I stayed here after circling around the Days Inn for an hour, and I'm a former Army soldier, don't get lost much...anyway, it was fair, and they were nice. Avoid the Gustav's lounge on property and go accross to McMehin's for a nice local pub.

Some negative things that can be said about this hotel:

1. The grounds are not well kept
2. The buildings are in need of a fresh coat of paint.
3. The noise from the nearby freeway and on-ramp was noticeable from our room
4. Thin, squarish pillows on the beds
5. 80's era room interior
6. The ice machine in our hall was out-of-order

The positives:

1;. Helpful and friendly staff
2. Very clean room
3. Large bathroom with a great a shower head.
4. Nice morning breakfast

I would give this place 2 1/2 rating, if this site allowed for it. Instead I rounded-up to a "3".

If you are looking for an affordable place to sleep, you could certainly do worse.

We stayed here for two nights while on business in Portland. Thankfully, we only needed the room for sleep and showers. The staff was pleasant, and the parking ample, but the Inn itself was dated, in need of serious updating and maintenance. The bed in the room was comfortable, but no bed pillows were included, instead there were 4 or 5 small 'decorative' style pillows on the bed. Two of the major drawbacks were the noise from the freeway and the strong musty smell of the bathroom. The bathroom smelled badly! The tub didn't drain and the caulking around it was deteriorating and in need of fixing. Sorry to say it but the 'breakfast' was horrible. Everything from the syrup to the milk and juices was so watered down it was tasteless and runny. Disgusting! I would not stay here again unless there were no other places in the area - I would spring for the extra bucks and go elsewhere.

First, let me start with the positives.... The staff were extremely friendly, the hotel lobby was nice and fresh and the included continental breakfast was very nice...with some nice choices. I also would say the location is great, other than it being so close to freeway that you do hear the cars.

Now for the negative and areas that lack and need much help..... The hotel grounds (flowers, grass and hedges) are in serious need of attention. The first room they gave me had a very strong and unacceptable smell of dog. I personally feel that they need to reserve animal rooms to specific rooms and only put people in them that have animals. The room has had extremely stained carpet....way too many stains, that gave me the icky feeling of dirty....very dirty.

I did call the front desk immediately and asked..."is this a room that has allowed animals?" She was very sweet and said that she doesn't think any animals had been in there for a while. Which means that they have been.

I did ask for a different room and she very kindly said that would be fine and asked if I needed any help with the luggage.

The second room did not seem to have as strong of a pet smell but still had a "musty.... not fresh" smell also; but I did not complain as it seemed obvious that all the rooms were probably just as dated inside and in need of new carpet/linens and decor.

What I find irritating, is that if you were to just look in the front lobby....you would assume the hotel is updated and fresh. Not the case......as the fresh smell and look ends in the lobby.

I almost feel bad writing this, as the personnel are all so kind, but even with that.....I would not stay again. The rooms just give you an "ICK" feeling.
