Free parking, but it’s tight, unless you want to park at the sister hotel across the street. Room 209 was too dark and smelled musty; room 408 was much better. Spacious. King-size bed, full-length mirror. Elderly elevator – I was stuck in it for more than 10 minutes on my morning of departure. The elevator intercom to the outside wasn’t working, so we could not tell whether help was on the way.
I have stayed here four out of five visits to Portland, so I do like many things about it; it’s showing its age a bit now.

We were offered The Park Lane Inn & Suites as an option as part of our vacation package (air fare, car, and lodging) on Expedia. From the Tripadvisor reviews, and from the Park Lane Inn and Suites website, we thought we were going to be offered a suite with a kitchen and a little living area (we're here in Portland for 5 days and 4 nights), because they only list their suites on their website. The motel rooms, the one where we're staying, are not shown or discussed. And, our room is in the motel across the street. It's much nicer, however, inside the room, than from the outside which looks rundown.

Our reservation said, "One queen bed," we got two, which takes up space and is unnecessary as I came with my spouse. There's a nice sized flat screen tv, the floors are wood-like, which is cool, and the bed is very comfortable. It's also very clean. The front desk staff was very friendly. They offer cookies and coffee and tea in the front desk area, and a continental breakfast, so I hear. Our stay includes parking, which is awesome -- right across from our room. They also offer free wi-fi!

However, there's no tub in our bathroom! And, no kitchen, no living area, and no amenities like I'm used to in standard hotel/motel rooms: There's no iron or ironing board, no place really to put supplies in the bathroom or shower, and no little place to sit down and relax in the room, because it's so small. And, our clothes are wrinkled from hours of flying (8). I'm sure we could find one from the friendly staff, but that's quite different getting one by walking down the street and across the road, rather than in your room.

The walls are so thin, we can hear our neighbors sneeze and walk across the floor upstairs; we were woken up early and then later on by the walking and the noise.

The decor is really lovely -- trendy & modern with nice sheets, and the flat-screened tv, as mentioned, and, the room is spotless, and clean. I hear the motel is dog-friendly, which is awesome, but you'd never guess it from how clean it is!

But, people, you need to know that the package deal offers a very small motel room, rather than a suite, and the Park Lane Inn & Suites people need to be clear about the rooms that are part of the inn versus the suites.

I would have liked to have known that the place advertised online was not what we were being offered. We would have gladly paid an additional amount for a suite.

The lobby was nice and the staff were friendly enough. They didn't mention the coffee and snacks, but we found them. The room had a horrible odor, either a dog was there or something was cooked there.....air freshener reduced it, but we were never able to eliminate the smell. Had already unpacked when we discovered the light above the bed didn't work and a bug crawling on the bedroom floor. The next night we discovered a similar bug on the living room floor. We stayed there for the location, but next time we would be willing to drive for a nicer place.

Our stay at the Park Lane was so nice overall. There were a few things that were less than ideal, but mostly we were very happy with the place.

We stayed in Rm. 401, which is a 2 bedroom suite. The room was somewhat underwhelming, with cramped quarters that reminded me of European hotels. The dishwasher was four times louder than any dishwasher I've ever heard before despite being about 1/4 size. The bathroom was dark, the T.V. was smallish, and the refrigerator didn't seem to get cold.

Now for the positives. The room had a great view of the city and Mt. Hood. It also had windows that open and a functioning heating/cooling unit. The shower was fine. But the best part about our stay was the wonderful front desk service! Like a fool I did not write down the 2 men's names who did so much to help us get around Portland and figure things out, but they were outstanding.
