Liked the location and had a nice view of the bay from our room. The bartender at the hotel bar was very friendly. The rest of the staff acted as if they didn’t want to be bothered. The key cards for the rooms deactivated very easily and frequently. One of the staff members scolded my wife because my daughter went to get it reactivated and said she should not have a key at 14 years old.

It was a very good stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful, had planned to go out for dinner after arriving and ended up staying right at motel and having dinner and drinks and also breakfast the next morning, don't think they should charge for parking, rate was a little stout, but all and all it was a great experience, view from room was amazing

We loved everything about this hotel. We now know the place to stay next time we are in Portland longer then one night. The pool looked amazing, just didn't have time to enjoy after our touring around the town. Everything is right there in town near the hotel to enjoy yourself.
