Getting there
Car recommended
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Location was good. Parking easy. Convenient to have a Safeway so close. Free breakfast was very meager, not worth mentioning. Front desk staff were weird and inconsistent, probably just scrambling to fill spots during pandemic. In checking out, lady at front desk refused to print off a copy of my receipt, just said “no.” Housecleaning was non-existent.

We spent a couple nights here last week. It was very wet and rainy and they put us in a bottom floor room. It felt dark and dank. The room overlooked the river. Perfectly fine, but Gladstone in general seems to be going downhill. It felt sketchy outside and there were quite a few folks cutting across the lawn outside our room during our stay. Staff was nice. The window was screened and opened.

We stayed here for 2 nights recently. We had last stayed here five years ago and the place seemed new and gleaming then. Not so much now. Walls, doors, furniture and fixtures are worn. Bed was comfortable and we slept well, bathroom was fine. Room includes mini fridge and microwave. Internet was slow and kept disconnecting. This part of Gladstone has become run down and parking lot feels sketchy, but we had no problems. Close to walking trail along the river. Probably would not stay here again for the price.

Terrible. looked at room and immediately checked out. Where do I start?? I don't mind the construction in the lobby... what I mind is that this place is dirty and unsafe. The door right down the hall from my room had a demolished lock (see photo). Rooms are RIGHT on the highway, which would have been more of a problem had the janky old heater/ac unit not been loud enough to cover up the highway noise! Of course, while admiring my view of the highway, I focused in on the COBWEBS decorating my window. Not a few... a lot! Did I mention the smell in my room? Evidently in this hotel, you still have to designate you want a "no smoking room", or it will be assumed you like to smoke in bed... (hey whatever floats your boat, just saying I didn't know I needed to make my preferences clear!) Who stays in a place like this?? The only saving grace is that the front desk associate allowed me to cancel my reservation despite their cancellation policies, but only after explaining that I felt entirely unsafe staying at this particular property. I chose to book my stay based on reviews and photos on the IHG website. Suffice it to say I feel tricked. Holiday Inn Exp. lost a customer. I will not be staying at their properties as the website pics aren't accurate at all to my experience. Not even a little bit.

We stayed here a few nights recently. Sadly, I can recall when this was a nice place. Not any more. It's deteriorated and is not clean nor kept up. Where to start? Mold, pick the color of mold you like and they have it. Pink mold, black mold, green mold, it's all there. Our shower was lined with pink mold. The couch in our suite had split upholstery with the stuffing showing, there was litter throughout the hallways the entire length of our stay, the guest laundry was disgustingly filthy and moldy with extra thick black mold in the washing machines. Marijuana. This is allegedly a nonsmoking facility. One night of our stay we returned and when we got to our floor were overpowered by a wretched reek. My first though, having lived rurally, was "a skunk sprayed here." I immediately thought that highly improbable on the third floor and then I realized it was weed. The entire hallway was permeated with the smell, obviously coming from one room. When we reached our room at the end of the hall, yay! The smell had seeped into our room. Hence doing laundry the following day to get the smell out of our clothing. I called the front desk to complain and they said they didn't know where it was coming from and couldn't do anything about it, but when housekeeping cleaned tomorrow they would know and fine the people $250. Well, good for Holiday Inn, sucks for every other guest on that floor. Next day asked the guy at the desk about comping one of our nights due to the smell (we ended up stuffing a towel under the door to minimize the seepage). He said he couldn't refund anything because we booked through hotels.com. So, long story long, this place is run down, they don't care about their guests, and the neighborhood is sketchy. Go stay someplace else. The pool also had mold, I almost forgot about that one too. Disgusting.

First of all, the staff in every aspect was awesome! The rooms were cleaned with great care, and I mean clean even behind the nighstands kinda clean. Having a walk out balcony that overlooks the Clackamas River is really peaceful, although, the highway traffic may take the quiet part away, but regardless its a beautiful sight. I Couldnt hear other people jostling in the rooms next to me, so Im assuming its built well. Theres tons of parking, and eateries and a grocery store right close by. Swimming pool and hot tub are situated on lower level but all is clean! The small town atmosphere makes it even more desirable. I will definitely stay here next time, even if it required me to have to drive a bit further to my destination. THUMBS UP!

The hotel is under construction getting a face lift. We were in one of the newly renovated rooms and it was lovely. The bed was really comfortable and we slept very well. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. We also really enjoyed the breakfast. There was a lot of variety and the food and coffee was really good! The maid service was very good. I liked having the Dove products available and mounted on the wall in the shower and by the sink. That was handy and prevented messes by little bars of soap. Also we never were bothered by construction noise. Thank you for a nice visit! Thank you to Sue and William!

The greeting: “There isn’t housekeeping, so you need to come to the front desk if you need towels and wash rags. The hot tub is off limits…”
The parking lot: rando people hanging out, watching us come and go unloading our luggage. Non-disabled people parked in disabled access spaces.
The room: reeks of air freshener, and for good reason; dog hair, pubes in the bathroom, vomit (not kidding, we have pics) under the sink.
Wobbly desk leveled with a bit of paper. Clothes iron doesn’t work. Refrigerator is crusted with ice, had to defrost to use it.
Looks like a biker gang has checked in. Good times.
What the hell am I doing here?
Don’t stay here. Just. Don’t.
Horrific.

Amazing hotel with the best staff. Room was clean and comfortable breakfast was nothing short of perfect with so many options! Pool and hot tub were great to relax in after work. They gave out cute little gift bags with bottled water to members and were on top of everything. Poor things were so busy and there were so many people in the lobby but they still make sure to get everything done fast with a smile on their face. Sophie was so sweet at the front desk she checked in with everybody and said good morning to each person every morning.

I've been using this hotel for the past 7 years as I would travel into the area. I was honestly stunned at how badly and quickly the property has deteriorated. Dirty. Unkept. Doorknobs and locks broken off doors and not replaced. Exterior windows are just covered with thick cobwebs and dirt. Upholstery in the rooms is stained, holes in walls are spackled but not repainted. My assumption is that this property is either going to be closed or sold, and so the current management is just milking whatever revenue they can get out of it without investing anything more into it. It has always been my go-to place in this area, but sadly it was the grossest Holiday Inn Express I've stayed at - and I've stayed at a lot.

I would just call them to ask. I'm pretty sure that the breakfast and evening lounge area would be big enough to handle at least 50-75, but I'm not sure what the maximum capacity is.
I have found mid-morning through mid-afternoon to be a good time to catch one of the senior managers.
Good luck! -Julia
