Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Friendly family run establishment. Great, central location. Extremely close to trendy and delicious Mississippi Ave Just 3 max stops away from the Moda center. Short walk to beautiful Overlook park ( best view of the city and Willamette River IMHO). Stop in, say hi, and smell the roses Stay a night or two. You won't be disappointed. Ample parking.”
“Excellent lower priced Motel. The owner is very, very kind. The rooms are clean and the price is affordable. My house is getting new plumbing and my water has to be turned off for about 3 weeks. This has left me stranded! I work 12 hour night shifts at a hospital and need quiet to sleep during day time! This place is perfect and affordable! Located right by the max line.”
“Good motel for the price. Lady at desk was very nice, no problems getting into rooms. Walls in room were cracked, bathroom not the nicest but the beds were nice. Also no wifi when we stayed. For the price, its a good place to stay.”
“Love it Very affordable. Decent rooms. Lovely old man who works here basically by himselfand he is so sweet! Security deposite is $50 Can buy online for even cheaper! Not over crowded. Been here forever!”
