The hotel staff is consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. The location is convenient for many, although the surrounding area is often described as sketchy or unsafe. Breakfast is a highlight for many guests, but there are some complaints about cleanliness and maintenance issues in the rooms.

    The breakfast was good and very convenient. The room smelled like an old smoking room with added scent trying to cover it up. I kept the window open and that helped. Bed was very comfortable.

    There’s a restaurant next to the hotel called Elmer’s and we walked over there a few times. The food was good and the customer service was excellent one night. We had a pizza delivered and they had plates and forks and knives downstairs we could use. I would stay here again although the traffic noise was kinda loud through the windows and there seems to be a few homeless people around, but they didn’t bother us

    Breakfast had a lot of choices and the food was good. It’s right next door to an Elmer’s restaurant for meals other than breakfast. The pool looked great but the weather did not cooperate.

    In all my years of hotel stays, I've never encountered a charge to access a room that was already available just one hour early. Out of principle, I chose to wait until the official check-in time. Aside from that experience, the stay itself was fine.

    The area has a high number of homeless or other residents so to enter the building, you had to press a button and have you verify you are checking in. It is not a welcoming issue for guests but understandable.

    Close to the airport and calling for the shuttle for pickup and return to airport early next morning was seamless. The pool area looked great but we were on a 12 hour layover overnight and unfortunately couldn't use it. Our room overlooked the pool area and had a patio. There was a restaurant right next door to this hotel and that was very convenient for us weary travelers. I would book this again.

    Staff offered me free cancellation due to lack of water and contacted another BW property in order to clarify availability and room rates. Instead of having dinner, I was forced to look for alternative and affordable accomodation at short notice. Actually BW should provide this service and pay for surcharges in this case.

    The hotel is unique and has a lot of character - it's not too cookie cutter. I came in after midnight, but the desk clerk gave me the full check-in orientation and got me situated quickly after a tiring day. The room was neat and functional.

    The room and hotel were comfortable and well appointed for a low cost stay before or after a flight. The breakfast was great - a true full breakfast - toast, bagels, bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs and fresh cooked waffles (along with some cod cereal). Breakfast far exceeded the typical “breakfast included” of most places like this. Highly recommend this as a stop before or after flights or for a short stay in Portland area. It was only 6 minutes from rental car pickup to this hotel.

    I hated my stay here. Thank God it was just one night. It looked like it was in a time warp from the 1980’s with ugly brown furniture that had the veneers scuffed, really bad coffee for the room, cheap shampoo and soap, thin towels. My room faced the highway so it was really noisy. Soundproofing or a white noise machine would have been nice. The worst part was when I left my room to get dinner at the overpriced and bad food in the restaurant next door. When I came back to the room and used my key card the door wouldn’t open and I was locked out with all my things inside. I went to the front desk and 2 clerks couldn’t open it either. It turned out the security latch somehow got flipped closed when I left. I was very upset as I had a very long day traveling and had an early flight the next morning. It ended up with them calling the manager. He took 20 minutes to get there( not his fault because he didn’t live that close to the hotel). He had to break the door frame to get in and he put me in another room The whole thing took about an hour and a half. I felt that they should have given me the room for free. Also I didn’t like that all you could watch on the tv were cable stations. No streaming services at all. The free shuttle to the airport was good but the driver prattled on about her life and how she was so poor. TMI if you know what I mean. Stay somewhere else.

    I enjoyed using the facilities: sauna, pool & hot tub. The bed was pretty comfy (my husband doesn't agree). The location is good if you're trying to be near the airport, but we had to take an Uber to get around downtown Portland. I wish the pool/hot tub was open longer 9:00-10:00 PM didn't allow for us to use the facilities more than once.

    The hotel had a large entry and foyer, where you could see through to the pool in the central courtyard. There were chairs and table to set out near the pool. The property was clean and well maintained. Our room was large and comfortable. The free breakfast was fully stocked and "complete" by hotel standards. I can't recall anything I didn't like!

    The breakfast was great, thank you. However, I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness of the room I booked. There was sand-like debris on the floor near the AC/heater unit, and I found hair on the bathroom wall and in the bathtub. The room did not appear to have been properly cleaned before our arrival. Unfortunately, this will be our first and last stay at this hotel. I hope this feedback can help improve your housekeeping standards.

    The best part of this location is the proximity to the light rail. The breakfast was not very vegan friendly (waffles, sausage, potatoes, eggs, oatmeal, coffee). The shuttle was not available when I arrived at the airport at midnight, the front desk said I would need to take an uber or lyft. I guess the shuttle driver had left at 11. The interior of the property is showing some age. But the front desk folks were always kind and the listed amenities were all there.

    After a long day of travel, I arrived late at night and immediately ran into issues. The first room had an overwhelming, unbearable odor and had to be changed. When I got to my own room around 11 PM, I found it in a clearly unsanitary condition, including visible blood that indicated it had not been properly cleaned. At that hour, I had no option to relocate as I was traveling with two elderly men and their dogs, so relocating at 11:00pm was not an option and I had to stay. I ended up using my own pillow and blanket because I did not feel comfortable using anything in the room. This was not just an inconvenience, it was a serious cleanliness and safety issue. I would strongly caution others before staying here. This property failed to meet even basic standards of cleanliness and guest care.

