Pretty basic, but clean and quiet except for the tram going by in the street every 20-30 minutes, well into the night. On the other hand, it was convenient to have the tram right there, so I could go into the city center without the car. Easy to drive in too, it was not far to the center. Room decor... More

I couldn't have been any happier with my stay at the Monticello, they offer a nice big clean room with kitchenette in a convenient location. This place for sure isn't a luxury place, but the owners did a very nice job with their rehab of the place. Even though our room was probably 30' from the light rail we could... More

It seemed like a decient place The people running it seemed to be nice enough We just didn't want the little critters crawling on us in our sleep They did refund all our money with no hassles Also they gave us a smoking room that had a funky smell when they first showed us the room

I stayed here in September 2012 for a week, and I want to stay here again this year when I return to Portland. It's very convenient to the MAX train - it takes only a few minutes to get downtown. I loved having that kitchenette - it's so nice to cook instead of eating out all the time on vacation!... More

We stayed here over black Friday weekend for a day. Its very close to Portland downtown. Neighborhood is good. Family running this place is very friendly and I would recommend this place for its value for money.

Have stayed here twice in the past few months. As the other reviews point out, the neighborhood does feel a bit iffy and in my first visit, the room had a bit of a musty smell. though it dissipated within minutes of my opening a window. During my second visit, I returned at one point to find a small bag... More

This is a very clean motel, not upscale but well maintained and managed. We were not sure about the neighborhood at night, but did notice that none of the houses around us had barred windows, and the proprietors had deliberately left a window open in the room before we checked in. Easy access to the train, kitchenette is not well... More

I booked a room here going by the other reviews I read on Trip Advisor, I was really disappointed. The room had a musty smell and was well used. I have stayed in much cleaner rooms before. It is real close to the rail station and easy to get around but not in the best of neighborhoods. I asked for... More

I needed to stay just one night in Portland and wasn't looking to spend a lot. The motel is conveniently located near I-5 and lightrail station, which is great but can be a bit loud for light sleepers. My room had a king-size bed, full kitchen, even a small dining table, and everything was nice and clean. The water in... More
