The check in was easy and Clare was flexible when I had to change my reservation by adding a third guest. Location was great when visiting a friend at Lois & Clark college. This place was very nice, clean and spacious.
A few pit falls:
- The listing stated the check out is at 10:00 am but, I received a text at 9:56 am to remind me of our check out. At exactly 10:00 am I received a call from Clare as she started to walk up the stairs to the guest house as we were exiting. I find this action to be rude and unprofessional. I was so embarrassed. I started my car at 10:01 am and my windows were iced from the cold night but, I didn't want to stay on the property any longer so, I backed out of the driveway without being able to see in front of me (Just so, I can get off of her property). We drove down the hill, scrapped off the ice from my windshield and continued on with our day.
- There was no where to store our clothes. There is a chair in the corner of the room but, that would only work for one guest to place a bag or luggage on it. if, more than one guest, you would have to live out of your bag on the floor.
- There were exactly two towels! I would have liked to see a few more towels as an option by not having to ask.
- The sign at the kitchen sink was tacky. "Wash your dishes" I get it, not all guest are tidy but, you are charging a cleaning fee.
- The bathroom was very nice but, the shower curtain was pretty old, thin and needs to be replaced.
Many places that I have stayed at, give you a sense of " Welcome or Thank you for staying" but, that is not what I felt here.
I don't have any immediate plans of visiting Portland area any time soon but, I will not stay here again.
