East Columbia Hotels, Portland

"Checkin was worrysome. Key card did not work X 3. Maintenance came to "check batteries" and found it was locked from the inside. ???? made us concerned re: security. moved us to another room. Housekeeping came by first morning- said they would come back with towels. Never got clean towels and had to go ask both evenings. Breakfast was good with variety. Heat was difficult to work. Given the cost, would NOT stay here again- . "

"The hotel building itself wasn’t bad but the property and surrounding area was scary. Homeless people everywhere. I was traveling with just my daughter and I and decided it wasn’t safe for us to stay there. We didn’t even check in so I can’t say what the interior of this location is like. When we pulled in the first thing I saw was a large homeless population and security guards wondering the property during the day which can give you an idea of what the crime rate in the area is. I read other reviews and knew it was located at a truck stop but didn’t realize the gas station was right out the front doors of hotel and that there was a laundry mat attached to the hotel with an adjoining wall that was a large attraction to overwhelming homeless population in the area. If you are traveling alone or with your family I highly recommend you do not stay here and avoid this area all together."

"We love the happy hour and the breakfast selection is great! "

"Just had a quick overnight stay. No problems checking in. My room was very clean and the staff very helpful."

"Walking distance to Moda. Was able to park there after checking out and going to the Blazer game "

"Valet parking was a great bonus"

"Good"

"This is the second time we've stayed here...for a reason. Not only is it one of the most quirky, yet somehow elegant and refined, properties we've ever been in, but the staff are super friendly and helpful, they have a system dialed in that doesn't seem to skip a beat. I do wish there were coffeemakers in the rooms (you can get one by request) as I'm a frazzled useless lump of dump before my caffeine fix and wouldn't want to have to subject myself to any humanoids before it, but, well, luckily I have a wife who's a morning person and was happy to hop and skip her way to the coffee-station for me. The property itself is gorgeous, the rooms are very unique and comfortable, and the location can't really be beat for a downtown spot to stay. We will be back..."

"Wonderful stay! Yummy cookies and close to everything! Walked over 12 miles!"
