Shilo Inn Portland Rose Garden - Convention Center

Very Poor
Traveller Type:
  : Close to convention. Walking distance to the conference center
  : 1st the door to enter to the front desk / checking area is always lock. I have to talk to a small glass window with a speaker. 2nd when they let me in exacrly at 4pm the front desk wreaksof cigarette and pot smells. I had a headache just standing there .Not a well ventilated area. The front area is not welcoming, no chairs to make you feel welcome and very small.3rd : I got there 3 hours early and I asked if they couldn't let me check in early. NOPE. Check in was exactly at 4pm. Drove and walked afou d to utilized my extra time. Came in 30 minutes early. Have to wait in the parking lot. Parking lot only have 3 cars park in there. One lcar ooks live in.. Parkn g lot could used lights to illuninate the area and to feel safe.4th when they let us in the room the skinny door was really dated past the door is an old ice machine labelled not working on free hand. The hallway wreaks of some indian food. Is so pungent. Everything is carpetted hallways to stairs to our room.. a window was slightly open with air freshner to mask the smell. Now i am asian mom and i cook strong scent that need to be cook only at home..5th my room the bed is well done. Looks clean. Bed is hard as rock. It has a nice small refrigerafor and a.microwave. Outdated furniture and curtians. Overall the whole.place is outdated.BUT the carpet on my... it is filthy with some ddied spillage marked in there. Clearly the carpet needs to be vacuum.6th bathroom has molds in the tiles.7th aircon is looks disgusting and took a while to cool the room and the dead bolt does not work .I was tempted to go across the other hotel.named Crown Plaza. And their price per room is comparable by $10.00 . SHILO IS $163 PER night while Crown Plaza hotel is $197 with pool, spa and intercontinental breakfast. Shilo is just a room.I choose shilo for convinience and proximity to the place but I WOULD NEVER back there again. Please dont recommend them anymore. Not worth my dime. I check out early.

  : Booking in was great and friendly and met expectations. My room on the ground floor was as requested. The bathtub was delightful after the STP 208miles ride. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well
  : I think that some remodeling and upgrade work would benefit the property. the general impression is dark and dingy and the reception area is very small.

  : I stayed in this Hotel for 6 nights, since I had to deal with business matters just 2 blocks away. Room was tidy and clean, definitely a "2-star" traveller's priced bargain. The larger sized A/C unit was adequately functional, though a bit noisy.
  : The bathroom door swing makes entering or exiting the small bathroom somewhat difficult, since it is rather quite cramped. The double queen beds in the large room were adequate, but the dated furnishings looked worn, though still serviceable.

  : It was quiet at night
  : The out-dated features

Poor
Traveller Type:
  : The hotel had a very potent mildew smell. One room had burn holes in the sheets along with the smoke detector tossed into a dresser (obviously the person who rented the room before us smoked and probably caused the burn on the sheets. So disgusting that they probably didn't change the sheets.) The other room we had didn't even have a fitted sheet. Overall sucked, but at least it was a room to stay in I guess
