Simply The Best
Pros:

Honestly, the free parking is what attracted me the most and they have a secure parking garage! The staff was super friendly and attentive, the breakfast was yummy and the pool was refreshing! The location is also a big plus, we were able to get everywhere we wanted to visit very easily and there are many restaurants and food trucks nearby.

Cons:

I didn't like that people are inconsiderate when staying in a multi level hotel..stomping is really rude. Check yourself!

Friendly staff, good location, free parking.
Pros:

The property was close to the freeway and bus stops. The room was huge and clean with a little kitchenette (came with microwave, fridge and a sink). They offered good breakfast and the staff were so friendly. We loved that we were not too far from downtown but far enough that we didn’t have to worry about too many people and didn’t have to pay for parking at the hotel either.

Cons:

I believe because we were closer to the freeway and the room was closer to the road, we could feel the shakiness of the busy streets. The room would shake pretty hard sometimes.

This is a good place to stay for access to restaurants and public transportation.
Pros:

Location was great. Near multiple bus/tram stations. Near many restaurants and shops. Breakfast was very good, the lovely woman ran it really well and was so nice to everyone. Pool and gym were nice.

Cons:

It's a bit run down, but kept up well in spite of that.

Estancia recomendada
Pros:

El hotel era muy confortable y estaba muy bien situado ya que íbamos a Eugene y estaba cerca de la salida. Las camas eran espectaculares de grandes y cómodas.

Cons:

Somos españoles y el desayuno era malísimo, muy americano pero claro estábamos en EEUU que voy a pedir. Acostumbrado a tostada con jamón y aceite con su buen café te encuentras con bollería y un café muy americano.

Great stay
Pros:

Staff were super friendly! Nice breakfast options. Room was comfortable to sleep in. Overall nice stay for what we needed.

Cons:

Only one elevator but that was only inconvenient for when we needed to bring up or down luggage. Otherwise it was faster to take stairs.

Good hotel, bad neighborhood
Pros:

The hotel is nice, clean room, convience store 200 ft away

Cons:

Sketchy neighborhood, I wouldn’t be walking kids around there at night, but that’s most of downtown Portland. Also be pretty high daily fee for parking if you can’t find an outdoor space
