Extended Stay America Suites - Portland - Vancouver

It was a bit obvious that the rooms hadn’t seen any updates in a while; the button on the microwave would stick which prevented the door to it from closing until you were able to get it to pop out, it made some odd noises when being used, and the light near the bed didn’t work, and the one by the closet was missing the canopy part of the fixture. Other than the minor inconveniences of the microwave and light issues, the room was great. It was clean, spacious, there was both a table and a desk, a dresser and closet, a full sized fridge, and a deep tub for anyone that would like taking baths. The parking lot was enclosed and the gates for foot traffic required your key card to get into them. The staff was friendly and answered questions without looking disinterested or bored, I had two different individuals from the front desk reprogram my key card when it acted up, and one employee came over and warned me that there was something in the hallway after realizing what direction I was going in to make sure that I didn’t run into it or trip. I wasn’t a huge fan of having to enter and exit the building exclusively through the lobby, as all of the other doors were emergency exits only. It made it a bit of a pain when I needed to park near the back of the building, but I viewed it as getting my steps in for the day. Overall it was a pleasant experience for my little staycation get away for time to myself.

I found 2 cockroaches in my room. A friend of mine that I’d talked to also said that they found a cockroach in their room awhile ago here and that staff accused them of planting/faked the picture of the roach. I found one in my bathroom and I’m pretty sure the second one was in my bed and ran down my leg when I woke up this morning and I was sitting in my bed. I’m not too sure whether it was a roach because out of pure terror of bugs I squished it immediately, I thought maybe an ant but ants give off a pheromone when killed so I smelled my hand I squished it with and no smell.

Don’t stay here. I don’t write bad reviews often. There are security concerns. There was only cold water in my shower. The smoke alarm had a bag over it in a non smoking room. The hotel is in desperate need of a remodel, the heater was very noisy. Breakfast that was included was oatmeal bars and instant oatmeal. It’s a crap hotel at best.

The area around the hotel is completely fenced in, which woukd seem to be a safe secure place to visit. However the type of people that hang out at the hotel left this single women feeling unsafe, in addition to the security not being what it appears the fire alarm going off at 4am was not the best way to wake a person and to find out it randomly goes off on a regular bases from others that stay there regularly. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone,especially if your female or have children.
