Quality Inn Downtown Convention Center

I’m a traveling folk singer. And this place is safe and easy … I Bring Christmas lights to all my hotels to make them cozy. WiFi works Tv works staff is groovy there’s parking if you have a car and, if like me. The train stops a block from here. Straight shot no transfers to the airport on the red line … Easy walk over the bridge if want a voodoo donut or a taco at Santeria… I ain’t the ritz. But thats how I like it … Never stay in a hotel nicer than my apartment!!! That way I can’t wait to get home… There’s a lot of options for road food … Denny’s Burgerville Subway Starbucks … Just across the street … Huge shopping mall five blocks away … ROCK ON

I was skeptical upon arrival due to the reviews I was reading on the way here. However, the hotel has been nothing short of fantastic.
For $ 89 a night, you can’t expect brand new, fantastic interiors. The hallways here seem a little old, but they were clean. The room was really nice. The bed was very comfortable, the pillows were small but very comfy as well, and the bathroom/​shower was clean. It’s actually nicer than I expected! The front desk staff was nice and we were able to park right by our room. This hotel is also super close to everything here in Portland, so if you’re looking for a deal in Portland, stay here!
The free breakfast was okay (the reason I gave four stars instead of five). Although, free is free so I can’t complain too much. We arrived at 9:00 and breakfast ended at 9:30 so it could be why the eggs were a bit cold.
Overall, I will be staying here on my next trip to Portland. For $ 89 a night, clean, comfy beds, and free breakfast, you can’t pass that up.

Despite not checking in and taking photos of the hotel, I did stay here on my two-​day stay in Portland. The hotel is not really glamorous and a bit timeworn. But for $ 109.00 per night, all I need is a bed and a place to take a shower. You can easily tell that I am not picky and low-​maintenance in my hotel selection.
Among the amenities, there is a pool room, fitness room and conference room. The pool looked likes it hasn’t been used or maintain often. The fitness room is small with just a treadmill and a cable machine. The conference room is used to serve breakfast every morning for the guests.
On the plus side and around the hotel, there is a Red Robin’s, Denny’s, Burgerville, Subway and Starbucks; all within half to one block from this hotel. The Portland Convention Center, Lloyd Shopping Center, and the Moda Center are within walking distance too. The Tri-​met light-​rail system stops a block away from the hotel as well. It is great to have a light rail system to ride to and from airport and Downtown.
The people from the desks were really friendly and helpful in my needs to make my stay in the hotel and Portland enjoyable.

The good news is this a pretty inexpensive hotel room that’s more or less directly in the center of everything you could ever want in Portland, including super easy bus and streetcar access, and surprisingly quiet especially considering the amount of activity zooming around either side of the building. However, this is definitely an older building and was once a smoker’s paradise. There’s that tell-​tale stale musky scent everywhere, but thankfully not the bedding. I’ve not noticed this at other hotels, but the housekeepers will prop open the doors and leave the windows open to let everything air out while they’re working. As we were leaving today an entire hallway of open, empty rooms with open windows made for a chilly walk, but I’m sure it helps the odor situation. Once (and if) you can get past that, it’s a decently-​appointed room with regular cable TV (no annoying hotel channel or weird menus to navigate out of) plus HBO and Cinemax, a fridge and microwave, a standing armoir cabinet to hang clothes in as well as a built-​in closet in the bathroom. Plenty of space to unpack if you so desire. The room we had only had a shower stall, no bathtub, but the bathroom was configured such that the shower and toilet were in a separate room from the sink and vanity, enabling one to dress and groom while another showered or used the facilities. Carpets in the hallways and rooms were all new and spotless. On site parking is available for a small fee and Wifi was free. While it does have an indoor pool that’s open from 7AM-​11PM (no after party drunk swimfests), it does not have a hot tub/​spa. Luckily I brought my own pillows for the bed, only the smaller, square throw pillows were available.

