The Spotlight on Monticello Motel

Classic Comfort Just Minutes from Portland’s Music Scene

Monticello Motel is a retro-style, budget-friendly spot located just off I-5, about 3 miles from downtown Portland. With traditionally decorated, spacious suites featuring full kitchens and free Wi-Fi, it's a no-frills, comfort-first choice that keeps you close to the city's top music venues without the downtown price tag.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a quick 5-minute drive away from major venues like the Rose Garden Arena and the Portland Convention Center, making it easy to catch your show and be back in your room in no time. The motel’s location near public transit and major roads makes late-night travel simple. Plus, the quiet, climate-controlled rooms are perfect for unwinding after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking to save on lodging and spend more on tickets
Solo travelers chasing that bucket-list concert moment
Couples planning a chill, music-filled weekend
Fans who want a quieter post-show space to relax
Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind a classic motel vibe

Food and Drink Options

While Monticello Motel doesn’t have on-site dining, each suite includes a full kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator—ideal for late-night snacks or DIY breakfasts after a long night. There are also plenty of local eateries and takeout options within walking distance or a short drive.

Nightlife Options

You’re close to Portland’s vibrant nightlife, including live music bars, indie clubs, and relaxed lounges. Head downtown for a post-show drink or check out nearby neighborhoods like Mississippi Avenue for craft cocktails and late-night bites.

What People Say

Travelers love the spacious rooms, friendly staff, and especially the convenience of having a full kitchen. Guests often mention how surprisingly quiet the motel is given its central location, and how easy it is to get downtown or to local venues.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the décor is a bit dated—but for many, that adds to the motel’s charm. There’s no on-site breakfast or restaurant, so plan ahead if you're waking up hungry. Also, check-out is on the earlier side at 10:30am, which might be a challenge after a late night.

The Bottom Line

Monticello Motel is a clean, comfortable, and affordable home base for concert-goers looking to stay near Portland’s music action without breaking the bank.

Monticel-lovely place to stay

Liked: I loved having the kitchenette in the room, it came in handy when trying to save money from eating so much junk food when traveling. The nice big king bed was so comfy for my partner and me. We appreciated the quick drive to OHSU campus, and loved having our car parked right outside our room. It felt way more safe and convenient than other motels in the area. No extra charge for parking like all other hotels is a huge bonus. The ladies at the front were lovely!
Disliked: N/A
