Portlander Inn And Marketplace

The room was clean. That's really pretty much it.

After waiting about 10 minutes for the clerk to finish taking phone reservations (and apparently being unable to do anything else in parallel), we were able to check in, and we went to find out room. However, we discovered that the hotel/truck stop/whatever was hosting a classic car show (which the clerk didn't bother telling us about, nor were we informed ahead of time). About 2/3 of the parking lot was roped off for the event, including all of the parking that was anywhere near the building where our room was, and we had to go back to the check-in desk to ask where we should park and how to even get to our room. His solution: walk (with luggage) through the car show, around the sound stage (because the entrance to the building was fenced off), and through the neighboring truck refueling station's parking lot... Only to find that there wasn't even an elevator to help get our bags up to our second floor room. We later discovered a safer passage through a strange back-alleyway behind the hotel and marketplace (that for some reason either the staff didn't know about or didn't bother informing us about), but it was only slightly less inconvenient. But, for the cherry on top, we were awoken at about 7am by the blaring PA system and the rev of big-block engines right outside our closed window. I like classic cars and all, but this was not good. The only plus about this place was that the room was cleaner than I was expecting, but this isn't anywhere near a big enough plus to bring me back (unless I take up long-haul trucking and find myself needing somewhere to sleep on the OR-WA border).