Would definitely stay here again. Close to lots of things such as the Moda Center, downtown, restaurants, etc. Bed was spacious and comfortable. 4 stars due to the so called gym being subpar and the hallways not terribly nice. Overall though, worth the stay for the price.

The check-​in policy is different than most hotels and they aren’t clear about that until during check-​in. You will be charged for the entirety of your stay on the first night (not authorized, but actually charged). You’ll be charged before you even get there, they won’t keep records of the charge, and then you’ll have to present your bank account to them to prove that yes, in fact, you were charged. And then when that’s sorted out, you’ll be charged (not authorized, charged) for the rest of your stay on the first night. The check-​in clerk will also be extremely rude throughout this process.
And if your check-​in is as bad as mine, you will also have another guest come in to say the room he was given already had another person sleeping there.
The only redeeming quality is the soft bed but, given how dirty the bathroom still was, it’s really unlikely the bed was actually clean.
Stay at literally anywhere else.

Mixed bag here, so bear with me.
Looks like kind of an older property, kind of run-​down. Stayed there only one night and have both positive and negative.
Positive: Lobby looks nice and comfortable. Breakfast available. Pool and gym available. Staff is well-​groomed and very courteous. They really go the extra mile for you. The staff make the stay worth it. Covered parking. Extra security via key card elevator. Reasonable rate compared to other hotels in the area. No bed bugs (I’ll explain).
Negative: Again, looks kind of run-​down, shabby. Looks like they’re working on it, though. The mattress I had was worn out. If I rolled over, I either rolled uphill or downhill — too many nights with too many bodies, I suppose. $ 10/​night parking charge.
About the bed bugs. An exterminator friend made me super paranoid about bed bugs recently. So, I purchased a bed bug volcano. I set it up in my room and found NO bed bugs. YEAH!
Overall, I was satisfied with my stay.

I booked the place for one night and it was a decent stay. The room we had was a 2 queen sized bedroom and breakfast was included which was nice. However, parking is $ 5 extra. Other than that it was okay, you get what you pay for.

Just two blocks from the Oregon Convention Center, this hotel is comfortable with very adequate facilities. The room is a little musty, but clean and endowed with nice features such as a refrigerator, microwave, and easy chair. Internet access was good enough to play videos and make video calls using Skype. The breakfast is also reasonable for a hotel and saves you the need to spend money elsewhere.

My boyfriend and I took a long weekend and visited both Portland and Seattle. We stayed at the Quality Inn for 2 nights while we were in Portland. I honestly have no complaints about the place. For the price I thought it was fine. Check-​in was quick and the staff was nice. Parking was an extra $ 5/​night. The location made for an easy drive/​cab ride to East Portland and Downtown areas. The room had everything I’d want… the bed was very comfortable (better than the bed we had at our 4-​star hotel in Seattle!), the room smelled pleasant and the bathroom was clean. Breakfast was subpar, just typical cheap hotel food… microwaved sausage and eggs, waffles, cereal, English muffins, toast, yogurt, some fruit and mini donuts. Overall, if you just looking for a place to sleep at night this place is a good value.

One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. The first room they gave us was tiny and had no bath tub as promised, it also stank like mold and mildew. When we asked to be switched they put us in a room that smelled better but shook every time someone went up and down the stairs. No sleep– which is what we paid for. This hotel sucks, don’t stay here.

Thieves. Period.
They wrongfully charged me $ 272 for smoking in the room and now it’s my word against theirs? What a nightmare
Do not trust these scammers!

My nickname for this place while I was there was «The Lack of Quality Inn».
I unfortunately stayed here three nights while at a tradeshow. It took 45 minutes to check in, the room smelled like somebody urinated in it, the area around the hotel did not feel safe. This dump is definitely in the top five of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at. On a positive note the apples at the breakfast buffet were very good. I would avoid this crap hotel at all costs.

