I stayed for a couple nights in the women's hostel and had a pleasant experience. For the price, it was great. The bathrooms are all private units with a shower and toilet which is lovely. A bit of a walk to get to the baths, though. The bunks themselves are kind of old and make a lot of noise when you climb into them. So much that you'll wonder if it's going to collapse. The room for the women's hostel has twelve beds and very poor air circulation as the large room is shaped like an L with only one small window towards the front, but at the back it gets very dark if you prefer darkness for sleeping. But because of the darkness, people will always need to turn on the lights after dark which may disturb others. The perks of the hotel such as the soaking pool are available to those who stay in the hostel, which is great. Ample parking and an easy trip into Portland. Great location for those wishing to go for hikes in the parks. Downtown Troutdale is also adorable and not too far. The charm of the old building is also quite magical.
