The hotel itself was very nice , the staff were always pleasant , warm and helpful. We brought our dog and needed to walk him late , there was always a staff member at the front desk. The continental breakfast was well stocked and really tasty. The only complaint was the surrounding area , lots of homeless and drug addicted but that is not the fault of the hotel

Never again !!

The Hotel appears to be on the verge of closing. It was cold and drafty we had the mini split in our room set to 80 and it had to turn on and off every 5 minutes to keep our room warm. Receptionist was not rude but not friendly either. Water pressure was low. Soap container on the wall in the shower are no longer filled but gross soap is in them. They don't tell you that parking is extra and add it at the end. Small computer size tv. Lamp type phone charger outlets half didn't work. Mattress was soft and old. Gotta love Portland food trucks around the corner and human poop in the parking lot. Food trucks are another story . I'm not a Karen by the way. I usually find the food in things but I couldn't find anything in this one other than the location is close to OHSU.

Convenient Location

University Place is a good option if you are on a budget and want a comfortable place to stay with easy parking. The Orange line stop is right in front of the hotel, and the Keller Theater is just four blocks away. The beds were comfortable. The hotel has been renovating their rooms, it seems. The restaurant is closed at this time, which is a bummer, but the food carts around the corner have great options.

Our bathroom lock was broken along with no washroom fan which should be mandatory . Staff was great but hotel was not so much. Breakfast was so bad as well. Who serves cold boiled eggs?!?!?!
