Super 8 Motel Portland Motel - Page 1

I stayed in one of four "Evergreen" rooms that has two air filters, filtered water for drinking, and filtered water for showering. I'm sensitive to cigarette smoke; of course, the room was smoke free. I was so busy I never used the TV, and took advantage of the HBO, etc., provided by the motel. I looked in on the jacuzzi and the washer/dryer room available to guests but used neither; they were clean and neat.

As for the breakfast, I felt I could splurge and overeat...or behave myself and eat properly...just cereal, milk, and tea. The hot water was separate from the coffee machine, and was without a coffee flavor, so common to these mult-use machines, so my tea was very tasty and uncompromised. I used the phone to call my two relatives I was visiting; the phone had free local-call privileges. I liked looking outside the window at a lovely bush which allowed the window to be open but provided privacy, too.

We had a very enjoyable five night stay. The staff was consistently polite and cheerful, and met our every need, from a request for more pillows, to replacing a needed bathmat one day. The double pane windows, and close in landscaping kept things quiet. The room had a hair dryer, coffee maker, small fridge and microwave, an adequate desk, and other furniture, as well as a variety of soaps and shampoos. The breakfast of fresh fruit, cereal, juices, milk and pastries, was ample and much appreciated. Free newspapers were available in the lobby area. Location was within easy walking distance of a Safeway grocery store, and the Max light rail transit, as well as numerous small businesses and residences (we were visiting a relative). We will definitely stay here on our next visit.

I had a long trip. They were kind and helpful.

This hotel made me feel comfortable: They spoke to me like a neighbor and not a traveler.
