Very dirty. There was a container of food left in the mini fridge. So when i opened it i was immediately hit with a foul stench. Behind the tv was a crushed box of whatever the previous people left. The trash underneath the sink was not emptied out. There's also no fan in the bathroom, at least that i was aware of.

I liked the breakfast. What I didn't like was that the toilet was plugged couldn't get someone to come fix it. So we couldn't really use it.

Do not recommend. I had a family emergency and reached out to the hotel to see if they could either refund or change the date of my stay. Unfortunately, they showed no sympathy or understanding towards my situation. Despite my desperate plea, they refused to accommodate my request and I was left feeling abandoned and helpless. It's disheartening to see a lack of compassion from a hospitality establishment, and I would caution others to think twice before booking a stay at this heartless hotel.

The grounds around the edge of the rooms were very unkept and not maintained. It was disappointing as the azaleas and rhododendrons were gorgeous, but the grounds themselves were extremely unkept. It made me want to go to work making them gorgeous as they have great potential…

This place was bad for so many reasons. 1. We found an uncapped NEEDLE on the floor of our room! Not where I expected to see that in Portland, but there you go. 2. Our fridge didn’t work. They fixed it when asked on day #2 3. Our hairdryer didn’t work. They got it to work only on low/cool, so basically they didn’t fix it. 4. The room smelled smoky/dusty. On the upside, the cleaner was sweet and the beds were comfortable. Location is a bit out, but fine. The manager 'addressed' these matters by comping our parking & the room for one night...should have been the whole thing for all of these issues, but especially one so dangerous with the needle.
