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.

Older building but well kept
For an older building, it's a wonderful place to stay. The mattresses felt new, no noise from the neighbors and the shower had great pressure. The carpet is older but in good condition. The paint is up to date. The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful. It does need an area around the beds to plug in devices for charging instead of across the room but that may not be a bad thing either. Only saw 1 small garbage can under the bathroom sink. If you're on the shorter side, my mom and I are both 5'3", you may want to bring a stool and the bed are a little high. Also, we rented a bedroom with 2 queen beds. We had a ways to walk to get to the room. My Mom walks with a cane so it wore her out a bit. The extra charge, $13 per night, was not advertised up front so that was a bit of a surprise. I could understand if the property was fenced in but they share their parking with a car rental company. Overall, it was a good experience and we would stay there again.

Great place to stay
I really appreciate this hotel. It's got good pricing, pet friendly, clean and comfortable and as an extra bonus the police patrol the hotel (drive around the parking lot) on a regular basis.

Perplexed in Portland
I was given my room key when arriving, and it turned out there was someone already in the room staying there. It was very unsettling thinking you're going into your room after a long day of travel and its already occupied. Mind you I was traveling with my wife and baby. The elevator was very small as well
