University Place has been our “go-to” hotel for many years. Its location is excellent and right off the Tri-Met line, so traveling around the city is incredibly convenient. The hotel is only a block away from food trucks, excellent restaurants, convenience stores, and various shops. The main reason for us choosing the hotel was location and value as we visit Portland as a family. The hotel value has been gradually declining, but during this visit the decline of the hotel and its amenities was drastic. Where housekeeping would visit every morning to refresh the towels, coffee and tea, and toilet paper, it is now all self-serve. As a guest you need to call the front desk to request housekeeping the day prior. We stayed four (4) nights and had to ask the front desk for clean towels, soap, coffee/tea, and clean sheets. Where the hotel once offered a robust hot breakfast each morning between 6:30 - 9:00am, I walked into the breakfast area to find cold bread, muffins, dry cereal and bruised fruit. There was coffee and tea available, but served in shot glass size disposable cups. The rooms, once spacious and clean were dirty (I found hard candy stuck to the carpet), peeling wallpaper with mold growing underneath, and an over-flowing toilet that leaked water into the carpet in the foyer/vanity area.
