor had a huge chunk missing out of the laminate flooring planks that was so bad it exposed the floor support joists. The AC didn't work about half of the 6 days I was there. So to pay over 550$ for 7 days was far too much for a hotel room that was barely one step above a Honey Bucket.

A very good stay for the money and convenience
Pros:

Very solid older motel. Thick walls not any city noise. Some items in the room, while they worked could use a little TLC

Pros:

This is not a place I would recommend to anyone. It is clearly being used as temporary living. The hallway carpets are discussing and the musty oder permeates the air as soon as you walk in. The building has potential with large rooms but so poorly kept. The room we stayed in had filthy floors, no towels, a whole bunch of counter space for no reason with an old ragged computer chair. You couldn’t open the window because there was no screen and the neighbor hood is seriously questionable with men smoking crack in cars outside and a whole lot of late night activities surrounding the building. The bed was comfortable enough with clean sheets. The remote was sticky. The smell in the room was so horrible I had to burn incense to mask it. I couldn’t fall asleep because there was a bug that looked like a roach in the bathroom and another one dead on the floor, and where there is one there are more. The worst part is that I had reserved for 3 nights but immediately contacted customer service about cancelling the remaining nights and getting a refund. Unfortunately I have not received a refund yet because Expedia hasn’t been able to contact the property management to confirm that I didn’t stay the extra nights. This place is horrible and it needs to be gutted and remodeled completely.

Pros:

From the moment I checked in, this hotel had a very low-end feel. My room was not clean, and the general atmosphere was uncomfortable. The surrounding area is filled with homeless encampments, which made me feel uneasy, especially as a solo traveler. Even worse, the window in my first-floor room didn’t lock, raising serious safety concerns. I asked to see other rooms, but all three that I was shown smelled strongly of marijuana. Overall, this was a very unpleasant stay, and I would not recommend this property.
