Solid hotel for a family stay downtown
I chose this hotel as the location and price point met my criteria. I was in Portland visiting my son and needed to be near downtown. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my stay. The hotel initially looked dated but as I checked in I noted how clean the lobby and how professional the staff was. This quality extended to my room which was large, super clean and very comfortable. Additional bonuses included reasonably priced parking on site and a nice breakfast provided in the morning. As the name suggests this hotel is near the University and I loved that it was close to a nice selection of food carts and public transportation.

Great place to stay
I really appreciate this hotel. It's got good pricing, pet friendly, clean and comfortable and as an extra bonus the police patrol the hotel (drive around the parking lot) on a regular basis.

Convenient Location
University Place is a good option if you are on a budget and want a comfortable place to stay with easy parking. The Orange line stop is right in front of the hotel, and the Keller Theater is just four blocks away. The beds were comfortable. The hotel has been renovating their rooms, it seems. The restaurant is closed at this time, which is a bummer, but the food carts around the corner have great options.

Great stay
The room was clean and comfortable. My son and I stayed two night for a medical appointment and we had everything we needed. I even worked out of the room for 1 of the days. No issues with WiFi or other connections. The breakfast was good. There is a pancake maker, cereal options, breads and muffins. Juices and coffee. Fresh fruit and yogurt.

We stay here regularly for Doctor appointments. It’s right by OHSU and the clinic that my husband’s appointments are at. We know this place by now and it’s where we prefer to stay when we travel there.

I have always stayed here when in Portland Oregon. Room is clean, bed is comfortable, water is hot, linens are nice.
Breakfast well presented, ample "cold" offerings. I was looking forward to cooked egg & sausage as on previous stays, ...but room rate was a good deal (= fair).

My daughter and I stayed in a 2 bed room. One of the beds had a very deep sway in the middle of the mattress. Neither bed was comfortable. The heater was extremely loud. I expected at least to have 2 beds that were comfortable
