“Needs work”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed in a room for 3 nights but it was not worth it! There are creepy people wandering in and out of the hotel all hours of the night and staff just let it happen. The rooms were okay, a bit small but nice enough for the price. It would be a nicer hotel if there were a new staff and management. It just looks like a bunch of "homies" hanging around and makes the hotel look horrible. I would rather pinch my pennies and stay elsewhere next time.

“Noisy place”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2008

I stayed one night. Had requested a non-smoking room which ended up to be on the ground floor. Don't recommend the hotel to noise-sensitive folks. Located at a busy intersection with inconsiderate guests as the rate is low. The building is close to the busy street with no buffer.

Most everything was clean & in good order. No hair dryer! Room had frig & microwave.
Receptionst was frindly & polite. Again, noise was the main issue.

“Cheap, clean, friendly place for those on a budget”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2008
2
people found this review helpful

I booked here with some hesitation based on earlier reviews but I'm pleased to say that I found it to be totally fine. I ended up staying 8 nights in 4 separate visits in October. I never had any troubles and found the staff to be incredibly pleasant and friendly in the mornings and evenings.
Highlights:
- refrigerator already cold
- microwave in most rooms
- mattresses and linens were practically brand new
- small, but nicely clean rooms
- inexpensive
- fast food places on the adjacent corners
Minor downsides:
- noisy traffic
- guests are mostly construction crew laborers so it's noisy at 6 AM as everyone starts their trucks and leaves
- only breakfast choices are English muffins and regular muffins
- relatively thin walls
- not many easily accessible outlets for charging electronics
- flaky wireless internet access

I found this hotel to be totally satisfactory for a budget-minded traveler.

“Not the best Econo”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2008

I made a mistake when booking this Econo Lodge, I was trying to get a room near the Portland Meadow Race track. They were under going renovations and had not gotten to my room. Lots of street people hanging around. Very busy noisy street make sleep hard. I made sure to park in front of the office to make sure my car was safe.

Small breakfast served the the lobby.

Not the best Econo Lodge I have stayed in.
