Stayed here last month just driving cross country. There were several obnoxious families that would be up all night long. Yelling at each other, yelling at kids, kids were left alone outside with no toys, just dirt and sticks. With no adults in sight. Drug activity was heavy. Found old needles in the parking lot. And I saw an older lady sweeping. -the rocks! Outside! While kids were inside crying and screaming and yelling. Management didn't care at all. They must be used to this. I asked if I could switch rooms , or if they could tell these families to be mindful of their excessive late night noises. ,(going on from ,10pm - ,,5am I had enough at about 7am and requested a refund for the 2nd night I had booked and I was told it wasn't refundable. Plus this place was so dirty I went out and purchased cleaning supplies. The shower had mildew on shower curtain. Clipped toe nails on floor and even a half eaten slice of pizza between the wall and bed. I recommend everyone to keep driving past this place. read more

They have a couple staying at the end of the building towards the crates who are loud and obnoxious, I hear them frying catfish almost every night... also they have their toddler running in the parking lot, I almost hit him with my car read more

Determined to spend as little as possible on lodging for an absolutely unplanned road trip, we settled on Portland Value Inn based on a HotelsCombined search...and reaped what we sowed. PROS: -Cheap. $45 for a one-bed, non-smoking room. -Good water pressure and the bathroom was for the most part very clean (this might even bump the place up to 2.5-star status) -The basic needs were met (place to sleep and shower), but I wouldn't count on it for much else CONS: -It's in the friggin' boonies. You only save money if you place no value on the time and gas it takes to get here from any typically visited place in the city. -Wait, Portland Value Inn is associated with Days Inn and Hampton Inn? Likely not, though that's where the soaps and such were lifted from. -Though the toilet seems to use 5 gallons of water per flush, it certainly carries NO power with it (oops, let me take that 0.5-star advantage back). -Our butler was a dead fly named, why of course, Alfred. This inn looks like a place for those to go in, do the ol' in 'n' out, and get out. It's not a place you ever want to prolong your stay or touch anything if you can help it. Contrary to the unkempt pot-bellied guy in a wife beater one may typically expect to find at the front desk of a motel like this though, the Indian lady was very pleasant and cordial. read more

My wedding is coming up, or it has passed, depending when this is read. My wedding party is coming from the Tacoma area and my wedding venue is in downtown Portland. They made a reservation for two rooms that in all will house 7 people. Currently I'm trying to rush to help find the half of my wedding party and his family lodging for one of the most important weekends of my life, because the manager decided to give their reservation to someone else just based upon the fact that they were staying there for 60 days. read more

I got stuck in this dump of a place because of my own poor planning. Everything was booked and this was the only place I could find with vacancy. I would have been better off sleeping in the car. I was instantly put off by all the rude, inhospitable, and unwelcoming signs that were posted all over their office windows. The ones that stick out in my mind were the extremely rude, ignorant, and offensive statements made about people's various pets. If you don't want pets at your place just say no pets! Don't leave rude signs out. I walked into the office and waited for a minute. Eventually, a woman in the middle of some very appealing open mouthed chewing came out. She stared at me, swallowed, and loudly burped in my direction. I have to say, I've never been greeted that way at a hotel, or probably anywhere. She then said, "What do you want?" Well, at this point I wanted to leave, but felt stuck. I got my room and proceeded to find it. I will add that the grounds of this place are vile and filthy. Overflwoing trash cans were all over the place. Thus, there was trash on the ground. This did not bode well for the condition of the room. As to be expected, the room was filthy and disgusting. It smelled stale, moldy, dusty, and just plain dirty! The bed stunk and I'm sure those sheets hadn't been washed in quite a while. I ended up getting my sleeping bag from the car and sleeping on top of the bed because it was just so disgusting. TLDR: This place is a disgusting vile pit run by inhospitable people. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! SLEEP IN YOUR CAR! read more

Got this place after a last minute decision and expected the worst. From the outside it looks like "no-tell" motel and for $45 I didn't expect much. However: Our room was old, but very clean. If you don't mine worn out, it's fine. It has a fridge, microwave, and free wifi. All worked. Very large room, easy to spread out. Very quiet, window looked out over a school field (no school in August). Slept well. $45 in Portland in August! (barely, you have to drive to interesting areas.) If you want a new place with a walk to sites, this is not for you. However, if you want a cheap place to urban camp, this motel is great. 1 Star for neighborhood 3 Stars for cleanliness and quiet. 4 Stars for fridge and microwave and wifi 5 Stars for Price. read more

