The hotel was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. There were also a lot of security cameras which help to add to peace of mind. Very reasonable price for the accommodations.
Steer clear--there are much better places

I've stayed in 8-10 different hotels in the Portland area, some over and over. Tried this place because I like to swim in a pool. The pool was clean, but a high vibrating whining noise was intolerable. (And I really TRIED and WANTED to swim..!!!) When I mentioned this to the staff the next am, they were indifferent and claimed it didn't exist.
The bed was VERY uncomfortable, likewise the giant foam pillow. The room was dark and depressing.
There are MUCH better deals and rooms in the Portland area. This is a kind of "take-your-money-and-we-dont-care" place.
Notice the lack of interior photos offered by this hotel? That should be a clue...
Pleasantly Surprised

Our room was great, recently renovated with newer carpets. The beds were comfy; the pool area was EXCELLENT. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The common areas were neat and clean and the free computer access was also a bonus. We travel extensively and appreciate how important maintenance is to a property that has not been recently constructed. The updates here are extensive and ongoing. Newer fencing ; an impeccable pool area ; new beds and good linens were all part of our experience.
Awful Place!

Rate was $*/night and the a/c was broken. We were on the 2nd floor so tried opening the sliding glass door but there were people partying in the parking lot. Very loud, filthy language and the next morning there were beer bottles and broken glasses all around behind my car. The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were these huge horrible foam rubber things. We slept about 1 hour and paid thru the nose for it. This place is a real dump!
good

Was a good place to lay our heads, the hot tubs (2) were nice, they helped after hours on road and sightseeing!
