Quite possibly the most disgusting hotel room I have ever been in. I booked this online at http://Hotels.com and was not expecting fancy accommodations - but the filth level in this room was frightening. There was not a surface that wasn't covered in stains. I was afraid to sit on the bed or chair, so I sat on the floor while I called http://Hotels.com to find another hotel. Bad move, the carpet may have been worse than any other surface. After getting the run around from http://Hotels.com and numerous disconnects we just left. I can't imagine the illness and bedbugs we would have brought home had we stayed there.

The gentleman at the front desk was pleasant and did not seem at all surprised that we were leaving!

Firstly, the comfort of the place left much to be desired, as it was old, tacky and very poorly lit. The front desk staff failed to follow payment instructions and double charged us for the room. I called the mistake in to the manager, who saw fit to get frustrated with me instead of ever apologizing. I don't know if I will ever get the refund back, but I am positive that I will never stay at this hotel again until they change management AND remodel.

This hotel (formerly Best Western) definitely shows it's age; however, it was an OK stay. The room was clean and comfortable; the bed firm to average; good water pressure w/ hot water in the bathroom (the blow dryer, though, was on the opposite wall from the outlet so you had to remove the whole dryer in order to plug it in); and cable TV (the remote, though, turned the TV off but did not work to turn it on) as well as a coffee maker. The room was on the quieter side of the hotel (I say quieter because one could still hear the road noise). Check in / out was easy and parking was free. You do need to overlook the age.... the carpets are dated (and worn in spots); the walls clean but the wallpaper does have some cracks in spots; older lamps, etc. The room did have a slight "old" smell (not musty, just older smell); The hallways in the second floor (don't know about other floors) are less than 7 feet tall and are dimly lit. The doors all have deadbolts and peepholes. Because we had activities at the Convention Center, this hotel was VERY convenient for us. I would stay here again if I could not find a cheaper rate in another nearby hotel (preferably one that offers a breakfast). This hotel has not on-site restaurant (it used to, but it closed some time ago).

The Inn at the convention center is an older hotel, but don't let other people's reviews chase you away. My room was clean, the bedding new, the bed soft-firm, the bathroom clean, the check-in and out no problem. But the hotels age shows in little things like the rug, the mirrow, and nicks in the paint here and there.
I would agree with others, the hotel is getting a bum rap. For the money and convenience I would go there again,
As a side note: what happened to all the restaurants that were by the Portland convention center?
