Third time here. Excellent service. Forgot they don't have refrigerators in every room (King suites do, I believe) so they will rent you one for five bucks. Comes mounted with a microwave on top. AAA rate was $85 plus tax which seemed to be a good price. Very close to I-5 and 217, making trips easy. Only complaint was only three sets of towels, even though we specified four guests. Quickly delivered to our room, though.

I'll be honest--I'm fairly biased about hotels. I find comfort in the larger, well-known chains (Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton). I tend to look for Marriotts in places I go, unless I want the more intimate B&B feel. But this particular hotel is a favorite of mine, and one that I've recommended to family and friends before. Every time I stay in/around Portland, I choose this hotel to stay at. However--I use this hotel as a stop-over, and have only spent 1-2 nights at a time here.

Pros: location (easy drive to Portland, access to several good restaurants), plenty of free parking, nice and competent staff, free wifi, comfortable beds, good breakfast, clean rooms (and I am very paranoid about cleanliness in hotels, but have never had any qualms about using their linens/towels or walking barefoot in the room)

Cons: location--not located in the city and though it is an easy drive, it is still considered a "beltway" (but for fellow Baltimore residents you can totally laugh at that), no restaurant onsite and hotel can be crowded at times (none of these bothered me at all, which is why I still give it a 5-star rating)

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.
