Although the room was a little shabby and worn, it was sufficiently clean and quiet. The standout was the staff. I had booked 10 nights but only ended up needing to stay for 7, and the woman at the front desk went above and beyond to coordinate with Expedia to secure a refund for the unused portion, which was very much appreciated! The location is excellent: easy access to transit, dining, coffee....and yet a bit removed from the worst of the street disorder in other parts of downtown. The place is definitely not a palace (hence the "value"), but I thought it was a safe and comfortable enough place to stay while in Portland.
