Room clean and staff very nice. Food trucks across the street made it so we didn’t have to go out for dinner. Bed was very comfortable. Location was perfect for us because was very close to the VA medical center. Will choose this place again for next visit to the VA .

Super convenient, quiet and safe location. The staff was nice and always attentive of our needs. Having the food trucks across the street was a nice treat, as well as coffee places close by. It’s my place to stay next time I visit Portland!

The room was clean, comfortable, and sufficient for my brief stay downtown. It was close to public transportation and the event I was attending, and had a huge choice of food trucks available across the street. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The motel is dated but it's clean and comfortable. The location was safe and perfect...near OHSU and places to eat within walking distance. The staff is great.

Clean, quiet, conveniently located. Place was small but cozy. For the price, better than I expected. My only complaint is having to pay for parking. Unless there is some city code that requires the motel to charge, it seems exploitive to add that extra charge.

Very well-managed and well-kept, this motel is a superb deal relative to its room prices. The owners are extremely friendly and pleasant. The hotel is very conveniently located, just yards away from food cards, streetcar stations, tram stations, and Portland State Univ’. I will also mention how easily accessible this hotel is from Portland’s interstate freeways (I-5 and I-84). Great place!
