Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff checked us in but gave us no directions on how to get to our room or where to park the car. It is a confusing and older hotel that is not being kept up. It used to be a Red Lion, but now seems to be owned by the university. They are not doing a good job of updating it or making your stay pleasant.

Staycation weekend
They used to have an awesome breakfast. But now it just the basic. They used to have a restaurant and bar, but I guess not anymore. BUT for only $15 plus tax so it was $17.41, I didn't have to check out till 2 pm!!!! I always ask for late check outs so this was so great!

Not a good place to stay
Motel entry was nice and staff were nice. Rooms were very outdated and walls were ripply with water damage. Carpets were very, very old and dirty. Mattresses were thin and more like cots and hard. TV was broken and phone inoperable. There are dangerous people lurking around the hotel and we were accosted on our way out and needed police escort. We did not even stay for the entire night for safety and sanitation reasons and had to stay somewhere else.

The cleanliness of the room was lacking . Their were greasy fingerprints and food on intable and counter top as well as 2 dirty pillow cases. There is also a smell of mildew on the towels and wash rags. The lobbies cleanliness was fantastic and the staff was friendly, unfortunately i will not be staying here in the future due to the neglected cleanliness of room 328.

The entire staff was fantastic. The room and property in general were clean and comfortable. Everything worked fine. The only possible mini negative was a funky smell in the 2nd floor hallway, but it wasn’t in the actual room.

University Place has been our “go-to” hotel for many years. Its location is excellent and right off the Tri-Met line, so traveling around the city is incredibly convenient. The hotel is only a block away from food trucks, excellent restaurants, convenience stores, and various shops. The main reason for us choosing the hotel was location and value as we visit Portland as a family. The hotel value has been gradually declining, but during this visit the decline of the hotel and its amenities was drastic. Where housekeeping would visit every morning to refresh the towels, coffee and tea, and toilet paper, it is now all self-serve. As a guest you need to call the front desk to request housekeeping the day prior. We stayed four (4) nights and had to ask the front desk for clean towels, soap, coffee/tea, and clean sheets. Where the hotel once offered a robust hot breakfast each morning between 6:30 - 9:00am, I walked into the breakfast area to find cold bread, muffins, dry cereal and bruised fruit. There was coffee and tea available, but served in shot glass size disposable cups. The rooms, once spacious and clean were dirty (I found hard candy stuck to the carpet), peeling wallpaper with mold growing underneath, and an over-flowing toilet that leaked water into the carpet in the foyer/vanity area.

I’ve stayed here several times. Good breakfast. The “comfort” rooms are the only good rooms. Mostly they’ve been excellent, but this visit I had a beat up, dingy-er one. Smelled like it had been used for pets, and paint at bottom of door was scratched offnb
