My husband and I had the most wonderful stay at the Nordic. As this was my first time staying at a motel, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. There were a couple of bad reviews on here which I was worried about; bed bugs, noise and neighbourhood. We hadn't had bed bugs and there wasn't any constant intolerable noise.... More

My wife and I stayed for three nights on our first visit to Portland. I had discovered this motel on the internet and was impressed with the numbers of positive reviews it had received. We weren't disappointed. We liked the location, the staff, the service, the accommodations (queen size bed, microwave, DVD player, fridge, cable, etc). The staff were especially... More

I spent a week at the Nordic and it was a wonderful experience. It was very clean, we always had plenty of towels. There was a full size stove and refridgerator which helped cut down on our food expenses. There is a train nearby, but I really did not hear it at all. Someone else left a comment about the... More

Full size fridge, and stove, but no dishes, pans, or silverware. So, if you're planning on staying her because of these item's... bring the essentials. Train's a few times throughout the night, and they run behind the hotel.

When I finally found the Nordic, in between two disreputable-looking no-tell motels, I knew I... More

Me any my wife chose this motel because it was cheap and had good reviews. We definitely agree that the room was clean compared to some other motels but we did have some complaints regarding our stay: 1. The walls between units seem to be thin as we heard the next door unit at night (TV and "other" noises). Also... More

Devoted owner/operators who continue to make improvements and upgrades on the units and want to do everything possible for you to have a pleasant stay. The achieve this goal with one exception; location on a busy street near the airport and trains. Would we stay again? Yes with ear plugs.

So I researched inexpensive places to stay in NE Portland, as my dad was in the hospital there, and I knew I may be there up to a week, so I couldn't afford anything fancy for that long. I came across website for Nordic Motel. Looking at the pics of it on website, I thought it looked ideal and I... More
