I was in Portland for an orientation at OHSU with three of my collegues and thought this place seemed like a convenient spot. We had 4 to a room with 2 double beds so things were pretty tight, but it made it worse that their ways of running things were completely ridiculous. Not only was it $12 a night to... more

I booked a room for my sister and her husband who came visit us in downtown Portland. I read some bad review about this hotel but I thought maybe those people were just having too picky. However, I was wrong. This stay for my sister and her husband turned out to be a nightmare. First, the hotel is old and... more

Do not stay here if for no other reason than the service is terrible. This hotel was chosen for a function we were attending. Prior to arival, I tried to change our reservations over the phone; I was unable to speak a compentent person - so I gave up on the phone and decided it might be easier in person.... more

We had been politely "warned" about this hotel, which is used for university-funded visits. But our experience has been quite good. Our King room is comfortable and good size. Nothing real fancy, but roomy. There's a small refrigerator and free Internet in the room. Carpets are a bit worn, but that's balanced by the great location next to Portland State... more

I recently stayed at the University Place on a short visit to Portland State University. The hotel is within walking distance of campus, which is definitely it's main advantage. Overall my stay was uneventful. The staff were very nice and accommodating and helped me when I locked my key in the room. The rooms were adequate, perhaps a bit dated;... more

This hotel was one of the worst I have ever seen. Pictures deceive you online. When I arrived for a conference I checked into my room and went to use the bathroom. I lifted the toilet seat, only to find that it had not been flushed, and therefore not cleaned. I called the Front Desk and said I would like... more

Unfortunately the ambience is dismally grey, and the personnel appear to reflect the setting. While they were polite, their responses were chilly and short. The rooms had no luggage racks so the suitcases remained on the desk top or on the one chair. The shelf for toiletries by the sink was taken up by the coffee maker, so there was... more

The University Place is a hotel on the grounds of the university, so its location is really good if you don't want to have a car, or if you do but don't feel like paying a fortune for parking. They charge, but a nominal amount, like $12/night. Easy access to the free rail service. Other than that, there is not... more

We came to Portland to visit our son. We booked a room for 5 nights at UP. We flew into Portland very late, took a cab from the airport ($45 with tip) and were greeted by a friendly staff member when we arrived at the hotel. We had a king size with balcony looking over the outdoor pool and courtyard.... more
