“The Price is Right”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2010
2
people found this review helpful

This is a good choice if price is an issue and you want to be close to downtown Portland. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to the Lloyd Center Mall and 5 minutes to a Denny's, Red Robin, Wndy's and McD. The tram and trains are right by the hotel. The amenities include microwave, fridge, hairdryer, ironing board and TV. No coffeemaker or shampoo. The beds are okay for one or two nighs... after that you'll start minding the bed springs. This being downtown and where the trains run, there is street noise. If you're a light sleeper, you won't enjoy staying here at all.

But the price is fair and the location is very convenient. It's a typical Motel 6 and travelers who often stay at this chain know what to expect... reasonably clean accomodations at a price that's at the low end of the scale. I'd stay here again.

“Great Motel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2010

people found this review helpful

After reading some previous reviews of this motel I was skeptical of staying here but the price attracted me to stay here.. It was $75 dollars Less then the Red Lion next door. The room is VERY clean the bathroom is SPOTLESS. doesnt smell bad. There is some noise from the train. the heater in tv block the train noise well. This is a Great place try it out for yourself.

“Free Wifi - no really!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Motel is a standard Motel 6 with two exceptions. Firstly it has free Wifi - I don't see that very often and never at a Motel 6 before. It's very slow but I was able to check my email on my iPod. Unfortunately there is no laundry which is also very unusual for a Motel 6.

Even though it is downtown there aren't a lot of places to eat nearby. I'd say there's only half a dozen or so places within three blocks of the motel. The tram runs right by the motel so I expect you could use that to find more stuff if you wanted.

Rooms are clean, modern and standard sized. Motel staff is polite and competent.

“No problems at all”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Clean, quiet, ordinary motel room, just what I wanted. Fridge, microwave, iron and board provided with room and everything worked. Free local phone calls and free parking. Great price; excellent value for money. Right on the MAX tram line from the airport, and MAX rides to and from downtown are FREE. Not really downtown, and neighborhood lacks glamor, but lots of restaurants and Lloyd (shopping) Center a short walk away.

“MY STAY WAS SIMPLY DREADFUL!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2010

Although the place was okay, I had the worst night's sleep in 2 weeks in the States. The comments of the earlier reviewers ring true: for whatever reason, there is something going on in other rooms at all hours. I didn't want to investigate! The structure of the motel creaks, so all you hear all night are footfalls of people walking/stomping around. This went on till 3 am. The service was indifferent, and (unusually in the US), no breakfast. And that was not delivered with a smile, either. Spend a few more dollars/pounds and stay somewhere decent.
