Courtesy Inn Motel Portland

First of all, I hate leaving anything less than a 4-5 star review. Second first of all, the staff, manager, and family were absolutely a delight to work with! They went well above and beyond what you would typically find in a smaller motel like this. Very friendly, kind, courteous and SO accommodating! The motel itself is small and quaint, and the rooms are big enough for one or two people. I was in a single bed room, BTW. Let's put it this way: There was enough room to bring in the 4'-ish desk and put it next to the bed, and there was still plenty of room on the other side of the bed! And the TV was HUGE! My room did not have a desk or even a table, which I wasn't aware of since I have never stayed in a room that didn't have a desk or at least a small table. I needed one as a work space while I was there. The manager and his family brought me a desk and office chair from where I can only assume was a personal one of theirs. I could not have been more impressed that they went this far to help and work with me on this! Both mornings I was there, the Wi-Fi/internet wasn't working, and both times the manager had to address the issue. Apparently it's a new provider for them and they are still working out the kinks...? I'm sure this will get resolved, but it was frustrating as I have a lot of computer work to do when I'm on business. The water took (and I timed it the second day) almost 10 minutes to get to a comfortable-enough temperature to take a shower.

The comforter was dirty, the water handles were backwards. No lightbulbs in the lamps.
