East Portland Vacation Packages

Location

I’m going to assume it was glaringly obvious and I just overlooked it in my haste to book this trip last-minute, but I was unaware this was not a hotel until I showed up at midnight and had to go through the additional check-in steps. Luckily I had all the resources available to complete the check-in, but had I been without cell reception/charge, I would’ve had nowhere to sleep. I did think I had selected “hotels” as part of my search, but again, am giving the benefit of the doubt. Maybe consider further dummy-proofing measures when customers book unique accommodations like this one.

The location of this VRBO was wonderful. Lots of great food options and shopping within easy, safe walking distance. There’s a grocery store 2 blocks away. For those who want to use public transport, the #15 stops at the corner.

If you can find somewhere else to stay while you’re in Portland, do it. We arrived to an unbearably hot room, all the blinds up, air conditioner broken. Communication with property management was a nightmare and completely unhelpful. Maintenance wasn’t able to come till the next day; they claimed they came into our room and saw that the air conditioner worked properly, but there was no evidence they entered our room at all. The AC remained broken, so we were without it the entirety of our trip and had to rely on a box fan. Moreover, the toilet didn’t flush correctly, hot water was scarce at best—just a nightmare from beginning to end. And I’ve now asked multiple times for reimbursement/a refund and have been met with total radio silence. AVOID.
