Downtown was recently filled with BLM and riots and protests... But our stay here was pleasant. You don't see or hear any of those commotion. Also, there's a cool old telephone on the wall thats very antique. Gives it a vintage feel. I moved out here with my family to work and needed a place to stay for a month and I did just that. It is conveniently next to a Max station and Fredmeyers is a walk away. Also, there's a doughnut shop around the corner. The place is well kept and clean. There are pots, pans, stove, and laundry room for us to wash our clothes so definitely a plus. Its in a very nice area. Checking in and out was easy and we were given such specific instructions to make it super easy. Thank you to our host. We would definitely choose this spot over others in the area if we ever needed a place downtown.
