Portland Travelodge

Good for a quick stop, but I wouldn't recommend staying for long. The shower hadn't been cleaned, and there was hair on the wall from a previous guest. The beds were very hard. The AC worked well, the pool was great, and Dennys is next door.

We booked the room so my daughter could stay with me and get ready for her wedding, but it was in such bad shape that we had to use a friend’s room instead. The lamp flickered whenever anyone touched it, even though I’d mentioned it at the desk, and I was afraid it might start a fire. There were bugs in the first room, so I had to move. In the next one, the safe didn’t work, the towel rack was pulling out of the wall, and the shower curtain was fitted so badly that it bunched up across the whole middle. They came to fix the toilet but didn’t finish, so I had to adjust the water level myself to make it flush properly. The carpet was filthy, the furniture stained, and the room smelled awful. I can’t put into words how disappointing and unpleasant it was.

The bathroom door was mounted crooked, leaving a gap you could see through, and parts of the plaster or drywall were coming away. The room had a strong smell of smoke mixed with something I couldn’t identify. The shower was so dirty that I wore flip-flops both nights to avoid touching it. A low price doesn’t excuse that. I wouldn’t stay here again.

For a quick night, this place did the job. The room was reasonably clean, the shower stayed hot, and breakfast was decent, with the usual bagels, muffins, cereal, and oatmeal. It felt fair for the price and was perfectly adequate for an overnight stop. Nothing went wrong.
