Good value hotel
Pros:

Immaculately clean, very comfortable bed, and excellent included breakfast options. Coffee machine was also great with the fresh ground beans. The staff were friendly and attentive.

Cons:

The rooms to the back of the building face the freeway, so the traffic noise is quite loud. I would request a second floor room or one to the front of the building next time.

Overall a decent stay
Pros:

Breakfast was decent and the fresh coffee a huge plus but you had to wait for it to grind BUT Would rather have fresh coffee than some other NOT SO FRESH auto coffee machines.
The pull out couch was HORRIBLE, EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE and UNSATISFACTORY!!
The staff were very nice, informed and accommodating. The room was quiet for the most part until kids started running down the hallways in the morning. Could not hear the 295 traffic which was a plus. Loved the room darkening shades!!

Cons:

See above…….
Have to mention the HORRIBLE, EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE pull out couch again. Completely unsatisfactory and dissatisfied with it.

Reasonably priced nice hotel
Pros:

The staff was very pleasant and friendly. Our room was large and clean and had a good amount of lighting. The lounger in our room was nice. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was large and the shower was nice.

Cons:

The refrigerator didn't have a freezer which we use to keep ice packs cold when traveling.
The handicapped room we also booked for my elderly father was at the very end of the hall. That was a very long distance for him to walk with his walker. These rooms should be close to the entry. His room also lacked lighting compared to ours making it difficult to read. He had a small low armless chair to sit in. It was difficult for him to get out of it once he sat in it. Other places usually have comfy arm chairs with footstools, or recliners.

It was ok. Served the purpose.
Pros:

Not far from the Portland airport. Convenient location.

Cons:

Way over priced for what it was but all the hotels were.

Sitting close to a busy road so got a lot of road noise through the night.
