You do have to pay for parking, but the lot is decent. The place was pretty clean. The staff were courteous and communicative. It’s a cheaper hotel, but it wasn’t bad for the price. A little better than I expected, to be honest.

Perfect little hotel in the heart of downtown Portland, food trucks across the road and a 15 min walk to the overpriced hotels who charge an arm and a leg plus parking fees
