"My two sisters and I loved everything about the place especially the kitchen and the temperature control via AC or heat. The only concern about the place is that it took 1-3 tries each time we had to unlock the front door by code. There was supposed to be music to help but couldn't really hear anything. May need some attention but have to admit we never alerted anyone at the time thinking it was related to our ineptitude! I tried to do this review on the Vacasa site but the page never came up...

5/5 Excellent
Wish we had stayed longer!
"Spent 2 ngts in Portland on the tail end of vaca. MRInn Great location, full kitchen, nice towels, awesome breakfast spread. All and all good value. Gym, pool, laundry. P and FD staff were super helpful. We will be back and to stay longer. I would ask for a room on a higher floor, although we arrived at noon and took the room that was ready. One surprising thing was that there were no USB charging ports anywhere. Plenty of other outlets. Portland is a very easy city to walk and drive around. And safe. Walked down to East End Beach around 630 one am. I asked to Luke’s and to get Ice cream (okay twice). Parking fee is kind of a drag, but convenient to getting to S PL and Fort Williams. (Nice park!) the PLHouse museum is a must too. "
