This is great value for the money and near everything with, best of all, an attentive ownership unlike the human-less conveyer belt at supposedly better hotels. There is parking for a small fee unlike most downtown hotels, and it's the best of the ones that do.

Would I really liked about this motel was the price! And the location was right where we needed to be. The beds were comfy. They had an icemaker handy. Parking was relatively cheap at $10 a day. A few negatives are the property itself is a bit rundown. No maid service for the second day. I would stay at this motel again if I were in Portland.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Clean and comfortable and very little to no noise at night. I was there a Saturday to a Sunday. The only thing I did not like was that parking was to be paid in cash. The thing I did like was that parking was only $10 and that is much less than most hotels in the area.
