Located just off interstate I-5, this hotel was a great recommendation by a Portland local. We booked online, and were checked into out room within minutes of entering the large, open space lobby. The staff were very friendly and prompt at the service desk, although I wish we had been directed to a brochure rack of local activities and attractions to do.

The rooms were your typical 3/4 star hotel affair, with two very comfortable queen size beds, a microwave, fridge (no freezer though), and cable TV. We could get HBO at no extra charge, so that was a bonus for Game of Thrones. On the forth floor our room overlooked the parking lot and roadway, but I imagine you would see the river from the other side.

If I could give them 4.5 stars out of 5 I would, but only because I wish there had been a little more local information obviously visible in the lobby. Otherwise this was a perfect overnight stay, and we would return again.
