I needed a place to sleep before a flight the following day. I chose this motel from reviews that mostly indicated it would be clean. I was not misled, as the room was comfortable and very clean. I checked the bed and found it spotless, which is after all the most important aspect of an overnight stay in a strange... More

We came up for the weekend to attend a family wedding. This place was just the ticket! The room was no-frills, on the smallish size, but it was comfy & SPOTLESS! Seriously, this was the cleanest hotel we've ever stayed at. The motel employees were super friendly and helpful (printed out our boarding passes for our departure back home, gave... More

The price is right, but the room had a couple of issues. I was expecting that it wouldn't be the nicest room ever since we were not paying a whole lot, but I was still disappointed. The room was an adequate size for two people and the bed was comfortable, but the linens did not appear to be clean and... More

I read good reviews for this motel and don't want to be contrary. Overall, I had a very good experience there for the price. But the walls seem to be paper-thin, you're near train tracks and a busy street, plus the fact that the rooms all open to the outside all contributes to a noisy experience. I had to knock... More

Everything seemed clean. although I did get some what appeared to be used towels, and everytime I or my family walked across the floor we got bit. We have bites all up our feet and legs from staying here. I'm hoping it is just our room. It looks like fleas but they don't allow animals, so not sure. Other than... More

This is a mom and pop type of motel, new owners that have remodeled a few years ago. Our room was clean and quiet, close to the Portland airport, (4 miles or so) No breakfast but they did offer free coffee in the office area. The only thing I didn't like was having to pay a $20. cleaning deposit. The... More

We arrived at the Nordic Motel after a late evening flight. The person at the desk (manager?) was very welcoming and attentive. We went directly to a very clean, small room, spent the night on a comfortable bed, and were on our way with a cup of fresh coffee in the morning. The room had a refrigerator, microwave, TV, and...

The Nordic Motel is close to the airport, Just a short distance from motel row where the newer and more expensive motels are situated. The Nordic is an exceptionally maintained very old motel on NE Sandy, a busy street on the railroad mainline. Our unit was refurbished with a granite countertop, new sink, new bathroom and new windows. The bed... More
