Large room. Comfy bed. 24 hour service desk. Parking available but the spaces are small. There was no plug for the bathtub; I used a washcloth to keep the water in. Also no extra toilet paper and no conditioner. (There was shampoo.) The hotel needs to increase its sustainability and get rid of all of those little plastic bottles.

Bathroom small, narrow & tight. Shower hot water only at maximum with any lower adjustment turning cold fast. Light bulb out. Room was large and included large table, small refrigerator & microwave. Bed had small pillows and low end blankets. Inn is old and worn BUT in reasonable proximity to downtown and transit options.

The Downtown Value Inn offers a good budget alternative to the ridiculously high priced hotels and motels in the downtown Portland area, esp during the annual Waterfront Blues Festival. It is within convenient walking distance to the fest. It offers the basic amenities of a refrigerator, microwave and free Wifi. No in room coffee. The cable TV didn't work during my first day, but the management got it going for the rest of my 4-day stay. There is not enough on site parking to cover all guests, depending of course on the level of occupancy. However, I fortunately arrived early enough to get one. I will reserve a room with them for the 2023 fest.

We were there from June 29 through July 1st. Twin sisters, Nikki and Nicole, were amazing. They helped us with our luggage, answered all our questions, aided with parking and were always gracious and thoughtful. Our room was great with a microwave and a refrigerator. The bed was comfortable. We slept soundly. as the street car we could hear reminded us of San Francisco. The price was wonderful as we were there for the zydeco at The Waterfront Festival and the hotel was located nearby.

... this place came pretty close.

I strongly concur with all the previous reviews: DO NOT STAY HERE .. unless your senses are dulled by mind-altering drugs so that you can filter out the unpleasantries.

Regrettably, I managed to book this place for 3 nights through Expedia. The package looked alright and the location was ideal. As I approached the place however, I knew I made a big mistake.

First of all, I was greeted by the guy who worked at the front desk who looked like he just got up, hung over. It was noon. It took him some time to process the fact that I was a guest who had reserved a room (I guess it doesn't happen very often as I suspect most people use the rooms on an hourly basis).

He gave me my room key and asked for a five dollar deposit. When I gave him a ten, he cried "Aw man!", because getting change was like the single most arduous task he had to do all day.

Then the fun began. As I opened the door to my room, the stench of old cigarettes permeated. Smoke stains all over the walls. The window was open and this let in some flies which had the misfortune to enter this room. Cigarette burns were on the sheets. Everything was old and run down.

Bathroom: no hairdryer, no shampoo, very worn out towelletries. At least there was running water which was hot.

Amenities: no clock radio, no remote control for the TV (although you didn't want to spend time in the room watching TV anyway). There was a microwave and fridge, but I didn't check if they were in working order because the last thing anyone would want to do is eat here. Air conditioner didn't work.

If it weren't for the Rose Festival and non-vacancy at other hotels, I would not have stayed, but I endured it.

The only good thing about this hotel (and that is really being generous) is the location, but I would have gladly paid more to have stayed somewhere else.

Portland is a very safe city, however I did not feel secure in this place at all.

Unless you're into slumming, I would avoid this place altogether

We booked this place through Expedia on their "special rate" discount for 47 bucks. We figured that if it was on Expedia, it'd be a basic, no-frills, clean place. We've stayed in flea-bag hotels across Europe, and we're pretty flexible about most things.

We left this hotel after being there for 20 minutes. At 2 AM. Dead tired. But we WERE NOT going to sleep there.

The whole place kind of smelled and looked run-down. Our room reeked of cigarette smoke and god-knows-what. There were ashes all around the sink. The walls were stained and I was afraid to sit on the bed. Everything was dirty and smelly.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!

I wish I'd read the other reviews before booking. Don't make our mistake!

Upon arrival the room and beds had obvious signs of bed bugs. We immediately left. When speaking to the management on our way out he was extremely rude and refused to refund our money. Since we were past the cancellation period there was nothing we could do. We found another hotel that was more expensive, but definitely better than bringing home bed bugs!!

I would probably give this place only one star, but it did have a few redeeming qualities so I wouldn't really qualify it as "terrible". The location is great - basically right in downtown Portland so you can walk everywhere. The staff was also very friendly and well-meaning - they let us look at 5-6 different rooms and pick which one we wanted.
Finally, the price just can't be beat! On the downside...it is kind of a funky place. Definitely not somewhere your average tourist would want to stay, but probably acceptable for younger, backpacker/student types or those who just want the basics.

