Dean was friendly and quick to respond. The bed was very comfortable, the water in the shower was hot, and the linens were clean.
If you walk one block east, you're on a trail by the river with beautiful views. If you walk one block west, you're in a pretty heavily populated homeless area. (These seem to be all over in Portland, though). A couple blocks walk out of your way or an Uber ride makes this a nonissue. Dean provides a map of the safe areas to travel when you checkin. I personally walked through that area a couple times with no issues, but wouldn't necessarily encourage others to do the same.
For the price, I'd say it was a good deal and would recommend it to others.
