What guests think
At Economy Inn, reviewers highlight friendly, accommodating staff, good value for the price, and a no-frills stay in a convenient spot near transit, including the MAX light rail and buses, and the Alibi tiki bar.
Beds are widely described as comfortable. Several guests mention noise from nearby trains, the MAX line, or patrons at the bar, and some raised safety concerns in the surrounding area. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with some reports of smoke odors, stains, trash, or bathroom grime alongside many notes of tidy rooms. Expect a basic, good-value stay with tradeoffs.

No frills hotel, but definitely worth the price. The first room we went to was smoky, but the front desk guy immediately made it right and took us to another room. No issues after that.

For the price, this was honestly nicer than I thought. The bed was actually super comfy, no bugs. the bathroom was clean, and the heater worked well. The tv timed out from some parental control thing my second night but I switched to my device so it was fine. If you’re new to Portland, there are sketchy people everywhere, and you can’t avoid it. However this place is minimal and is in a nice neighborhood. Across the street is a great place called the alibi that anyone would love (not an ad I promise). There’s a nice neighborhood to walk and a green patch behind the building. The cleaning lady is nice, as are the hosts. The only suggestion I have is finding a way to utilize a digital pay option for the washer and dryer, or a change machine. Awesome to have one though! I’ll be returning for sure.

This was a basic hotel room, but very clean with a remarkably comfortable bed. If you don’t need frills, it’s perfect, and at literally half the price of “fancier” hotels (especially when all the taxes and fees are tacked on). We’ll be back the next time we stay in Portland.

Room was very clean, and the front desk service was very kind and accommodating. I would only feel comfortable staying solo, as opposed to having my family stay. Another guest adjacent to my room was yelling and cursing all night, possibly on drugs of some kind, and the surrounding night-life was questionable. However, for the price and quality of the room my solo experience was fine.

Location was great. Safety for my self, my guest and my vehicle was a concern. Was informed by manager that it was a non-smoking facility yet upon entering the room it was very apparent that the previous tenant had not adhered to this policy. The wall in the bathroom had what appeared to be dried mucous. There was long hair in the drain of the shower.

The hotel itself was fine, very clean and tidy. The staff was all really nice. My only complaint is that the bathroom was very very tiny. Like, could barely change or use the toilet without risk of hitting a wall. Otherwise was pretty good! Neighborhood seems a tiny bit shady, and other guests were loud at night. But neither of those things are the fault of the hotel. Two pretty good bars right across the street as well! Fqirly close to a max station.

Portland has some issues that there is no escaping. We chose to stay in this motel because of its proximity to The Alibi tiki bar over the road. For a one night stay, the motel was perfect. Clean and comfortable bed with a good shower/bath. The guy who checked us in was friendly and welcoming. We'd stay here again if we found ourselves in Portland.

The manager/owner, Phil, has always been easy to reach, accommodating and super pleasant . The beds and pillows are easily as comfortable as any expensive boutique hotel I’ve been to and I’ve been living in hotels across the globe for a while. Towels and sheets are always fluffy and spotless. There are definitely some cosmetic issues but they don’t effect my comfort so I’m totally ok with anything that doesn’t directly impact my comfort or safety

It was an alright motel for the price. It was right across the street from a really cool Tiki bar which was a huge plus. And it was about a 10-15 min walk from another street that had a bunch of restaurants and bars in a nice area and that was really cool. A couple things about the room though that were not the greatest. When I started to run the water for the shower, it was a brown color. Wouldn't go away unless I turned it off and then back on again to cold water and then rotate to hot. This was super weird. The bathtub/shower is really cramped. You will likely hit your elbows on the wall while washing. The toilet was awkwardly close to the wall in front of it. If you are a tall or overweight person, it's highly unlikely you will not fit. If you bend forward you hit your head on the wall. It so cramped and strange. Also the outlet in the desk I had did not work.

You will likely hit your elbows on the wall while washing. The toilet was awkwardly close to the wall in front of it. If you are a tall or overweight person, it's highly unlikely you will not fit. If you bend forward you hit your head on the wall. It so cramped and strange. Also the outlet in the desk I had did not work.
It was an alright motel for the price. It was right across the street from a really cool Tiki bar which was a huge plus. And it was about a 10-15 min walk from another street that had a bunch of restaurants and bars in a nice area and that was really cool. A couple things about the room though that were not the greatest. When I started to run the water for the shower, it was a brown color. Wouldn't go away unless I turned it off and then back on again to cold water and then rotate to hot. This was super weird. The bathtub/shower is really cramped.

I booked his place because reviews said it was clean. To be fair I think it was clean but the room smelled so bad like a wet dog. It didn’t feel clean. All of the furniture was beat up pretty bad. For the price it was an ok place and the front desk guy was great

Not the best but also not the worst. It was clean mostly but the tv and remote were not working too well. I was just tired just needed a place to crash with a shower for a decent price and it worked.

It's OK and safe to stay, but don't expect much.
