i stayed for two weeks in a large suite. the location did not matter to me because i travel with my folding bike allowing to reach the city center in 15 minutes. for others there is a bus.

the room was clean and it felt cozy. breakfast is simple offering some cereal, toast,pancakes, juice and coffee. a coin operated laundry is in the hotel which i found very convenient.
tv offers the basic channels and some limited films, no sport channels. their wireless internet worked most of the time even though sometimes the signal was too weak in my suite because it is located at the end of the building.
i noticed that many long term residents live in this hotel. it seems that they offer low rates for extended stay.
service was good. once a neighbor made a lot of noise. the manager assured me that he would stop the noise and warn the person who was one of the long term tenants. the following days were quiet again.

I don't recall ever being legitimately scared for my life while staying in a hotel, until we stayed here. There are numerous meth-heads living in the building and there was constant shouting and screaming inside and out. Lets just say the cops are frequent visitors. And there is absolutely no surveillance for the parking garage and some crazy guy was wondering around looking into the cars when we pulled in. We felt completely uncomfortable the entire time and nervous about leaving our room.
The only positive thing I can say is that the young lady at the desk was very friendly and helpful with answering our questions. She seemed very out of place.
Still, Not worth the money, not even if it were free.

We stayed on arrival in July, then again after touring the states in September. They even stored our suitcases for all that time.
Great staff. Cannot fault this hotel. Even have airport pick up and drop off.

You've been warned. We initially picked this hotel because we were moving to Portland and needed a place to stay with our two cats for an extended period of time. The rate was so cheap, cheaper than our previous rent actually, and that should have been a warning sign. It felt like a lot of people were living in the hotel rather than merely staying there. The first strike against the place was when the US marshals came and arrested 2 fugitives. I thought to myself, don't be too judgmental, it could happen anywhere makes for a good story. The second strike was when I overheard the hotel staff firmly warning a hotel guest that they shouldn't do illegal drugs at the hotel and that it wasn't safe. I thought to myself, well it is Portland and who knows if they are talking meth or merely pot. But the third strike was when our two loads of laundry were stolen out of the dryer as they were drying! When we reported it to the hotel staff they were nice enough about it, but sort of sighed in frustration as if to say not again. They said they would review the security tapes and if a "tenant" stole the clothes then they would kick them out but said there was nothing else they could do. We were basically left with the clothes we had on. The money we saved on the hotel we ended up spending on a new wardrobe. The tacky outdated decor, the uncomfortable bed, no dishes in a kitchenette, and that strange smell, I can all look past for cost. But when it comes to my safety, I must draw the line. All three of these incidents sent us searching for another hotel. Who knows what all would have happened if I stayed another week?
