Convenient Location

University Place is a good option if you are on a budget and want a comfortable place to stay with easy parking. The Orange line stop is right in front of the hotel, and the Keller Theater is just four blocks away. The beds were comfortable. The hotel has been renovating their rooms, it seems. The restaurant is closed at this time, which is a bummer, but the food carts around the corner have great options.

Great stay

The room was clean and comfortable. My son and I stayed two night for a medical appointment and we had everything we needed. I even worked out of the room for 1 of the days. No issues with WiFi or other connections. The breakfast was good. There is a pancake maker, cereal options, breads and muffins. Juices and coffee. Fresh fruit and yogurt.

My daughter and I stayed in a 2 bed room. One of the beds had a very deep sway in the middle of the mattress. Neither bed was comfortable. The heater was extremely loud. I expected at least to have 2 beds that were comfortable

The hotel was older and could use updating. The location was excellent for my appointment at OHSU. The 10 dollar fee for parking was odd, after renting a room being charged at check in for parking. I have traveled to many different states and this was the first time I was charged for parking at the hotel I rented.

It’s okay but could be better.

Check-in was fine but my first room had sheets that had many hairs on them and other gross things. I asked for new sheets and was given a new room because they said they couldn't get new sheets. The new room was much better and was an upgrade from the first so it worked out anyway. The minor hassle was somewhat annoying when I just wanted to go to bed. I asked the hotel front desk for information on a USB outlet for my phone charger and they said the room had none. Upon getting into the room there were multiple USB charge ports. I also asked the front desk if they had a vending machine upstairs and they said they didn't know. Hotel staff should be more knowledgeable, especially front desk staff. Checkout was fine and my overall visit was okay and I might return here.