Half of the hotel seemed like a drab residential hotel with apartment like rooms (neon beer signs in the kitchenettes was an interesting touch) including some with hot tubs. However, we ended up staying in a separate part of the hotel which was more like your average motel room and that was perfectly fine. No frills, but for that price, I wasn't expecting any.

I just stayed here for a night because I was visiting a friend the next day, so I was looking for a place to get a few hours of sleep and a shower before she got in from the airport (I wasn't even there 8 hours). I have traveled a lot, and am usually not too picky about where I stay. The biggest concern I had was if the location was okay, because I had never been to Portland before. The location was great! Everything around the hotel looks brand new, so as I was walking there I thought it wouldn't be so bad. When I got to the outside it was definitely older and more run down than the rest of the area. When I first got there no one was at the desk. I literally sat there for 20 minutes until finally someone came. They got all my info and then said I needed $5 cash to get a room key (luckily I had time to get caah before leaving Seattle). I got the key and went to my room. It was old, everything pretty run down, but the bed was clean so I didn't care too much. The light above the bed flickered non-stop, so I had to turn it off and use the bathroom light and my phone for a light when I needed it. I got a few hours of sleep and then got up to take a shower. When I turned the shower on water sprayed everywhere. I did my best to cover ut with the shower curtain, but the shower head leak was so bad water was everywhere. I then kept the shower on for about 10 minutes and it never got hot, it never even got warm. The bathroom was soaked, so I decided the shower wasn't worth it and did my best to clean up the water.

This is my first time writing a bad review, and I would have been okay with this place if I could have at least taken a shower! It sucks because it has so much potential and the location is amazing (the only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1), but it has no upkeep whatsoever. If you're looking for a place for the rest, and don't care about a shower then this place would be okay, but I'm definitely staying somewhere different next time I visit Portland.

Responded 27 Jul 2014
Thank you for posting your review here on TripAdvisor. The opinions of our guests are very important to us. We were disappointed to hear about the troubles you encountered during your stay with us. We apologize that you had such a long wait to check in, and that the facilities did not meet your expectations. Especially things as fundamental as the shower and the hot water. Was the front desk staff unable to provide a different room when asked? Of course if the property was fully booked that day it might not have been possible. We try to respond to issues with the rooms as soon as possible in order to ensure our patrons are comfortable. We would like very much to hear more from you about your time with us at the Downtown Value Inn. We can be reached at guestrelations@downtownvalueinn.com.

So I needed a hotel for 2 weeks as close as possible to PSU. This place was it, and was really reasonably priced too, so despite some mixed reviews I booked it. The place is no 5-star hotel, so I didn't expect anything fancy. At first glance the rooms were a little run-down but clean, and the bedding looked spotless. I checked for signs of bed bugs and found none, so I was happy enough to stay there. The walls are really thin and the heating/AC is hard to control, but for the price those are things I could deal with. The restaurant/bar attached is pretty nice too and the beds were comfortable, so for the first week I was very satisfied.

After my first week I noticed a couple of itchy bites on my skin. Thinking they must have been mosquitoes, I ignored them until the next few nights when I started waking up with more every day. I flipped the mattress and tore the room apart looking for bed bugs but didn't find any, so I convinced myself it was my imagination. However, the final night I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I felt something crawling on me. I turned on the light and found two bed bugs crawling in the sheets! I grabbed them and stuck them in a plastic bag (photo included here), packed up and left at 3AM. The manager obviously wasn't there at that time, but I left the bag of bugs with the front desk and asked the manager to call me.

After a few days of trying to contact him I finally got a hold of him and he said he was not willing to compensate me in any way for the bed bugs since I had stayed the whole time. He said they "used to have an infestation", but about a month ago they fumigated the whole place and replaced the mattresses (that's why they looked so clean!) so surely I must have brought these bed bugs with me and it was my fault! He said if they were there I would have noticed them the first week, so I must have got them from somewhere else (even though I only slept in his hotel the whole time in Portland). If anyone knows anything about bed bugs (see http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/bedbugs/faqs.html , if you don't), the bites may not appear for up to two weeks depending on the person, and they are becoming increasingly resistant to chemicals so it's very likely his exterminator wasn't thorough enough. Not to mention no wonder there weren't any signs of them in the mattresses yet, the bedding was new and they're hiding somewhere else!

In any case, despite my repeated reassurances that I had stayed nowhere else in Portland, the manager was unwilling to refund me any portion of my bill (pretty standard to do so in the hotel industry), leaving me to deal with luggage decontamination and dry cleaning bills myself, not to mention the lost sleep and itching.

In short, DON'T STAY HERE!
