Motel 6 Portland Mall 205

Portland

The room was not only dirty but there was heroin everywhere not even exaggerating and I have a baby so I didn’t end up staying there. Sure was fun showing my Mormon grandma how to tell what was heroin. Seriously very scary and not okay at all. Never seen anything like it honestly. Was about 6 months ago. Oh and since the room was in my name of course I didn’t want to possibly get in trouble for that and so I told my very rude DHS caseworker at the time and for once she did something and I had a CPS case because of that. So them not sweeping and mopping the floor not only put my child in danger but had cops do a well check on my child and again opened a CPS case. Worst thing I have ever had happen at a hotel I didn’t even end up staying at. The amount of heroin everywhere was shocking.Disgusting

Worst hotel experience I have ever had

Property run down. Walks in front of rooms littered with cigarette butts and trash. Room needed a fresh coat of paint. Missing towel rack in bathroom. I slept in late and was just getting up when maid knocked on door. I answered and asked her to come back. She insisted on coming in leaving the door wide open while I was still in pajamas. I told her I just needed towels but she started to clean room anyways. After I told her not to and said again I just needed towels she reluctantly left. Not a room I could recommend.

Bad experience

The place was good as most Motel 6 are, Some area's were being remodeled I think. I only stayed a few nights before I moved on. This was back in 2015 I think. All staff were pleasant. For the price you can't beat the Motel 6 most of the time they good and sometimes better than others double the price.

Interesting

The name is actually "Motel 6, Portland Mall 205 on Stark Street."  We live nearby, and stayed there for a few days in 2017 during house remodeling.  We were pleasantly surprised to find it is set way back from the street and is nice and quiet.  Very clean and comfortable, and with fridge and microwave but no coffeemaker.  If you are coming from the airport and can handle your luggage on public transit, you can take the airport MAX (light rail) to Gateway and then a very short hop on the #15 bus right to the door of this motel!  Continue a mile west on the #15 bus to the Montavilla neighborhood, which has good restaurants (Country Cat, Ya Halla, and the outstanding pies at the Bipartisan Cafe) and many watering holes.  Or take the #15 bus eastbound (one block south of one-way Stark, on one-way Washington St) back to Gateway and then take the MAX to downtown Portland (20-25 minutes).

An overlooked quiet motel convenient to the airport

Sadly we had a shower that's drain is the slowest thing in the world to drain all the water out. Nice location and we had no noise at night. Sometimes the adapter in the wall plug would fall out because it fell out of the plug. We've never had the problem with any other wall plug. About 5-6 miles to downtown and close to Division Street with lots of restaurants there. Great place just needs to fix shower drain and wall plugs. Luckily wifi is free but doesn't work so great we only had two bars in our room. So nice place to sleep but go other places during the day. 

Average Motel 6 with some problems!! 

Well, I am the assistant manager of a motel on the Oregon Coast and this was my first weekend off in 6 years. I was in Portland for a convention and because it was a weekend in June I was never going to be able to get it off. I pulled some strings and did some begging and finally worked out a deal that I would work both days from my laptop after the convention was over for the day. I called ahead and verified with the front desk lady that they had a good wifi signal so I could work. I had reserved my room in advance. I arrived on Friday and the lady at the front desk was fairly nice. I paid for the weekend and went to my room. The layout of the room was cool and the AC was amazing!!!! That weekend in Portland, it got up to 103 degrees so THANK GOD the AC worked. My bed spread had cigarette burns and the bath tub had cigarette burns along the entire side of the tub. The towels were rough, stained, smelled, and you could not pay me to use them. I dropped off my luggage and drove to Fred Meyers and bought some new bath towels for myself. That first night the wifi was in and out and I had issues keeping a signal. Next day I came back to the room after the convention to find there was NO internet ANYWHERE on the property. I called down to the front desk and asked about it and the guy that answered very casually said "we are aware of the outage and I am working on it". 2 hours later I went down to the lobby and the same guy says "2 of our access points are down and I cannot fix them because they are located in rooms that are occupied". Are you kidding me? I told him that I was there for a convention and that this was my first weekend off from work in 6 years and that I had called ahead to make sure the wifi was solid so I could work from my laptop. I told him it was very important that I have wifi. He really did not care or show any concern at all. I asked him:"If I leave now and go to a different motel, can I get a refund for the night"? Of course his answer was "NOPE". I guess that its my fault for booking with Motel 6. But I did not want to pay $200 a night for a few hours in the room when sleeping and working. I've been to a few motel 6 motels in my life and never had an experience like this. I plan on making more trips to Portland for conventions and business meetings but I will never book with Motel 6 again. PS: the mini-fridge in my room did not work either.

NEVER AGAIN!!!!

If I start with the good - the only thing would be that the room we stayed in had the new flooring (the vinyl type).

As for the bad, the level  cleanliness was extremely low: parts of the sink were laying on the counter, one of the towels was previously used, hair in the bathtub, and a big sticky spill stain on the table. 

Even through the room is supposed to be non-smoking, the previous guests obviously didn't care or could figure out what that little sign means because the room smelled like smoke and I had to try to air it out.

In front of my friend room, somebody had obviously vomited, but the marijuana smell wafting down the corridor did mask it a little bit! 

Anyway, no need to go on, other than to say that   if you like paying $79 for a place like this, then you're in luck, otherwise, stay away.

Wouldn't stay here again - one of the worst Motel 6's I've been to.

We chose this Motel 6 because we had to change the rental car (one way rental from Vancouver Canada FREE of charge). The location is OK, the rooms too. The reception was solala. We definitely had better experiences with other Motel 6. We like to take Motel 6 as an overnight on the road when we are looking for a pure overnight option, as you usually park the car in front of the room and the packaging is kept to a minimum.
