Howard Johnson by Wyndham Portland Airport

Comfortable bed

Checkin was complicated. I booked through booking.com and at checkin, they had a much higher room rate than my booking.com confirmation. It took 15 minutes for them to figure it out. The room and facilities were very dated, bathrooms were reasonably clean.

HORRID!

Nothing

Didn’t like the fact the shuttle passed me twice at the airport — had to flag down the driver after 3 attempts and one hour outside waiting; didn’t like the broken locks, requiring staff assistance to open doors; didn’t like rats in the parking lot and in the grass. Rats as big as good sized kittens. Didn’t like the vomit on the inside of the door of my room. Asked for a reimbursement and was told to return to Kayak to get it. Ouldnt get a reimbursement without more significant hassle.

There’s got to be a better place for the $$$

Convenient location

This hotel is a seven minute drive from the airport; we waited 40 minutes for the shuttle. We were actually in the middle of booking another hotel when the shuttle finally arrived. Our room wasn’t in the best shape (cigarette burn marks, hole in wall etc.) but sufficed as a few hour crash pad.

Not great

The staff was very friendly, the location was convienent. I did not have to pay for parking or to have my small dog.

The bed was pretty terrible and my first room smelled very badly of cigarette smoke. They easily moved me to another room which was less stinky, but over all not so great.

Old

At least it was quiet

Bed was terrible saggy in the middle.
