I had made a reservation online, needed a cheap place to crash when I was in town for half marathon. I arrived at 12:30 pm there was no attendant to check me in. I had to call a number tapped to the window. A woman named Roxy told me she wasn't there and to come back after 2. I came... More

The hotel is one of those 1960s style motels with a courtyard for cars and a clean "modern" brick face. Then... this happened. I took a bed in the dorm because everything else was full the weekend I was in Portland. Traveling solo, I am used to all sorts of situations. I stayed in a far worse place... in Mexico,... More

This review is for the new hostel section of the Portland Pensione, which is presumably not as bad as the actual rooms that most people have been reviewing. We stayed for four nights and were definitely itching to leave by then. There are two rooms divided by sex with four beds in each. The two rooms are connected by hallway... More

The Reviews on here are correct. We were attending a conference at the Rose Garden, and it is within walking distance... with everything around it booked up, we took a room here. The price isn't horrible (it isn't great either), and the place has a roof over your head. That's really the only praise I can give it... it really... More

I have never stayed at such a dump. I am a former homeless woman and I have seen cleaner rooms in shelters. The bathroom was dirty and moldy. The towels weren't clean and the sheets had burn holes in them. There were homeless looking people around and I saw some dealing drugs. The owner in the wheelchair was rude .... More

Never believe what the photos show you. The rooms are so nasty and dirty. There was mold growing in the bathroom. In the shower and behind the toilet. The rug was so dirty liked no body ever vacumed. The sheets had stains and hair on them. We moved the bed found rotten food that was left under the bed. The... More

Hi, At first I wasn't going to review this place out of empathy for the owners as I believe they are probably very nice people and I suspect they are giving people with no other options a place to stay in exchange for a helping hand around the motel. However, after looking through past reviews I feel I should state... More

After talking with the so-called manager on the phone, we decide to drop by and take a look before we moved all our stuff. This was the nastiest, most disgusting room I have ever seen! After being screamed at for ringing the office bell, she showed us 2 rooms. The first room looked like it had no been vacuumed in... More

This place blows! The carpet was so dirty that in a few minutes with no socks on, my feet turned black. There was no toilet paper. Bedbugs bit me all night. The location is VERY SKETCHY. On the street at night, right as I was arriving at the Pensione, some cracked out homebum started talking to me nonsensically. I thought... More
