Days Inn & Suites Gresham

A one star is generous.
I worked as a sales rep for 17 years and stayed in a LOT of hotels. This is easily one of the worst ever. While the staff was friendly, it was the dirtiest place ever. In our room the bath tub and toilet were not cleaned before they gave us the room. The pillows smelled very bad. The place smells like agriculture… bad fertilizer sweat and cigarette smoke. (I compare this to Mid Valley Cal, where I have also stayed… very bad smell) Don’t stay here unless you have NO other choice… and even then choose some place farther away with better reviews.

I left without staying after an awful experience with the «hotel manager». He was extremely rude and unaccommodating. I’m now working with Priceline for a refund since he would not refund my money on the spot. I will also say, by the looks of the main lobby, this hotel is filthy and unkempt. If you will have small children with you, like I did, I would suggest going a bit farther down the street, to the Quality Inn. We have stayed there before and it’s worth a little extra money for the clean, friendly experience!

Staff was very sweet. She was crazy busy but was very nice and made sure to let me know she had seen me and would be with me soon.
The room, was shmeh. The room smelled AWFUL and had a HUGE yellow stain on the carpet. The first thing my husband said when he walked in was ‘Did someone die in here?’. It was only for one night, which is okay. I would have spent a lot more money for a nicer hotel if anything had been available. The pool was small, but welcomed relief from the heat.
Other than the room stink and the stain on the carpet, the hotel was worth the money and okay for just one night. Any more than that and it would have been awful.

Constantly changing staff, VERY poor TV reception and a wifi signal that only works if you stand up on the bed and hold your phone as high as you can, it’s a veritable wifi yoga routine.
My husband and I are both suffering from bedbug bites, but were told that it was 99% impossible as the room had been «painted» only 6mo ago? What?
Waiting for more response from corporate, I want my money back and they need to pay my medical copays…
We did meet some amazing people there! New friends for life bonded by calamine and antihistamines…

Get away with kids!
This hotel has a great, well kept saltwater pool and hot tub inside — so much better than comparably priced hotels with chlorine pools. I took the kids here for an overnight adventure, the staff was very pleasant. No stinkeye when we went back and forth to the pool 5 times a day. Room was nice (high ceilings, clean, comfortable beds, spotless bathroom, little sofa). No funky smells or anything.
Burgerville (in the parking lot) for dinner, popcorn from the microwave after swimming, complementary waffles for breakfast they were a hit!

This is a good place to stay overnight if you are coming from out of town and going to a concert at the Edgewood Theatre. It has Burgerville (all organic burgers) in the same parking lot!
The reason I gave it a 3-​star is because when I arrived, the front desk receptionist (young girl) couldn’t be found for 15 minutes. She also took the bell away, so I couldn’t ring it to call her.
Oddly enough, next morning we went to grab breakfast and there was a homeless lady who was eating in the breakfast room. No one said anything, because we were all probably thinking the same thing.
After breakfast, she was asking to get a room, but was refused. She then started to walk down the hall towards my room right before me, then instead of exiting, she left upstairs. Not sure what happened after that, but it has been a strange stay here.
Besides all this strangeness, I will say that the owners were nice.

Warm and helpful manager, Anisha, made our stay especially good. This Days Inn provided a spacious room, with complete complement of in-​room features (free WiFi, frig, microwave, in-​room coffee, iron, safe — 5 pillows!). Also — indoor pool, computer service, and standard breakfast. This was a good value-​for-​money accommodation, but it was the particularly generous and gracious manager (Anisha personally helped us solve our prickly computer problem) who made our stay more than satisfactory. We recommend.

I typically never really stay in hotels like this. But, we needed something close and inexpensive and this was it.
Don’t touch the bedspread. Just trust me on this.
Rooms are smelly. Stuffy. Bad linens and towels. Mediocre front desk staff. Place smells like curry. Our room was cleaned late every day. Iron and ironing board are impossible to find. Parking lot has really small spaces and people who cannot park.
You pay a deposit for the safe. Not sure why, but just make sure you get your money back when you check out.
Internet was in and out. Computer in lobby rarely worked, and if it did, it was hogged with an old guy who spent his life on Facebook. Example status update: In Gresham, Oregon. Raining out today. Beautiful scenery, but rainy. Not a lot going on in Gresham.
Duh.
Only perk: Burgerville across the lot. Go there for breakfast. Then hit Bön Teriyaki for lunch.
