We had a good experience at this La Quinta near the Portland Airport. We arrived about 2 hours before the "official" check-in time, but the desk clerk was able to check us in anyway, which we appreciated. The room was clean and contained everything we could have needed...TV, microwave, fridge, coffee maker. My only complaints were that the water pressure in the shower was very low and the room with one queen bed was very small with little extra space for 2 people to move around in. Other reviewers have complained about the shortage of parking space, but we never had trouble finding a spot very near the entrance, even late in the evening.
The continental breakfast was above average with eggs, biscuits and gravy, cereal (hot and cold), pastries, yogurt and a good assortment of beverages. I thought it was great that they start serving at 4 a.m. which makes it convenient for people who need to catch an early flight. There was plenty of seating in the breakfast room.
One thing to consider about this hotel is that it is close to the I-205 Freeway and the Portland Airport, which makes it convenient in that respect, but if auto and plane noise bother you, you might want to choose a different location. We didn't have a problem sleeping, but others might.
All in all we had a good experience and will probably stay here again, but we would try a room with 2 queen beds in hopes that it would give us more room to move around and so we wouldn't have to sit on the bed to watch TV.