It's a dump. Clean, but still a dump. It was the cheapest thing available thru Priceline, $45. It's actually a seedy old apartment complex that has been converted to a decrepit motel. It's next door to a skeevy Chinese restaurant/bar, and is overlooked by a dodgy apartment building. It's near the intersection of I-5 and 99W, just up the hill from a former Denny's that is now an adult video & novelties shop. My "suite" was formerly a one-bedroom apartment. Everything is worn, including the sheets. Clean, but tired-looking. The living room floor and shower stall in this suite - 42 - are physically buckling. TV remotes were missing or not working. The cigarette burned-furniture and faint tobacco smell mark this is as being a smoking suite. I think that the suite *itself* actually has a smoking habit. Do they have smoking cessation programs for buildings? Perhaps nicotine patch rugs? The suite had free - weak - WiFi, a fridge, a microwave, 2 TVs, a sleeper sofa, and those annoying theft-proof hotel clothes hangers in the doorless closet. Like many run-down motels, this one is an under-capitalized mom-and-pop operation, owned by immigrants from The Subcontinent (there is a picture of some chariot-driving Hindu deity in the office). The desk clerk was friendly. He made sure that the registration form included my car make "in case something happened" to it. Get the picture? No complimentary breakfast. For that, I am grateful. McMenamin's offers a bunk bed with shared bathroom in two of its hotels (White Eagle and Forest Grove Grand Lodge) for $45 a nite. For a gregarious solo traveler, this is probably a better option. The punchline: it's actually not the worst place at which I've ever stayed. read more

My Daughter and I decided to take a road trip to Seattle, and Portland began as a sleepover spot along the way. With that in mind, we searched for the best price/rating combo we could find on Bookings.com and came up with the Portland Value Inn. The motel itself is older, and a bit worn in places, but is very clean and well kept, plus the staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was actually huge for a motel room, and the free WiFi worked without any issues. While on the road, we were on schedule to arrive very early, and the folks at the Portland Value Inn immediately started stepping up and we were provided a very early check-in. Since we arrived in town so early with nothing planned, we asked about things to do and how to get around town. The staff, Knox in particular, helped us find several cool things to do in town, and explained how easy the bus service is. Yes the motel is a ways from downtown, but the Portland Bus system is very easy to use and makes getting there a breeze. We liked Portland so much, we actually rearranged part of our trip in order to spend more time there. Would I recommend the Portland Value Inn: Absolutely. Not the Ritz Carlton by any stretch, but it is clean and comfortable. A good place to stay for a night or two. read more

If I had the option to give it no stars I would. Horrible place, booked online through Hotwire, called them right way and complained. We booked a different place. They were blocking this place right away. How do places get away with renting rooms. When it was in there lobby, they were on the phone and she quoted the room for $80. That is a joke!! This place needs to be condemned. I am glad we got out of there!!!! read more

I stayed here for three nights during my last excursion to Portland. For $50 a night, I got pretty much exactly what I expected. Good parts of it: *Transportation! This hotel was right off the I-5, which enabled for quick transport to just about anywhere I needed to go between Tigard and Portland. The close bus was 12 line which ran until about midnight, so we could really stay out and party. *Accomodations: The room was big enough for two adults, contained a small fridge and a microwave. The Wi-Fi was available, but I guess from our room we couldn't pick it up very well. Sucks to say that was about it for the good. The water pressure felt like needles when taking a shower, the TV wouldn't work for crap (looked like it was picking up channels from 20 years ago), and there were holes in the blankets, like cigarette burns or something. The redeeming factor was that the guy running it was super chill, laughed a lot, and was pretty helpful when telling us about some other places nearby. Also there was a Chinese food place right next door. I gave 3 stars. Was exactly what I expected, and it was OK cuz I didn't spend much time there anyway. read more

I booked a room with one queen bed, which was for two people. I have never before been charged based on how many people were staying - just the number of beds, but was told I had to pay an extra $10 per night because I supposedly only booked for one person (the site I booked through never asked how many people). Once we got into the room, it was horrible, shabby and run down. I felt the need to document everything about the way the place looked because I was worried they might try to blame me for preexisting damage to the room to get more money out of me. I found part of a crack pipe left in a cupboard in the room and they didn't even bother to clean the mirrors before we checked in. I will be more careful to research hotels I book from now on. This place is a complete dive. read more

Stayed here one night, woke up with BEDBUG bites. This place is a disgusting nightmare. Complained to management about the bug bites, and they refused to offer a refund. TV also didn't work. Avoid this infested hole in the wall. read more

Portland Value Inn - Woke up with these lovely bites - Hotels Near Me - Portland, Oregon

