Third time staying in this property and would stay again with no hesitation. Econolodge punches above it's weight with the in-room amenities it offers, location, price, and accessible parking. For it's price, you get a pretty spacious room with a microwave, a mini fridge, ironing board & iron, and good water pressure in the shower. Only downsides are the limited toiletries (two travel size mini shampoo bottles, two tiny soap bars) and how dry the customer service was. In previous stays the front desk associate was very upbeat and friendly, this time there were two and both of them were dry. I also forgot an item in the room, called after checking out to report it and the associate claims to have looked for the item (which was left inside one of the drawers) but couldn't find it and wanted to get me off the line quick.

Location was ok but would be great if you are simply looking to get to PSU. Saw some stains on some bedding and towels so that could definitely be addressed. Stayed for two nights but will probably seek a cleaner looking hotel room elsewhere.

I love this low key, budget inn. Great location, food trucks right across the street, friendly staff. This is about my 6th stay. Rooms are very clean. Bedding is clean fresh and comfortable. The furnishings in the room however were well past their prime. Wall near the shower had water damage. This inn is a very solid good value and experience.

Clean, friendly, excellent location

A no-frills hotel that is clean with excellent customer service. We were in a great location-- literal steps from public transit, a CVS and small grocery store, the University of Portland, green spaces, plus coffee houses and food trucks. Exactly what we were hoping for! My family and I had a great time exploring the city. The coffee in the front office was excellent. My kids discovered the excellent lamb gyros at the first food truck directly across the street-- they went back for the overstuffed gyros and excellent conversation several times. Ask the tall, friendly owner to make them extra spicy! We also recommend the cheese naan and Thai pot stickers/pad se ew at two other little food trucks a little further down in the food truck pod. We will be back!

I stayed at the Econo Inn in Portland for one night in July 2025. the staff was very accommodating. I had called the day before to see if I could check in early and they said 3:30 would be fine usually it's 4:00 p.m.. I got there around 2:30 and they had the room ready before 3:00. and let me go in my room early.
