Liked: Cleanliness
Over the last couple of years we have always stayed at this location for simplicity and proximity to the train station/system. This trip we noticed that the included breakfast has been severely limited and reduced. Part of the reason we have selected this hotel was because the breakfast was great. in 2025 that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. In its place is automated pancake maker and something that resembles eggs... The juice selection is now more watered down than ever and overall selection is very limited. What happened?

The hotel itself was very nice , the staff were always pleasant , warm and helpful. We brought our dog and needed to walk him late , there was always a staff member at the front desk. The continental breakfast was well stocked and really tasty. The only complaint was the surrounding area , lots of homeless and drug addicted but that is not the fault of the hotel

Never again !!

The Hotel appears to be on the verge of closing. It was cold and drafty we had the mini split in our room set to 80 and it had to turn on and off every 5 minutes to keep our room warm. Receptionist was not rude but not friendly either. Water pressure was low. Soap container on the wall in the shower are no longer filled but gross soap is in them. They don't tell you that parking is extra and add it at the end. Small computer size tv. Lamp type phone charger outlets half didn't work. Mattress was soft and old. Gotta love Portland food trucks around the corner and human poop in the parking lot. Food trucks are another story . I'm not a Karen by the way. I usually find the food in things but I couldn't find anything in this one other than the location is close to OHSU.
