Ramada by Wyndham Portland

Very good

Disliked: The beds were too tall, but found out later that I could’ve asked for a stool.

Very good

Boooooo

Liked: Hmmm. I didn’t like very much about the place…the tv was a large screen LG so that is something…the breakfast was pretty good tho not much of a spread far as options. But it was good.
Disliked: Ok so even early evening the main door to lobby remained locked. This is because of the area and Portland’s preference to the street dwelling drug addicts and nut jobs and fentanyl zombies over the comfort & safety of law abiding citizens. This area is the epicenter of this outside of downtown. So that was a hassle but fine. Next, front desk lady was rude or grumpy or both. Was informed when arriving that my form of payment is not accepted, even tho it was ok to hold the reservation & book the room, they would not let me pay with it. In fact none of my debit cards or ApplePay would work. Debit card from major bank only. No credit card or PayPal types. So I asked about cash. Yes with $350 deposit on top of the room fee. Since I’d be screwed otherwise I said ok. Walked 8 blocks to atm to drain most of my funds. Then as I was forking over the money I’d meant for stuffing in garters at Club 205 next door, the rude lady continued scolding me about not knowing the policy of not accepting payments forms that are accepted everywhere else. I tired of this quickly and pointed out that I might have known, had it been posted during booking or anytime sooner. Anyway. 30 min to get checked in and btw, it’s nearly midnight now. I walk in to the room and audibly sigh. First I can’t find a light switch for forever, when I do, it doesn’t work. Finally fumbled into a lamp. All told the lighting consisted of 2 dim lamps and two bulbs over the vanity. Sigh again when seeing bathroom. The tub is dingy and small, shower head was decent but really loose on its bracket. During shower it did fall off completely and dumped all over the floor and I had to rig up some crappy deal to finish. Oh the lighting in bathroom no better, one switch barely worked till I found the sweet spot. Mark the tap now I foresee a deadly fire in the future from that shorted out light switch in room 111. Dang 111 isn’t that some kind of bad juju? Anyway, I said it hear first. Ok so back to the present.

Very poor

Liked: Bathtub gross and no plug . Not that you would want to use it. Breakfast was not good. And hotel bad location. Look out the windows and the street is full of rvs and tents of homeless people. People smoking weed and wandering in parking lot.

Wasn't what we thought it...

Liked: The front deck was nice the rest was wore down.
Disliked: Well the place was kinda worn down. Here gun shoots all night. And when you look out the window people were shooting up drugs. And dealing them as well .

Bad

Great stay will be back

Liked: Excellent staff! Very helpful for us old farts
Disliked: nothing

Bad

Liked: Free breakfast.
Disliked: Everything else. The photos in the advertisement do not match what you get. It is a sad, dingy, worn out hotel that needs a major face-lift.

2 star very basic accommodations

Liked: Nice lobby with decent breakfast. Good coffee selection
Disliked: Old broken shower head, tiny bathroom. Very small room with old furniture. Scratches all over bathroom door. No room service when asked twice, had to search for towels.
