A flop house comes to mind when I think of this property. Ussually cab drivers know their town and mine was leery of the place. “watch your belongings” was his words of wisdom, but with only one other person in the shared dorm I was less vigilant. The storage locker was too small for my Rollie. Suffice it to say the room was clean, comfortable and quiet just over the river from the hustle of Portland.

It was not a hostel style hotel at all. But just an old and unclean motel. There was someone in the room next to mine playing video games most of the evening, and woke me up at 7sm with a loud drum solo.

I have been through hell the past few days. I left early . I live in town but had no a c. All i wanted was a minimal place to chill. Credit to expedia for doing something they rarely do...refunding me themselves after calling the staff who are truly nasty people. Expedia apparently agreed and is currently looking into their future on expedia. This place should be shut down. Roaches druggies noise in the ghetto and the entire staff openly does drugs while working. Id sooner hide in my car. I slept outside in a chair i found the nights i was there. Saw other rooms You can only polish a turd so much. Hundreds of cockroaches. No exaggeration. No refunds or empathy from them. They are sociopaths though meaning they easily fake emotions. Really. For your safety stay away.

Unsanitary conditions

We did not stay. We checked in and paid $121.81. The person told us there would be no hot water until he fixed the water heater, we went to the room and the bed was unmade, trash in the room, and stuff on the dresser. It was dirty. The place did not feel safe. We asked for a refund and we’re told no - there was no other room offered nor a discount - we left and didn’t stay

The worst motel in Portland

This place is a dump. The staff are terrible to you. This surly shirtless man who was the owner was yelling at another customer at the top of his lungs. He called us all bums. The conditions were horrible. The walls were covered in mold and the drywall was cracking. There is trash all over the room. Dirty unkempt rooms totally unsanitary this place needs to be condemned. The beds were unmade they give you dirty sheets and a ratty blanket when you ask for linens. I was placed in a dorm with 4 other guys. One of them was a white supremacist with a swastika tattoo who was talking about how much he hates Jews all night. There are drug addicts and people with severe mental issues always roaming around the parking lot. Absolute worst experience I've ever had in a hotel. 57 dollars is far too much to pay. You should only pay 30 if that. Terrible place. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Filthy, and not safe.

DO NOT STAY HERE. I almost feel bad leaving a review like this, but I don't want anyone else to be put in the situation we were in! The woman up front was nice enough to us, but we had to pay up front, and sign some papers work that said no refunds, after seeing our room I understood why. This place doubles as something like a half way house for recovering addicts. Having these two things together is a terrible idea! Not to mention the room was a wreck, the sheets and blankets were soiled (literally blood stains on the pillow case) there were three of us, so she brought a "futon" into the room, which was something like a padded bench that was disgusting, covered in cigarette burns, and useless to even try to sleep on as there was an uncomfortable bar that went down the middle, and either side of it sunk almost to the floor when you tried to lay on it. The room also wasn't set up even though I had specified online, and later over the phone what time we'd be in, and that we needed an extra bed. We tried to all share the one queen bed that night, and did not get much sleep as around 6 am a man was walking around the courtyard screaming on and off incoherently for about an hour, no one stopped him. We left without checking out shortly after, even though we had paid for another night. We were charged $230 to huddle in a disgusting room for a few hours, worry about bed bugs, and listen to someone screaming outside our door at 6 am. This is really unacceptable. DON'T STAY HERE.

This place is not suitable for children. We called ahead on our way down after running late, and they informed us that we should cancel our reservation and stay elsewhere due to danger to children at this location. To their credit, they did promptly and without hassle reverse the expedia charges. I cannot recommend anyone travelling with children to book here.

No bueno.

Couch was covered in dog hair, under the cushions was dog hair and coated in dust. I am allergic to dogs! This property is not wheelchair friendly! I could not use the bathroom, because of the space between the wall & bed were about 1-2 ft apart. Pillows on couch were dusty! Also; there was a dirty bandaid on the bed, in the guest bedroom.

Lets start with the only positive, the guy who checked me in must have known just how crap this place is as when in the...room, he knocked and asked if all OK. I was not able to reply as on phone booking another hotel. Mr roach and his family were living in the room. The curtains were at best useless and the towel, well tea towers are bigger. Just avoid at all cost. I will be writing to the Portland authorities about this place as I cant see how it is fit for human occupation, guess thats why Mr Roach lives these. That is Cockroach. PS a rating of one is far to high a negative would be more appropriate.

It was terrible. There were no towels, toilet paper or trash can. When asked for I was assured I’d get some within a few minutes. After a 6 hour wait I left. I couldn’t stand the 8 kinds of bugs crawling on my feet as well. I left before midnight but was not issued a refund. DO NOT STAY HERE. I had to go find a new hotel for the night. Shocked, sad and disappointed that Hotels.com has this one on their site at all. I am now questioning using Hotels.com in the future. Very bad for business as I will be spreading this as far as possible.
