I've been staying at this property since it was a Holiday Inn Express back in the late 90's...I would give it 10 stars if it were an option. My visits from Gig Harbor, Wa. are always for business and the Troutdale location makes it a good home base for doing business in the greater Portland area. Stay here...you wont regret... More

I posted the missing five stars on our bulletin board, Tim. : ) I appreciate your recommendation that we're a good home base for doing business in Portland -we tend to be associated more with the Gorge than the Portland area, but that 17 miles between here and downtown Portland (with the whole east side between) is easily manageable from...

This was the friendliest, most sincere welcome I've ever had upon entering a hotel. Loree was extremely helpful with info and maps for the spots to see along the Gorge and recommending a great walk nearby along the river for the pup. Later, Rian steered me to a fantastic Lebanese restaurant in Portland. It was like he knew exactly what... More

We did a last minute booking and could get a King size bedroom under $100. The room was neat with all facilities that we would expect. It is around 10miles from Multnomah falls and 5 from Vista house. Opposite there is an decent sized outlet mall. Had a free breakfast and it was pretty good. Great experience all together.

I prefer Just-A-Bed motels. When I travel, the motel is NEVER the destination, so having to pay via my rate for things like gyms, spas, indoor swimming pools or worse yet, water parks makes me cringe. I just want a place where I can get a decent night's sleep to fuel my adventure. So when I find an AWESOME Just-a-Bed... More

We had driven all day. When we got to the hotel we were met with a wonderful smile. The lovely lady let us know there was soup and cookies.

Second time here and they have a good breakfast as well. good beds and slept well. If you want a quiet room get it on top floor and on the back side the front is good to i have been on both sides. The airport might scare you but they dont make a lot of noise at night.

Slept and fed well would be the plan, Gary - glad you found it so.

You made my morning by mentioning the plug-ins... we had a terrible situation in the room with available outlets until the renovation. I thought the fix of outlets on the lamp bases was brilliant, and significantly more elegant than stringing orange extension cords all over the room : ).

This hotel is pretty basic, but it is good value. We had a family suite which was large, lots of room to spread out. Breakfast had choices for us all. Not a fancy hotel, but a good, clean, pleasant one.
