We typically stay at the Banfield when needing overnight accommodations near downtown Portland and have done so for years. We are consistently treated well and any problems are quickly and gracefully handled. We are aware of slow progress in replacing worn-out fabrics, particularly carpet and most particularly carpeting in the public areas. Updating bathrooms was a big improvement, as was... More

We stayed at the Banfield while we worked a trade show in Portland. The first thing we noticed was that the whole motel smelled like urine. You know a hotel has a problem with smells when all of the vacant rooms have their windows open in order to air them out. As we checked in, a gentlman of a less... More

Much of his motel located near Interstate 84 in Portland is basically inhabited by on a permanent basis by very sad folks who actually live there year-round. If it weren't for the motel they would be homeless. I'm glad they have a place to stay, but unless you're looking for a reality check for you family, it isn't the kind... More

The room was about average size, nice big bed, tv, microwave, fridge and very friendly and helpful staff. It was walking distance to the MAX, shops, starbucks, pool hall, sushi, and a trader joes. Once you walk like 5 min to the MAX, it's... More

The room had a TV but the reception was a bit... More

The manager decided that he wanted to rent the rooms on a nightly rather than a weekly basis, so he lied to our faces and kicked us out. He refused to refund our money.

Far from fancy, but it's close to the Bohemian district, where my son lives. Econolodge is the only other choice nearby, & it's about the same quality.

I was fooled by the picture and description on Expedia and I was VERY disappointed in this dirty, dingy motel. The only good things I can say are the staff were helpful, the location was convenient to public transportation, and when I requested a larger room, they complied (for a minimal $5 per night fee).

Don't be fooled by the "heated pool" picture- The pool is not available for much of the year. Bring clean sheets and be careful about the glue traps for mice. Other residents may be from the county, which gives vouchers for people for whom they try to find permanent housing - street people. I complained to expedia that I couldn't... More
