The exterior resembled a seedy drive-in motel, especially since the area surrounding the back property was a vacant lot.
The motel is conveniently located next to a TriMet bus stop and had several fast food chains across the street.
At first appearance of my room, it looked clean and appointed with a bed, 2 nightstands with lamps, a desk, a wall-mounted tv, microwave, small refrigerator, a bureau, and an open closet. The bathroom was clean with a toilet, shower, a sink, and a towel rack. The towels definitely need an upgrade - they were small, thin, scratchy, and full of lint.
The bed was uncomfortable, and upon closer view, I found a bug on the pillow, so I decided not to sleep under the sheets.
The clerk, however, did allow me to check-in early(around 10:30am) as there was a room available. Normal check-in was 3pm, so I was grateful for his kindness.
Unfortunately, for the one night that I was there, there was a street takeover at the intersection at 3am, and I was awakened to loud screeching tires that went on for 45 minutes. Many police cars, with sirens blaring, proceeded to drive up and down the intersection breaking up the takeover for the next 15 minutes. Apparently, the reason the police took so long in stopping these "car enthusiasts" was a shortage of staff! So be warned, this can be an "unsafe" area, but more likely, just bad luck and timing, so good luck!
