Just okay.

It wasn’t that bad, but it wasn’t great, and we won’t be back. There was used toilet paper in our toilet when we checked in, for one. Not a huge deal, but gross. Place just felt kind of unclean and the breakfast was pretty lame (bread/muffins/fruit). Also, there’s not hot tub, so that’s kind of a bummer.

This is a good stop for a no frills stay in Portland. Prices are readable, and the refurbished rooms are comfortable. There is a lot within walking distance in terms of food and drinks. In addition, there is a light rail stop right in front of the hotel. It can take you to PSU and the downtown area. You can ride it all day for $5.60. In the past, they would give guests chocolate chip cookies and offer a hot breakfast in the morning. It is now a decent continental breakfast, certainly enough to get started with good coffee from the Portland Roasting Company.

nice hotel for my family

Front desk staff was super friendly. They were very approachable as I needed assistance with a Band-Aid for my autistic son. They were very helpful with directions in the area and just overall a great crew

Pleasant stay

Traditionally staying with a large family at the University Place on 4th of July for many years. Main reasons - location and pool. Had no problem in the past to have at least one room next to the pool. Specified this request on my booking few months prior to stay. In the end received rooms on the 3d floor which were traded on the 1st one but on the other side of the hotel. The hotel explanation provided was the conference run at the hotel at that time. But people staying at the rooms by the pool have not even heard about any conference. Otherwise, the stay was very pleasant.

The property was what was expected. I'm disappointed I'm Expedia and will never use again. Found out from the hotel that the room was only $130 yet Expedia charged me $190. Next time I'll just book with the property directly.

Decent place to stay at if you want to pass a couple days in Portland. The only downsides is that the they don’t really maintain their gym and their continental breakfast is really basic food. For its price it’s not too bad. I might go again if I pass some days in Portland but not an ideal place to stay a long time for me.
