Unbeknownst to us at the time of booking, there is a night club adjacent to the property. The bass was extremely loud and the noise could not be shut out even with the fan on at full blast. And it went on until 2am. We had to check out after the first night and book another hotel to actually get some sleep. The front desk claimed we'd be reimbursed for the other two nights, but have received nothing. We were expecting the no-frills motel experience, considering the price. The room was clean-ish, with a strong cleaning product scent that did not dispel. The room was not fully lit, the ceiling had a poorly patched up crack. So, nothing amazing, but we didn't see any bugs and the staff seemed friendly enough. If not for the extremely loud night club, we would've probably toughed it out for the full three nights.

For the price it’s a decent motel, small room. Pretty clean except some of the furniture and lamps had scratches, ripped lamp shades, scratched nightstands and desk. The bed was comfortable, the free parking was nice, and it was quiet when we went between Monday-Thursday. Again for the price it was much better than a motel 6 or anything like that. We would come back and stay.

It was in a horrible area with a dirty strip club on the same property. You could hear everything through the walls like the couple having adult relations all night. It was a horrible experience and wont be back

The person that checked us in was nice and helpful. The first room we checked into reeked of cigarette smoke then we got put into another room and there was mold in the shower, fingerprints above the bedframe, half of the lights not working and the ones that did let out an egregious noise and there was hair in the bathroom. Top it off the elevator was not working but to be fair they said it just happened. There was also a decent amount of noise around 12 in the morning coming from surrounding area. Had struggles with the keypad and had to get a new card one time which was very inconvenient especially at 10:30 at night. The ceiling seemed unsafe as it looked like it was caving in. Again the front desk people were good solid people.

A very good value

The Eastside Lodge is a basic motel ideally situated in the center of Portland and very reasonably priced. The location and price make up for the average decor and comfort of the room. Not a romantic place, but a convenient one to go explore the city, on foot (it's easy to find bars, restaurants, etc. just a few minutes away) or by car. And parking is free, which is a great asset.

Overall ok stay, close proximity to a lot of places and some great restaurants. It was also at a great price and free parking. The only 3 issues we had there - The elevator broke down in the middle of the night and we had to take the stairs . Also had the firefighters come in to get us out of the elevator which broke down. The staff helped facilitate but they appeared to be shortstaffed . Definitely not anyone’s fault, but speaks to the property needing a little bit more upkeep and maintenance. The parking though free, is not guaranteed. People who know about the free parking but not necessarily patrons , randomly park here which may lead to lack of spots if you come late on a weekend( we were here on Friday night). The staff did inform us about the same so we were able to wait till someone left their spot. It’s also a little noisy but we’re not light sleepers so didn’t have an issue with that. But someone who may be a light sleeper maybe disturbed by the noise from other patrons or just general Portland downtown

My daughter and I were there for a concert at the Moda Center. I was afraid of coming back to the hotel late. It was well lit and people were dining and walking at night. There's is a list of food places that are within walking distance to the hotel that helped us explore other food options and walk.
