  Stayed on two occasions for extended stays. Front desk staff friendlish but one lady broke the ice with some horrendous customer relation skills. Shouted ID and credit please 3 times at us while exchanging niceties. Cleaning staff is very friendly, but you can tell the rooms are getting just a once over. Sometimes force their way in before checkout (knockin at 10:30am very first day of extended stay, assuming from the rest of the clientele they have they assumed that we were going to squat? Stayed 6 nights after that tho) Cleaning staff also has bad habit of leaving the supply room cracked open after they clock out, seems a little negligent since the front desk told me about soap thieves and stuff. Clients are partial to stealing towels here so they will trade you 1 for 1 with your dirty towels. Once per day only can you ask for anything your room needs so make sure you ask for your rooms soap/tp/coffee(if they have it...they were out of caffenated during the weekdays) and everything at once or you may not be helped. Half the time the new towels haven't even been actually washed-washed and you can smell the mixture of sadness embedded in the towel/burn stains/poop stains. Little poop smears in the bathroom and the walls have been repainted from graffiti. In the bigger suites they have a nice little living area and 2 queen beds. Nice mini fridge and a microwave. Everything is in functioning order! Free wifi is a huge boon in their favor! But old flatscreens that dont have hdmi ports oof. 77th and powell is sometimes lively but that's Portland. Right next to a grocery store. Once you've settled in though it's pretty chill. But the 11 am checkout time on the weekends is a little hectic if you like to sleep in, your seedy temp neighbors will be appalled that they are losing their 50 dollar deposit over being 26 minutes late for check out. Just bring a blacklight and some clorox wipes and youre gonna have a good stay. Fold out that couch bed and try to splice out what the blood stains on the floor means. Redo the carpet if it was that bad? Someone did something to the couchbed in room 218 so we just ended up just keepin it folded up.

  Don't stay the night here! Poor hospitality and this place is infested with bed bugs. I stayed here and found a couple within a couple of hours. Che ked out immediately! And to add there are drugs being passed around this place.

  I bet there's worse than this, but... The room's spacious enough, and I like the "living room." It's not particularly clean, though. I can hear arguments through the walls, as well as... Other things... All hours of the day. Bathrooms are small. Bottom line: Probably not worth $100 a night.

  I've stayed here a few times. Both first two times I had no isseues but watched the staff fight with a couple customers over letting people in the room that have already paid and given their IDs. This last time I stayed I paid for two people. Upon the second person's arrival they denied her access to the room that I had paid for. In the morning I went to check out and get my deposit back but the previous tenant smoked out the window and left cigarettes which they felt left them the right to take my deposit. I don't even smoke cigarettes

  Sometimes you just need the cheap option, but wow was it difficult to stay there. People in non-smoking rooms seem to commonly stand in their doorway smoking so much that it's hard to breathe in the hallway even when no one is smoking, and the in room fridge was unplugged with no way to plug it in and smelled of dozens of spoiled leftovers - which I'm sad to say my leftovers ended up contributing to. They use a ton of perfume to try and cover it up - soaking the lobby and even perfuming the sheets and pillow cases - but then it just created a smell mixture of rot, cigarettes, and fake flowers that had me dry heaving on more than one occasion. Why didn't I give it one star? Being cheap counts for something. At least it was half the cost of the other place I was considering, but next time I'll shell out the extra cash.
