Red Lion Hotel Portland Airport
The hotel was just okay. It is an older hotel that has lacked ongoing updates, but it was the most affordable hotel in the area.

Hyatt House Portland/Downtown
It was wonderful, slightly dirty, but nothing too serious. There was blemishes and hand prints on the walls/ windows or mirrors. The shower door wouldn't shut all the way. But other than that, I loved it
