Downtown Value Inn

This one star hotel has a very large mini fridge (about 30 inches tall) and a microwave. My current hotel, a Marriot, only has a microwave in the lobby and the mini fridge is half the size in my room. I thought the bed was comfortable, the heater worked well, the water in my room, 46, got hot enough ( some reviews I read said the water was tepid). This hotel has a washer & dryer that guests can use for $1.25 each. Staff was very nice, my train got in 4 hours late and I was worried I would miss my first night, I got help with the best way to get to the hotel and when I arrived she helped carry my bags up the stairs. I was also allowed to check out a little bit late, so I could eat my lunch and have less time between checking out here and checking into my new hotel. I cancelled my booking at the hostel deciding that a shared room and bathroom were not for me after a stay in a hostel in another city. I think this hotel is a much better value than a shared room. If you are looking for a budget hotel this place is worth considering.

We really enjoyed our stay. It's in a great location to explore downtown Portland. The staff were outstanding - so helpful, very happy to give us tips about public transport, good places to visit and did whatever they could to make our stay comfortable. We had a car to park and they went to lengths to help us do that. The room was very comfortable and clean. It is an old style motel and had a few signs of age, but it had everything that we needed. I was travelling with my son and his partner and we were all treated wtih great respect. Thanks for a great stay.

It’s a good option to be close to downtown Portland - we were in walking distance of a concert venue we needed to go to, Powells, and a cool punk bar. Staff were really nice, couldn’t fault them. Appreciated being able to pay the deposit in cash too! Room had a blow dryer, fridge/freezer, a microwave, and TV with plenty of channels which was a great touch.

The price, location, and value cannot be beat! The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Their free parking in downtown Portland for guests is almost unheard of; usually it costs extra for valet or you have to park nearby in a sketchy parking lot. Plus, it is monitored 24/7 so we were confident our vehicle was secure. Our room was very clean and comfortable. It was no frills but had everything we needed for a couple nights. The location is everything; you're within walking distance of so many great Portland attractions. The area was quiet at night and felt very safe. The Wi-Fi worked great, and we appreciated having a TV with cable, as well as a fridge, and microwave. If you want the best budget hotel in Portland, this is an excellent spot!

Large room with fridge and microwave. Good transportation links. I enjoyed seeing the trams from my room, though I imagine some might be disturbed by the sound of them going by. Plenty of local cafes during the day. The receptionists were friendly and helpful.
