First time since new ownership. 360 degree improvement. Clean , friendly staff , rooms updated. It was really nice. Few snags but they will correct. Like ironing board , no iron , rooms without hairdryer. That being said you call the desk and they deliver to room right away.

Check-in staff was friendly and professional. Property was until recently a Howard Johnson, so conversion and update is ongoing. Cleanliness was sub-standard: walls have stains, floor feels a little sticky underfoot, and office chair had crumbs on it.

Stayed at Germaine inn over the weekend, forgot a few personal items so attempted to get in touch via phone call. Their phone number is not in service and my multiple e-mails were not answered. The place itself was not the worst, obviously under some much needed renovations. Very disappointed with the customer service as my multiple attempts to get in touch were unsuccessful.

The room was pretty big and comfortable for two people and all of the furniture was great. Cleanliness was on point. The only downside was that, there wasn't anybody replenishing the breakfast items when they were running low, so you better get there as early as possible.

Some sites still say/show Howard Johnson’s - it’s not. Friendly staff, very clean room, great beds with lots of pillows. A bit of a fruit fly problem. Area feels safe, Indoor pool looks clean and quiet (didn’t use). Pet friendly. Easy check in/out. Breakfast could use work. Standard but minimum offerings without much care or quality. Very short hours. Seating is very tight and chairs have skids making them hard to move. Would stay again - a quick, pleasant off-highway drive into Portland.