ZERO STARS, like everyone else says THIS IS A DUMP, filthy place, holes in the wall, stained sheets and mattresses, the owners are rude and not hospitable whatsoever. We woke up with several bites. Wish I had done more research and I definitely feel like our stay was not worth the $115 we paid, the only reason we stayed here was due to poor planning. PLEASE AVOID. read more

Place was gross, was looking for my keys and saw dirty Q-tips under the bed and bunch of old food under the nightstand. Got a few bites from something in my sleep read more

It sucked, sucked, and sucked some more. The rooms were as nasty as the owners. We looked around in the room and then left because the place was horrible. read more

WISHING I HAD LOOKED AT YELP BEFORE I STEPPED FOOT ON THIS PROPERTY. Should be ZERO Stars. This property should not be allowed to advertise itself as an "Inn" or "Suites" in any town. The owners/managers know nothing about running a business and should definitely not be running a hotel. Weary travelers who don't want to pay the high prices for downtown Portland accommodations will get suckered into checking into this place. Please, heed my warning -- DO NOT stay here. In the ten minutes we had occupied the room we found 2 COCK ROACHES, very much alive. We also found MOLD in the bath tub and a non-functioning toilet. And, the managers weren't going to give me my money back because I had taken possession of the room. I did not back down. Insisted on getting my money back or I would call my bank to dispute the charges and I was going to call the health department. The next morning I called the 'real' manager - the person who knew how to run the bank machine - and he informed me that the transaction was voided before they batched the bank machine, therefore the charge would not show up on my account. If you don't want to stay and pay the high prices in downtown Portland, I would recommend the PepperTree Inn that is only a few miles east of this property. It's very nice and for only a few dollars more you get a pretty room and breakfast! read more

AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE! Reserved a room here through Hotels dot com for a planned stop on a road trip. We arrived in Portland earlier than anticipated, around 1pm, so we decided to take a nap after a light snack. When we awoke, my wife discovered ants crawling all over her, the bed and the bag of snacks was infested! When we went to the front desk to complain, the guy didn't offer to do anything for us - and the place didn't look like it was full. His only comment was we would have to get a refund from Hotels dot com. We called Hotels dot com from their parking lot, who in turn called Portland Value Inn and chatted with the guy we had just talked to, who then said he couldn't authorize Hotels dot com to give us a refund. He said we would have to call back on Monday, when the owner was in (it was a Saturday). When we called back on Monday, the owner wouldn't give us a refund because we didn't discover the ants soon enough - and Hotels dot com refused to help us out based on that. $50 I won't get back, but the Motel 6 we moved to was just as cheap and it was sanitary and a little more modern. Looks like not only can you not count on this place, you can't count on Hotels dot com, either. :~( AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE! read more

I don't care how old the hotel was, but the room was too dirty and poorly maintained! The floor wasn't vacuumed, the bathroom vent fan was super loud, the smell was bad. I could even hear footsteps upstairs, walking around above my head. The hairdryer sucks. The wifi was unstable and slow. No continental breakfast. Location is okay and the price was cheap, but I won't come back even if it goes cheaper. read more

Almost stayed here. Didnt. This has an option to book a room inline. Don't us it. There is no website for this hotel. Yelp allows the booking, but there are no security measures. Here we were preparing to celebrate my Grandma's 80th, and now we have to cancel a credit card. This company reeks of scam. I gave it a star to write this review. read more

There were stains on the mattress, the sheets, and the pillow. I found a used Q-Tip in the bathroom. I also forgot 2 books in the room and they claimed they found one of them, but not the other copy...which happened to be signed. I'm sure one of their employees took it for themselves. An awful hotel read more

Don't believe all of the negative reviews. I had a great time staying here. The area is safe, management is on point with what they do, and they will take care of you. Please give this hotel a chance. You won't regret it. read more

I really wanted to post a higher review. I have to say for the price its perfectly fine. You really cant complain about how something looks or if its "pretty enough" when your literally at the cheapest hotel/motel around. However the creapy guy who stalks everyone HE IS WHY I GIVE ONE STAR. DUDE STAY IN UR UNIT. I would recomend this place if not for him. There are at least 5 other places all on same road just about same price with no creapy guy watching everything you do. If he works here hes doing his own business a disservice if he is a guest the owners need to put a stop to his constant stalking. Your better off going to Capitol Hill motel for weekly rate/rhey will match the price. And they leave you alone. Im stuck here because to hard to move but if i have to I will go back to other place. I wouldnt except i dont like feeling spyed on. If this weirdo stops i will change rating. read more
