It was a last minute necessity.
Pros:

The pet room for no extra charge

Cons:

The hallway needed vacuuming quite badly. There was an unpleasant odor. I did not like that the light switch in the bathroom operated the fan as well. It was quite noisy. The property just had an "icky" feel to it. I would not stay there again.

Cons:

The entire building is dingy. A good carpet cleaning and wall washing could have gone a long way. I did not want to touch anything.

The windows are small and the room is dark. The main light in my room didn’t work but the bedside lamps did.

Someone’s curly hair was coiled up in my towels and the towel bar broke off of the wall as soon as I used it. The shower curtain was moldy at the bottom.

The complementary soap is cheap and leaves a film on your hands instead of sudsing. I needed a washcloth in order to physically remove the film.

I wanted to leave as soon as I checked in but knew I wouldn’t get reimbursed.

Pros:

Me gustó la proximidad a carreteras para poder salir de Portland de forma rápida, pero a la vez no estaba demasiado lejos del centro de la ciudad por lo que en 15 minutos estabas en el bullicio

Cons:

El hotel es muy básico y aunque la habitacion estaba limpia, el aire acondicionado hacía mucho ruido y el baño estaba bastante viejo. El wifi no funcionaba o iba lentísimo y eso genera algun problema en la actualidad

not up to the expectations
Pros:

clean

Cons:

The hotel has a persistent and strong smell of marijuana in the hallways and rooms. This made our stay very uncomfortable, especially traveling as a family. It could have been a much better experience, but the odor makes it unsuitable for children. Would not recommend for families.
