My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit dated and had an odd odor, but at least they were well-maintained and clean. The service was excellent overall, even though my room was missed for cleaning one day. The location was convenient, but the size seemed small for the number of guests. The dining experience was a mix; it had its moments, but it could have been better. The facilities were decent, nothing extraordinary.

The hotel location is convenient, close to the event we attended, with plenty of parking and excellent customer service. Rooms were very old and had holes in the walls, smelling like cigarettes or an overwhelming disinfectant. Service was top-notch, with a very friendly and patient young Turkish man attending to our needs. The dining experience was average or slightly below average, with nothing special. The facilities are lacking and need improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had a strong smell of smoke and mold with visible water damage to the ceilings in several places, but despite that, the bed was surprisingly one of the most comfortable I have slept on in a motel. The service provided by a friendly young man from Turkey was welcoming and patient, although the online booking process was a bit unclear. The location was convenient for travelers passing through or visiting Portland, being close to the airport but suffering from highway traffic noise. The dining experience offered a large spread of continental items but was slightly below average due to high volume. Overall, there were areas that could be improved, but some aspects exceeded my expectations.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were a good size and filled with sunlight, although they tended to heat up quickly in the mornings. They were clean and equipped with useful amenities like a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot. However, some beds were sunken in the middle, affecting the comfort level.

The hotel had a bathtub and two extra sinks in the rooms, but they were in ill repair, which made me feel like the hotel didn't care much about its customers' stay. Despite some downs in the twists and turns of the halls, the room was clean, and the bed was really comfortable.

The location was perfect for celebrating my birthday, a convenient and easy 10-minute drive into downtown Portland. It's a good location, as long as you don't mind traveling a bit for other sights and things to do.
Dining

The dining was mediocre overall, except for the tasty sausage. The dining schedule from 6 to 9 worked for us, but it was poor with not many choices. If you don't get to breakfast by 7 in the morning, they don't replace anything, and trash overflows onto the floor.
