I was checked in the wrong room , opened the door and discovered some else’s luggage , luckily there was no one in the room. The staff checked in some one else under my name. Eventually I was given a different room. Also did not receive any housekeeping during the 3 night stay.

The bed was very comfortable and the pool closes at 11, both were the positive parts of our stay. The staff were rude and complained that they are overworked. The breakfast was the same every day. Our room was never cleaned. The parking lot is very small. The allow unhoused people to do drugs at their entrance. And the elevator takes 5-10 minutes to get to the floor you are on, and no matter what, it's going to stop at the Lobby, even if no one pressed the button.

Hi Brandon! Thankyou so much for providing your feedback with us -- we greatly appreciate it! We are very sorry that your stay was unpleasant, as this is never the energy we want folks to experience while they are here with us!!! The elevator does stop at the lobby when it comes up from the lower lobby as a security measure, to ensure that no non-guests are attempting to enter via the garage. Please reach out to us at hixreservationspdxor@gmail.com to further discuss your experience and other issues you experienced! We would love the opportunity to host you again, as we're sure we can provide you with a 5-star stay ---- Thank you!

I booked through Expedia for a total cost of $184.90 night. When I got my credit card statement I realized they charged me $184.90 plus tax. When I arrived the room door was propped open. After complaining to the front desk the desk clerk came up & checked the room & said he would comp snacks for my trouble. Charged for a bottle of water on bill. Hot tub was grungy - had a ring around from lots of use with no actual cleaning. Breakfast was good. Ok place but hold onto your wallet.

The staff were very kind & helpful. The elevator did not work well & was really slow. Someone was smoking cigarettes in the stairway so the whole 2nd floor would smell terrible . Breakfast had a good amount of options & the pool was nice. Overall it was a decent place to stay for a good price.

Travelled with family and small children
Disliked: Staff & service
Check in was quick and easy, Room was ok, but Keurig was not clean, and both toilet paper rolls were nearly empty. The Evening staff never answered the desk phone when called from the room. "0" just rings forever. You have to take the ONE slow elevator to lobby and wait for them to come from the back room. Our experience was a younger "male" person who seemed to be more interested in wearing headphones and chatting on their phone. The Parking garage security gate was damaged and tied up. Surrounding Portland area has wandering homeless and needed city clean up badly.
