Pros:

Once I saw the condition of the place I did not want to be a victim so I left. Blood in the tube...

Cons:

This is not a place I would recommend. There is a strip club directly across the street. When I checked in, my room was not ready or properly prepared. The front desk employee appeared to be under the influence, which was very concerning. I also witnessed what appeared to be drug use in the parking lot, and there were people sleeping in their cars. Overall, I did not feel safe or comfortable during my stay, and the experience was very disappointing.

It’s was bad no lock keys there was no blankets in our room when asked they give us used comforters
Pros:

Location was ok

Cons:

Everything was bad they gave us room on ground floor and they ran out of lock keys so we had to ask the employee over and over to open the door for us every time we left the room, there were no blankets in room so they gave us used comforter it had hair on it. Bathroom was bad and not clean whatsoever, it was dust every where even on the seat. Sink kept getting clogged, the shower area was so bad we didn’t feel like take shower it was really bad stay we just slept and left first thing in the morning. We paid 157 dollars per night and it was not worth a penny, as female tourists we felt really uncomfortable with door stuff.

Won't stay here again.
Pros:

Budget friendly and pet friendly.

Cons:

Worst bed I've ever slept in.
Key card kept malfunctioning daily.
The motel reeked of weed.
Its more of a homeless/ immigrant camp than anything else payed by the taxpayer.

So pleased to find basic, totally acceptable lodging at an affordable price. Want more pay more.
Pros:

It was refreshing to find affordable lodging in Portland; though amenities were few, the room was clean, quiet, had the best shower ever, staff worked hard to address our needs.

Cons:

Check-in process was slow and messy tho staff worked with us as best they could. Little things you usually expect in a room, tissues, personal care items, a chair, soft lighting were absent. No coffee machine (morning coffee in the lobby).

I will not being staying in a motel 6 again. twice in 6 months and both were horrible.
Pros:

There wasn't much to like. the room was clean but the lobby floor was very dirty both days i was there,

Cons:

The tin bed frame is very loud. its constantly being kicked as its the size of the mattress. any movement in bed you are making a loud noise, we could here others having the same issue. People were smoking pot in the elevators. you could tell who were residents and who were visiting. most residents that i saw were on some form of substance. no fridge in rooms. sink was backed up. room keys stopped working for many people.
