Robbie, falls church

Travelled with family
The staff was terrific. Unfortunately, the room smelled like cigarette/pot smoke. We booked a two bedroom suite and one bedroom was fine while the other reeked of smoke smell. We checked in late in the evening so I just dealt with it the first night, but first thing in the morning, I talked to the front desk about it. They sent up an ozone machine for the day while we were out and that seemed to work ok for the room, but the bathroom still smelled horribly! So, if you are sensitive to smoke smell, don't stay here.

The breakfast items to choose from was plentiful. The staff member Troy who was responsible for overseeing this area was on top of everything. As a person in the food industry he did everything right including speaking with the guests to make sure they were happy.

Okay, but not what I expected😒

It's a nice place, but parking was ridiculous, $30 a night makes no sense for Portland! Its across the street and very dimly lit. I did not feel safe with all the homeless people wandering around. The room was small, but clean. Going down to the pool at night with kids, you have to go by the bar and all the men stare, it was uncomfortable, not to mention very loud!
