The city center Econo Lodge is a great value for downtown Portland. The hotel is smaller, in a safe and convenient location to downtown and public transit. Our room was very clean and in good condition with a comfortable bed and good sheets. Bigger, thicker towels would be a great, but that's probably asking too much for an Econo Lodge.... More

I'll be honest: I read "Econo Lodge" and I frown. However, I read the positive reviews on here and decided to risk staying here. I'm glad that I did. Clean rooms, cheap price, and genial and helpful service. Can't ask for much more than that for a night's stay. This place is on par with some Comfort Inns or Quality... More

I was in Portland this week for a couple of days with my parents who needed to be near OHSU hospital. We chose this Econo Lodge because of its location and because of the positive reviews we read on Trip Advisor. We were glad we did. The motel was very nice, extremely clean, the owners were very helpful and pleasant... More

Although you won't get the amenities you'd expect at a Hilton or Marriott .... this is a first rate motel. I only booked here because I had friends that were staying here .... and probably wouldn't have otherwise. I'm a frequent "hoteler" and normally stay at Hilton properties. I was beyond pleasantly surprised with this property. The owner / managers... More

Easy to find right off freeway. Friendly reception, easy check in. Small room but lots of shelf space for cases, etc. A/C worked very well in 92 degree heat! Fridge, microwave in room. Comfortable beds. A little old and worn but very suitable for our needs. Easy walk to downtown or near train and streetcar. Parked right outside our unit... More

It looks a bit in need of renos from the outside but this simply contributes to it being a very good deal for lodging in central Portland. The rooms are nice and clean and the location is right next to the free streetcars that service the downtown core. The owners are helpful in the extreme with all the directions and... More

This simple motel is 2 blocks from both the downtown core free tram and trains. It is also 2 blocks from the waterfront and 6 or so blocks from the walking trails. There are food carts just across the street, coffee shops and small grocery stores within a few blocks. Nothing fancy about the lodging, but it all functions, is... More

I can't say enough good things about this hotel! Our room was very clean and comfortable and quiet. From my first call to ask about the room & rates until I checked out, the managers (Rita and her husband) were friendly, helpful, and informative. I did not want to rent a car in Portland and this Econo Lodge is only... More

The hotel room was comfortable and clean. The location was close to public transportation and a safe neighborhood. But the Manager, Rita made the stay perfect. She made sure that we were happy and arranged a tour for us that we had trouble booking. I would recommend staying here and we certainly will the next time we are in Portland. More
