Location was ok but would be great if you are simply looking to get to PSU. Saw some stains on some bedding and towels so that could definitely be addressed. Stayed for two nights but will probably seek a cleaner looking hotel room elsewhere.

I love this low key, budget inn. Great location, food trucks right across the street, friendly staff. This is about my 6th stay. Rooms are very clean. Bedding is clean fresh and comfortable. The furnishings in the room however were well past their prime. Wall near the shower had water damage. This inn is a very solid good value and experience.

Clean, friendly, excellent location

A no-frills hotel that is clean with excellent customer service. We were in a great location-- literal steps from public transit, a CVS and small grocery store, the University of Portland, green spaces, plus coffee houses and food trucks. Exactly what we were hoping for! My family and I had a great time exploring the city. The coffee in the front office was excellent. My kids discovered the excellent lamb gyros at the first food truck directly across the street-- they went back for the overstuffed gyros and excellent conversation several times. Ask the tall, friendly owner to make them extra spicy! We also recommend the cheese naan and Thai pot stickers/pad se ew at two other little food trucks a little further down in the food truck pod. We will be back!

I stayed at the Econo Inn in Portland for one night in July 2025. the staff was very accommodating. I had called the day before to see if I could check in early and they said 3:30 would be fine usually it's 4:00 p.m.. I got there around 2:30 and they had the room ready before 3:00. and let me go in my room early.

Room was fine but had a strange smell (maybe cleaning supplies, maybe not). Hair dryer not affixed well to the wall so basically fell off when we went to use it. Front desk staff not always easy to communicate with (they were nice just not sure they understood us).

Found the room smelled very strongly of cleaning products as soon as we entered. The bed and bathroom were clean but the floor surfaces felt slightly greasy which I did not like. Staff was very friendly otherwise

I called the front desk to inquire about the room and their policies, the man at the front desk was rude and kept hanging the phone up. He even answered the phone and left my voice talking while he placed the phone down. I was desperate at 2 am PST. I went to the location and was told checkout was at 1 pm but that was a lie. It was actually 11am now I know that’s standard but don’t lie to me to try and collect a late fee. The man at the front desk was upset that I chose to book through Expedia rather than purchasing with him directly. He began to talk to me in a manner to try to get a reaction being rude and even saying just because I booked through Expedia he can say all spots are filled. The room was horrible and smelled like cigarettes. Rips on the bedding and a leaking sound from the mini refrigerator. Luckily I only needed one night DO NOT GO HERE.
