Stay Portland - The Perfect Artist's Retreat in Woodstock

Location convenient to where we needed to be, shower was good, the bed was comfortable.

While generally surface clean, the whole place was very worn and poorly constructed. The wall paper was peeling off the walls-not a little-whole sections were missing. The couch was stained and worn, the refrigerator had a bad smell. There were many cockroaches in the kitchen and bath, even though we had no food and did not use the kitchen. When we saw the first one we went looking for cleaner and what do we find but roach and ant spray. So we are apparently not the first who have seen a roach. The air conditioner units were appreciated as it was quite hot outside, but they were loud and installed poorly, so the traffic noise was quite bad through the gaps in the window. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

It was a convenient location.

Sadly, there was a roach problem

A full set of kitchen appliances is available for cooking, including a refrigerator, oven, microwave, and capsule coffee machine. A washing machine and dryer are also available for use. good for packing the car !

The water pressure of the showerhead in the bathroom is a bit low, and the bathroom ventilation system is not functioning.

Air conditioning worked but was noisy. Coffee was good. Toaster worked. Towels were nice.

I don't see how anyone could think this was anywhere close to a hotel. We are now at the Monarch Hotel which is $60/night cheaper and far far better. Where do I begin. First of all it was impossible to contact a human being on the phone or in real time to talk about things or make arrangements. Everything was done by computer. We had to use a lockbox to get in, which required finding a particular message on a website with a particular number. It was a real pain. The light in the bedroom did not work. Bulb burnt out. Taps in the bathroom were loose. Water for bath was not hot. Shower was insipid and could hardly wash the shampoo out of my hair. And the traffic. Traffic traffic traffic. Noisy as hell. Plus the noisy air conditioner. What else. Lights are dim.
