Budget Inn Gladstone By OYO - Portland Clackamas

Smells bad

We stayed here before and accidentally got the same motel when booking. The bed frame that was made of angled iron was wider than the mattress and when you went around the bed you hit your shins and toes on it. The bathroom door had a hole in it, the shower curtain needed to be replaced. The whole bathroom needs to be updated. It was pretty quiet there and we slept well.

I was there for a personal stay with a friend. For the most part it was ok. The lady in the office could have been friendlier as she definitely acted as if she didnt want to be there dealing with customers at all. I also noticed that the floor was significantly dirty when walking around barefoot as the bottom of my feet quickly became very filthy. Almost like it has only been swept but not mopped in quite some time. Otherwise things were pretty clean. There are a couple small lamps on the wall next to the bed we noticed were both very loose and moved if even slightly bumped while plugging anything in but they still worked, we just had to remember to be careful. It was nice having access to the kitchen though and the price was very nice for the amount of room we had. Though the area isnt the greatest and the noise isnt blocked by the walls as you can hear everything outside and a lot on either side if they decide to get noisy...but that never bothered us as we listen to music most of the time and it helps drown out the noise from anything else. Other than little things its not bad. Its affordable and what you would expect from a place like this really.

It was very affordable and they have an app you can use to turn your phone into your room key.

The smell and excessive mold in the bathroom. They tried to say it was just surface mold but you could see stains they had painted over. There's also a lot of weird people that seem to just live there. A friend told me that's where all the crackheads live. I think they might be right. Couldn't tell if the strong smelling air freshener was covering smoke up or smells from other things. Either way, it gave me a headache and triggered my allergies.

Friendly at the desk and very helpful.

Not a good place to stay.
