Where is the Best Budget Hotel in Portland, Oregon?
My wife and I were in PDX for the 4th of July weekend, and chose this hotel for its proximity to downtown, Amtrak station, public transportation, etc. The hotel staff is exceedingly polite and friendly, and hotel is neat and clean. It is close to rose garden, but is in a quieter neighborhood, across the street from a Crown Plaza hotel. Bus stop, and MAX light rail stations are a 5 minute walk southwards, and those are even free if you’re just going downtown across the river. There is even a 7-11 behind. You get a mini fridge, nice TV, etc. They even gave us a 20% off coupon for the next stay. The only problem is that the walls/ceilings are thin, so you could hear stuff going on in other rooms.

This hotel has a convenience store adjacent to it and it is across a side street from a MacDonald’s restaurant. It is also a short drive to a Shari’s restaurant. It also is less than a mile from I-205.This hotel made me feel respected: I belong to the Choice Rewards program and I was able to stay half an hour or so past the normal check out time.
I have stayed at this hotel before and decided to stay again and wrote a review of my earlier stay. This hotel is located on Broadway in a prime shopping area (Nordstrom, Macy’s, Banana Republic, St. John, Columbia, Nike, etc.). The front desk staff is extremely friendly. My only negative experience is with the woman who works at the concierge…
