DO NOT STAY HERE I…read morefollowed the hotel's own policy by calling ahead to confirm my late check-in, and two different employees told me I was good to go. When I showed up just after midnight, my entire reservation was canceled without warning. The GM wouldn't help and made me pay out of pocket 7x more than I had paid originally. She just said her "hands were tied" and there's nothing she could do. (As the GM? Nothing you can do?) The hotel itself was a a little rough--our room was never cleaned over the course of our 4-night stay, front desk staff was unhelpful, and basic requests (like an extra blanket) were denied for ridiculous reasons. Never again for me

I will say, I do like the river next to the hotel. The road noise is loud during the day, and drowns the river noise out though. Six years later I returned and was very disappointed with the upkeep on the room. The floors were clean, but sticky, the furniture was gross and stained, and the walls dirty. Every single contact I had with female front desk staff was superiorly negative. The long-haired guy at night was awesome, and very accommodating. But those other ladies, yikes! Whether by phone or in person, they were just nasty to us. As if I was begging for food, or stealing from them. All I wanted to do was check in! Staff alone motivates me to skip this property in the future, not the mention the poor upkeep.

First class FREE! What's your excuse? Let's dance, PDX!…read more Ready to shake off stress, laugh with friends, and learn something new? The Basics Ballroom is where you want to be.

Just show up, give it a try, and see if you fall in love like we did. No partner? No problem. Just bring yourself (and maybe your dancing shoes though not required).

Contact Info: Facebook: The Basics Ballroom Instagram: @thebasicsballroom Email: thebasicsballroom@outlook.com Facility notes: - The AC and heating can be unpredictable, so dress in layers. You'll warm up quickly once you're dancing anyway. - Not all ceiling fans are operational yet. - Each restroom stall could use its own trash can. - Free street parking is plentiful, which makes coming here even easier. P.Y. Toilet seat covers provided in the women's restroom, small detail, but appreciated. This place is a total gem: uplifting, energizing, and welcoming.

Great building with a lot of history. Need a space for your events? Call them. They have space available. The dinning room view is amazing overlooking the river.

They are directly across the street from one another. When you drive into the area there are signs for parking that are close the reception hall. If you're attending a wedding it's going to be in the chapel. So the walking from the parking lot to the chapel isn't super convenient if you're wearing your best formals. Anyway lovely place. Spacious enough for a mid sized event.

The previous one I stayed in So Cal was just OK w/room for improvements needed. This Clackamus location in the Portland suburbs was quite better. Free parking is great! We were warmly welcomed by the front desk. Free was clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel was distant enough for local fireworks sounds to be a non-issue. I enjoyed using the gym in the morning. It's super clean with disinfectant wipes, towels, and water refill station. There were plenty of weights, machines, exercise mat and equipment. It's very convenient to have an onsite restaurant available with Starbucks coffee and tea for purchase. Our basic breakfasts of eggs, bacon, and potatoes hit the spot. My Starbucks decaf white chocolate w/almond milk base was yum. Hubby liked the OJ. Safe, clean, comfy stay, and good front desk. 4 stars.

I am "Titanium Elite" with Marriott and usually when I check in they thank me, give me free bottled water, and offer me points or something of my choice from the market.

The hotel internet was also slow and TOO SLOW for internet TV to work. I tried watching Netflix and Showtime on demand and they just clocked and would. It work when I tried to watch a show.
