Budget Inn Gladstone By OYO - Portland Clackamas

50 years ago I’m sure this was a really nice motel. But it definitely has been maintained on a very tight budget. That being said, we were pleased to have such a nice kitchen with full size refrigerator and stove. The A/C was quiet but control knobs were missing. Bed was a little too firm without any pillow top. Price was half or less than that of what a nice hotel would cost.

TV was inop. Floors were sticky, toilet had a bad flapper and ran every 2 minutes. Room had a desk but the drawers were missing. Leftovers in freezer from previous occupant. No hangers or wash clothes. Bathroom door wouldn't shut and the sink plug did not work. Place was listed as pet friendly with a fee of $25. When we got there it was a fee of $30. That was per pet per night which for us meant and extra $120. This should have been explained up front!

The only good thing was how nice the cleaning lady was. I hope she’s being treated well in this rundown dump.

Property was run down and needs an inspection. The room smelled like mold and mildew mixed with cigarettes. The room also did not look like the room we booked it was small. I wasn’t even gonna bother making it an issue because the lady running the place was already rude our first interaction. She was also very rude about us asking for towels. We had 4 people in our group and we wanted to shower after our activities. God forbid we asked for clean towels. We ended up leaving early the room was so stinky.

You get what you pay for. I had ants in my room but I did find ant bait under the chair. It’s really a run down motel but I only needed a place to sleep for one night so it worked out. No coffee in the room so had to go to lobby that was locked at 7:15am. I waited until someone let me in. I would not stay here again.

Upon arrival, I entered the room and noticed an unpleasant odor. The floor was extremely sticky, the bed was unusually stiff, and when I sat on it, two bed frame supports became loose. The bathroom was problematic and emitted a strong unpleasant smell. Furthermore, the parking lot was fully occupied, and when I contacted the owner, she advised me to use my discretion and park next door or align my vehicle in the middle of the driveway near the motel inn sign. My stay was uncomfortable due to the circumstances, but given that most establishments were closed and this was a temporary arrangement, I had limited options. I hope that the issues mentioned will be addressed in the future. To enhance customer service, I suggest providing clear instructions and incorporating a courteous tone. This is my first experience with motel inns and surely will be my last. Thankful for the hospitality on this abode for the time being.

It was available

This place was disgusting! All of the bottom of our feet were black after walking around on the floor in the room. The was were gross and dirty like I was staying at someone dirty well used house. All the doors had holes in them with poor patch jobs, grime not just dirt but grime all over the baseboards. That’s not something I typically notice but this was THAT noticeable. The staff was not pleasant nor inviting, more annoyed and inconvenienced. Many spiders my husband killed and it looked like there were others that had done the same due to visible splatters. The beds were very cheap and not comfortable but that’s to be expected with budget stays. The toilet kept plugging up on us. We were here less than 24 hours and won’t be back!

Room for as reasonably priced. Having said that, you get what you pay for. Specifically needed a handicapped assessible room. For this place, it means you can get a wheelchair inside. Room is large, fairly clean but nothing but two towels and a bath mat. No wash cloths or hand towels. No grab bars in bathroom & I could barely reach the sink. This is very much like the old Motel 6’s we stayed in when I was a kid. They are pet friendly so I give kudos for that. We won’t probably stay again.

Loved the stay