No Quality at the Quality Inn…
Stayed overnight to go to a concert at the Moda center. Nice walking distance and nice concierge, but that’s it. The pillows are the size of throw pillows, so when we asked for additional, someone brought up pillows with brown pillow cases that had freaking BOOGERS on it… After already wanting to throw up from the mildew/​ancient smoke smell that about did it in for me. After trying to check out I see that they didn’t take my AARP discount out, the front desk told me the General Manager would call me back to clear that up, that they couldn’t do it (oh and it might not be available because they sold out — WTF?!) 48 hours later and I see the charge has been finalized through my bank and no call… I should have stayed at Motel 6, at least there I know it’s going to be shady, but they don’t over charge ($ 130!) for the crappy experience.

Decent motel nice and clean beds are great just two things the pillows are horrible and the bathroom shower can be a bit cleaner

PISS HOLE!!! Do yourself a favor and sleep under Burnside Bridge. Probably way more accommodating. The staff in the office were rude asses! I won’t waste your time explaining their vast ineptitude. $ 40 more bucks and you can get treated like a king at the Crowne Plaza right down the road. Next time, we’ll splurge the extra scratch. I’m amazed there still open. I’ve stayed in cleaner, nicer, hotels in 3^rd world countries w/​staff that actually give a damn about their clientele. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

I was under the impression that Quality Inns would maintain decent standards, but this location fell well short of what we were expecting for the price. The whole place smells like mildew. It was poorly lit, old carpets, beat up furniture and generally run down. This is what I would expect from a $ 50/​night Motel and is exactly the reason that I DON’T stay at those motels.
Reviews on other sites didn’t prepare us accurately for what we were getting in to. It wasn’t until after we were in the room that we researched the Unilocal reviews and saw the problems that people had with their cars being broken into. Fortunately, we had no problems with break-​ins or theft during our stay, but we took extra precautions after reading the other reviews. They actually charge EXTRA for parking!
The continental breakfast was at the bottom end of the spectrum as well. DIY waffles were pretty standard, limited cereal, fruits and muffins, etc.

It was an okay place to stay at for one night. You get what you paid for. Not coming here again.
I was really sketched about my car parked outside and being broken into but it was fine. The rooms were clean and both queen beds were comfy. The shower was a bit too small and the water coming out of the shower head took awhile to warm up. Also the walls are thin and I was staying on the second floor. I can hear people talking next door which was quite annoying. Lastly the breakfast food. My boyfriend and I didn’t eat the free breakfast because it looked really basic and cheap. We didn’t even see much food and there was about 15 –20 people in the room and the room was somewhat small which made us eat breakfast somewhere else than Quality Inn.

NOT SAFE!!! My car was broken into. Don’t park in their lot.
They have no cameras in the parking lot. I woke up to my drivers side window completely smashed. The front desk didn’t even call me. They said it wasn’t their fault and that I should clean up my mess.
Horribly rude staff, not even a dangerous area. Some of the hotel guests looked more sketchy than the homeless people walking around.
Your car will get broken into!

This is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at in Portland, but not the cheapest. This was a last minute trip for a funeral or we never would have paid so much for this awful dive. The staff were not helpful or accomodating, the room smelled so strongly of bug spray and urine that I couldn’t get to sleep, there was mold growing in the bathroom, hair on the «clean» towels, and the wi-​fi kept cutting out. Not to mention how noisy it was (and I’m not generally bothered by noise). There’s zero chance of sleeping in without industrial earplugs and those aren’t going to help with all of the carts banging around the hallway or the slamming doors. Oh, and don’t get me started on the «breakfast» or how the staff pops your english muffin out of the toaster while you’re standing right there watching it. Even the in-​room coffee packet had already been opened (but restocked in the display). On the plus side, we didn’t have to bring a toy for our dog since the room was so poorly cleaned that my dog was able to just drag one out from under the bed. I wonder what else is down there…
Don’t stay here. Stay in Vancouver or Beaverton, if you have to but don’t stay here.