    I stayed for 3 nights. The person who checked me in was nice and made me feel welcomed. The room was clean however the water in the sink would not drain completely every time I used it. The hand soap was empty however I asked one of the housekeepers to add soap to the bathroom and they did. Breakfast is served only until 9am so you do have to wake up a little early to get it. The options for breakfast were good. The hot tub being open and being an option was nice.

    My room had a trailer park view and was right by an exit that goes to the outside courtyard area so I heard every time someone entered or exited. And you could hear everything going on upstairs. Room is dimly lit and very outdated. The only actual curtains were white see through thin ones so I had little actual privacy and no way of blocking out the light in the morning. Would not likely return to this hotel.

    I stumbled upon breakfast in the am when I was about to go out for breakfast. The location of the hotel was good for my needs but it is in a very sketchy neighborhood. I was outside for less than 10 minutes and had several prostitutes walk by. I'm pretty sure they were prostitutes as one had NOTHING but an unbuttoned jacket on. The view out window was of several homeless tents and the freeway entrance.

    My biggest issue here is there are 3 different BW in the airport area and one shuttle came by a couple of times still waiting for the right BW shuttle. And to have to smell all the exhaust and fuel fumes while waiting. The shuttle is only 10 minutes away, it took ger 45 minutes to arrive. Go figure!!

    My stay was OK given the overall experience. I'm borderline wanting to say poor, but some things are out of the properties control given location and demograph. There were a lot of homeless around. My first night, someone was literally camped out directly below my room window. Like leaning against the exterior wall of my room. It was cleaned up the next morning though. The road is almost unbearably loud, insulation is obviously lacking. The room smelled horrible, and the lounge chair was gross and I wouldn't even place my suitcase on it. The facility is actually pretty nice and modern, but I didn't sleep well at all between the road noise, foul smell, and a non stop dog barking in a homeless camp about 40 feet from my window. The place is trying, but Portland is not exactly working to help businesses stay comfortable. My room wasn't made up after my second night, no big deal, but I had to request more towels from the front desk. The hallways smelled like marijuana smoke, and people were openly smoking it all around the entire property. This is NOT a family place, not for kids, and not for anyone looking to relax. Just a bed and shower.

    We used the hotel because it was close to the airport. When we opened the curtain we looked out on a homeless camp. We are aware that this is a problem with the city and they were not on the hotel property, but they might want to put up a fence. I like to keep my curtains opened but didn’t feel comfortable, because if I could see them, they can see me and there was nothing to keep them from walking up to my ground level room. I do feel for the homeless, and wish the city would find some kind of housing where they are safe and have running water and bathrooms.

    It started with the site not specifying their pool/hot tub are outside and therefore seasonal. Then, the swing shift staff were the most inhospitable, as if answering my questions were an imposition. The only reason I had to go up there was to ask for another towel because there were only 2 in the room with 2 adults. I have hit flashes and sometimes shower twice a day to stay fresh.

    The only thing is there is a low income RV park next to the diner In the parking lot. I've never had a problem at all, just turns rough quickly. Has great easy highway access and the pool is our fav of any hotel in the area that I've stayed at. We go every year for soccer tournaments and all the families and kids love it. We will return. The employees have been the same each year which is a good sign!

    - close to airport - clean rooms and hotel. Has microwave, refrigerator and bed felt comfortable. - has pool if one wants to enjoy Cons: - parking area feels little unsafe during the night with unauthorized people passing by randomly - the breakfast was supposed to be better but was very limited during my stay (i was told the employee responsible for breakfast has called sick. However, the hotel should be equipped to find a replacement)

    I’m not from the Portland area so I was just crossing my fingers that the reviews were reliable, I can say they were. The hotel is in an ideal part of Portland, we were so close to everything. The parking lot isn’t the biggest, but it feels safe and is clean. The hotel itself is clean and requires your keycard for entrance after you check in which made it feel safe. Our room was well kept, however our AC didn’t work. We called the front desk and they offered to switch us rooms, we decided to stick it out but were very appreciative of their offer. They had plenty of breakfast options, I would recommend.

    We stay at this hotel every time we visit family in Portland. We choose this hotel partly because it includes breakfast. On our last morning we were informed that the breakfast room was closed because they had no one to run it. There really should be a back up plan for that. We were in a hurry and that threw off our entire schedule. Only after we asked about a compensation did we receive a $20 credit

    There were encampments directly on the walkway outside the entrance doors. The door to our room had been very obviously broken through at one point and "repaired" with glue and not fully repaired at all, was still loose, and not secure at all. The tub was lined with black mold and stained, very unclean. The entrance door to the building is locked, thank god, but when I used the bell to get in (no key until you check in) the front desk attendant was irritated that it was quiet hours and the bell had been used - how else am I supposed to gain access? Very sketchy surroundings, very unwelcoming staff, and very unclean rooms. I requested a refund within the same hour of booking and showing up and was refused even though it was a matter of cleanliness and safety - stay away.
