My husband and I wanted a good hotel that was outside the Portland city limits, mostly to get the rate lower. This hotel is in a good location with Applebees Restaurant across the street, making it easy to have dinner. The staff was very friendly and the room clean and comfortable. From here it was easy to get over to the Columbia Gorge area for sightseeing.

This is below average Hotel, for the price you pay.
Cons.
Older Furniture and older carpets all over.
Bed and bedding not so comfortable.
No Microwave and ref. in the room
Breakfast, all packaged food, except waffle and boiled eggs.
Wi-Fi Slow connection.

Pros
Location,

I had a business meeting in LO and spent the night here because I trusted the quality of Marriott but this hotel missed the mark in the following points:
A "clean" bath towel had a BROWN streak down the middle..no joke.
Mold in the bath/shower and surrounds
Noise and vibration from the monster ice machine and pop machine that echos down the hall.
Smokers hang out right by front door so this "non-smoking" property quickly smells and chokes of smoke
Slow to no WIFI
The breakfast is the norm and no complaints.
Shop around folks this area has plenty of hotels to choose from.

We stayed in the Fairfield Inn Portland South on the first night of our trip from Seattle to San Francisco. The hotel staff were most helpful and there were places to eat within walking distance. We ate at the Oswego Grill which was excellent. The hotel had free wi-fi nand the complimentary breakfast was excellent. All in all a good place to break our journey.
