I stayed here for 3 days for a conference downtown and had a fantastic stay. The room was so spacious and clean, more like a 3* hotel then a cheap budget hotel. The management were very helpful when I had to change my reservation due to a flight problem. This is a great hotel for a few nights stay, it... More

I just love Cindy!! She is the manager here and I found her to be very informative, knowledgable and VERY friendly! If there is anything you need to know, or if you need any kind of accomodation, she is the one!

Friendly, family-run spot right downtown. The bathroom was clean and had abundant very hot water for the shower which was fantastic, and the bed was nice and comfortable. It is indeed a motel, but it didn't feel like a point against this place at all... our car was safe parked overnight, and we were walking distance from the Saturday Farmer's... More

This Hotel was not a hotel it is a motel! The bathroom was so teerible and gross that we actually found a rec centre to have a shower in. The toliet has stuff all over the bottom of it and the shower was moldy the bottom of the tub was pealing and rusted. The bed was dirty and uncomfortable. The... More

If you would like clean, reasonably priced, basic, friendly staff and a place that is situated downtown then this is the place for you. We rolled into town and found this Econo Lodge, I have nothing bad to say about it. If you're looking for a more high end, modern decor, etc, than this is not the place for you.... More

The check in process was easy and for the price a nice hotel. The location is perfect. You do have to pay 10 dollars for parking which I think should be encluded with room purchase, but I guess the price could be worse. I am only staying 1 night so this hotel worked for me, the only thing is the... More

If all you are looking for is a clean and no frills place to stay close to Portland's transit and downtown area, this is definitely the place for you. Basic and simple is it. There are only twenty rooms in this small hotel which fill up very quickly. The standard amenities available are free wi-fi, tv, microwave, a fridge, and... More

Friendly and helpful owner. Stayed in upper floor room with plenty of space and very clean. The location was very convenience to public transport and those trucker food pods. Breakfast was very limited and only 1 or 2 seats there. The price was a bit high but considering it's during the 100th roses festival so it's reasonable then. Overall pleasant... More

While there are plenty of hotels with more character in Portland, they all were substantially more expensive or outside of the downtown area. The best thing about the Econo Lodge is its location. While it is not right in the heart of downtown (i.e. the area close to Powell's Books and such), it is either a long walk or quick... More

I read many great reviews on this hotel and since it was the only one within our price range in downtown, I decided to go for it. I wish I would have buckled and spent an extra $40 a night for a nicer place closer to the city center. At $120 a night, what a ripoff. The ONLY good thing... More
