When checking in they charge you $75 incidental fee, from that fee they charge you $13 a night for parking. I was not told of the $13 night parking and I find it to be sneaky and underhanded. The hotel is run down many of the features are dated and worn out. They had prostitutes checking into the hotel when I was there. So if you don't mind spending the night with Trixie and or bubbles turning tricks in the room next door it's a great place to stay!

Needs renovations and updates bad!!!

I stayed at this hotel in a recent business trip and chose it mainly to save a few bucks and not overpay for parking fees for the four days I was in Portland. You definitely get what you pay for at the end of the day. The hotel is old AC systems Carpet wallpaper all extremely dated. Smells like that a retirement home when you walk in. The fitness center wasn’t great as most of the machinery didn’t work, TVs had been removed and other than having it to myself really had no upside the continental breakfast consisted of bagels instant oatmeal, and hard boiled eggs. Quite frankly, this reminds me of an Econolodge or a Travelodge or some other thrifty price point hotel likely to find a better deal or just pay the premium to stay at a nicer hotel next visit.
The dated AC system adds to the ancient odor in the room
The housekeeping left us shredded old, torn towels upon cleaning

Customer service was great at check-in, I did not like that the front desk didn't advice me about a back door for easy access to my room instead of carrying everything thru the lobby and all the way to my room, bathtub was a bit dirty, also beds were little, and another thing is that I had to pay for parking which I feel should be free because I'm staying at property.
