Axel's take: 7.4/10
A practical budget base with friendly staff, but dated rooms and noise trade-offs. A budget 3-star motel-style hotel near the Gorge Waterway, scored for what it is.
This budget 3-star is more motel-style than polished city hotel, with exterior corridors near the Gorge Waterway. It's a good pick for drivers who want useful extras rather than a downtown address: free parking, an indoor pool, a sauna and kitchen-equipped suites. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise helpful staff and clean rooms, making it a credible, no-frills base.
The catch is uneven upkeep. Several recent guests describe worn bathrooms and tired fittings, while thin walls and connecting doors can undermine sleep. The Loft pub adds live music, but nearby rooms can hear it and its patrons sometimes fill the parking lot. There is no elevator, and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly say housekeeping needs requesting. We'd skip it for a quiet, polished getaway or sightseeing entirely on foot; request a ground-floor room if stairs are difficult.
