Listed prior info

Friendly and very helpful staff when we had a problem with our phone. On site restaurant and bar (Copper Smith Inn) was convenient. Nice amenities (pool and gym). Breakfast was good.

Can't recall anything in particular. We've been traveling for six weeks so have stayed in a lot of hotels/motels. What I want in my rooms are two chairs (some only have one for a room for two people), an ironing board and iron, a full length mirror, fluffy towels, a fridge and hairdryer. I also prefer pump pack hand soap and shower gel (bar soaps are wasted and make a mess). These are standard in some hotels, others not so. Also important to us is somewhere to have dinner as we have been tired after traveling and don't want to drive to town to find a restaurant.

The room was clean, the bed was pretty comfy

The breakfast was awful. Hardly any food, little ham circles and scrambled egg patties, cold cereal, bread but no potatoes or cheese or anything. They also only have regular creamer which kinda stunk. The food they did have out was very small quantities like they didn't make enough and we went down only an hour after they started it. There was also unattended kids in the pool doing cannonballs next to us making the pool experience kinda crappy but it is heated and indoor and was amazing before they came in and ran us off.

The location was great, the bed was comfortable, the room was fine, the value great, no carpet was a bonus, and the sink in with the toilet and one outside the bathroom is a great design. Although I didn't use bed them, having a microwave, frig, and coffee maker would have been great.

The tightness of the made-up bed, the noisy group across the hall, the smell of weed in the night, not having the breakfast available only the go bags

We loved the price and the location. My kids loved the pool and the fact that it stayed open so late! The room size was great - we are a family of four and there was plenty of room for us in the room without us feeling cramped.

I did not like the complimentary breakfast. The breakfast room was small, very busy and I felt like I was constantly getting in the way of other people. Breakfast options were lacking.

The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, although it is a bit far from downtown Portland. If you drive, this may not be an issue, as Portland is not a large city. The hotel has a pool and serves breakfast. The staff are friendly and bring fresh towels every day, but they did not make our beds during our stay. Parking is plus.

Good choices at breakfast. The lady who is working gat the dining area was very helpful and friendly.

Night staff at reception could be more friendly. Also, I asked for assistance regarding our bathroom , and was told that someone was going to have a look at the problem, but the person never came.

It was safe and comfortable. Located in a perfect space. And the attached restaurant was amazing. The free breakfasts were delicious. The pool was warm and clean.

I can’t reach the front desk because my phone wasn’t working but that wasn’t too big of a problem for me.

The breakfast was phenomenal and the hotel was very clean.

The only thing that caught us off guard was a stain on a set of sheets on one of the beds. We just shifted the blankets so it was off the bed. Just a little unsettling.

Nice hotel with a friendly staff, the rooms were spacious enough, and the breakfast was OK. Even though the hotel is somewhat on the outskirts of Portland, it's still within a 10-minute driving distance from downtown.
