I travelled down from Seattle by train and stayed at the Portland Central Thriftlodge with 7 other guys for my best friends bachelor party. The hotel is in moderate walking distance from the station as well as downtown Portland. The rooms were spare but clean and slept 4 per room comfortably, though the hotel is showing some age. The rate... more

This place is older and has seen many years since its last update, but we found it to be clean and reasonably well-kept, with a friendly and helpful staff. Our room was comfortable and quiet, and the shower had great water pressure. Convenient location. more

I made a reservation for a future stay (August 2009) at this motel. When making the reservation, you are presented with different rate types (e.g. pre-paid advanced purchase, AAA, internet rate, etc). I know I did not select the pre-paid rate because I have an email confirmation with the rate I selected, and I'm a software quality assurance engineer so... more

Stayed for a long weekend with two friends for a dance festival. The motel is simple and functional but clean. The service is basic but friendly. We chose it due to its proximity to a couple of dance studios. The area is a bit sketchy but still safe enough for walking, and some cute coffee places are a few blocks... more

This property is not dirty or badly maintained; it is simply old and hasn’t been refurbished. Although the property looks like it is cleaned and maintained well, it is a good 40 years old and has the smell that cheap motels have after 40 years. The neighborhood looks sketchy, but I wasn’t mugged and I don’t know Portland well-enough to... more

We stayed at the Thriftlodge at 949 E Burnside across from the Jupiter Hotel on March 8th, 2006. I was actually scared of what could happen to our car on Burnside because I grew up seeing all the bums and filth whenever we visited that part of Portland. I walked out to look a few times, but everything went well.... more
