Banfield Value Inn в Портленде

The Motel seems a little scary at first if you've never been to Portland but the neighborhood was not too bad and an easy walk from public transit. The room was small but very clean. Clean towels and a mini fridge.

On a 30 day roadtrip around the west and mid west of the US, this is by far the worst place we stayed at. The amenities are pretty lacking, wi-fi works at a snails pace, you're lucky to load a single page and it will randomly cut out. The hairdryer was broken in the first room we had (more from that later) and in the second room has held together with electrical tape with exposed internals, not exactly safe in a wet environment. As soon as we entered the room we noted that it completely stunk of cigarette smoke despite being a non-smoking room. We tracked the smell to the vent in the bathroom and after running the bathroom fan for 30 minutes the smell went, only to return again in 5 minutes. The sink was also broken and wouldn't drain. Speaking to the attendant the next morning he assured us a maintence guy would be round in the day to fix everything. On returning later that night out keycard randomly stopped working. Once we had got that fixed we went into the room to be confronted by a broken sink and the smell of cigarettes. On complaining again they moved us to the room next door. Not only did this room still smell of cigarettes but the bathroom fan was on it's last legs and was obnoxiously loud whenever turned on. At this point we were more than happy to leave and never come back. I would certainly not recommend this motel. Some of these things might have been excusable if it was a cheap place but at over $100 a night it doesn't even come close.

Rude staff, paid extra fees, was called a liar by staff. Dirty towels, beers all over the walking area

Very nice, surprisingly updated for a motel

I stayed here because it was the only vacancy I could find near the finish of a long bike ride. The room was cheap and I had low expectations. I was happily surprised. The room was very nice.
