I saw the pictures on their offical website. But when I arrived I was pleasantly suprised. The outside had new siding and the colors were changed on the building. When I went to check in I was told that the whole building was renovated but the new pictures are not posted on their website yet. When I got to the room I found a brand new floor, a mircowave and refigerator and a large flat screen television with over 100 channels of television. That is more channels than any other hotel I have ever stayed at. The Econolodge Portland Airport is directly across the street from the MAX lite rail stop. It goes to the airport and meets with other rail cars to cove of Portland and surrounding areas. The Econolodge Portland Airport will be my place to stay the next time I come to Portland

I booked this hotel specifically because it has a whirlpool and sauna but when I arrived it was closed. The hot tub was out of service but the sauna still worked although they wouldn't let me use it.

Disappointing but not unexpected from an econolodge.

If I could give this hotel a 0 rating I would. My husband and I were exhausted from driving and it was the closest place to stay. I should have read the reviews first. Within the first minute of going into the lobby there was homeless people in there getting coffee, the smell was horrible. We were givin our keys and we went to our room. The first thing we noticed was a dirty towel on the floor, we picked it up only to see blood stains all over the carpet. We left back down to the lobby to request a new room. We were told it was hair dye. The second room smelled so bad that it almost set me into an asthma attack(it was suppose to be a non smoking room) the smell was a mixture between smoke and a rotting animal. The same red/brown stains were all over the carpet. Again, we asked for a new room. We were then told it smelled in there because the smells from other rooms go through the vents, we were also told once again it was hair dye. The third room had brown splatter all over the ceiling and dark brown stains on the carpet. I washed my hands and the sink was so clogged that the smell was coming up thorough the drains. We couldn’t even take our shoes off. We tried to sleep in the room but the smell was unbareable. My husband and I were so exhausted we slept in our vehicle and showered in there in the morning with sandals on our feet. Checking out in the morning was the best part of this stay. I can’t rate the breakfast though because there was 2 homeless people in there eating the breakfast when I was going to grab a coffee. We travel all year and this is the first time I have ever left a review like this. I swear the rooms looked and smelled like people were murdered in them. I wish I was exaggerating. We phoned choice hotels and sent them all the photos. They have since opened up an investigation on this hotel. I’ve also saved all photos and will upload them onto every website I can.
