This was my second stay at this hotel, and the staff was so nice and accommodating. If you need a place to stay while in the area, I highly recommend it. The staff was friendly, and the hotel was clean.
Room was spacious ( home away from home for sure!) and very clean. The staff was extremely friendly and gave us great suggestions on where to eat since we were visiting! Will definitely come back if I ever visit Portland again.
Honestly happily surprised at the room for the price. The staff was communicative and kind and the room was clean and spacious. I’d definitely come back.
Hotel was very new and clean. Nikki (I believe is her name) the operations manager was FANTASTIC when Doordash delivered my food to the wrong hotel next door and even called over for me and offered to go get it for me. Because this hotel is so new, it sends Doordash to the Homewood Suites next door because it doesn't show up on their map. I will definitely be staying here again!
As I’ve stayed in many hotels in the area, this one is by far the cleanest quietest, and best location, and the staff has been extremely helpful. As long as the clientele doesn’t decline, this is an excellent place to stay.
This room was very nice for the price. It’s set up like a mini condo with a living room area, stove and near full-size refrigerator in the kitchen area and plenty of storage. It also has a large window in the bedroom area. The bed was also pretty comfortable. All in all it is definitely a great value in a great area with many shopping and dinning options. We will definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
There is no one on the property, all check in was via AI. The kitchen equipment was adequate for a several day stay. I was booking for a single night for work in Portland. The room was quiet and the bed comfortable.
