Family Super-friendly!
This was such a great find for a place to stay with the family. The staff was fun with my kids and the location was central and easy to get in and out of. We will stay here again!

Great place to stop in Portland
Safe, clean hotel. Perfect for a one-night stop with the family. The kids especially enjoyed the pool, even though it was a bit small for how many people were in it! We also enjoyed the breakfast-lots of variety and a few healthier options (almond slices, pumpkin seeds, with plain yogurt!)

I have stayed at this hotel twice now. This stay I was in building B which is in a slightly older part of the hotel. That being said I still found the stay to be good quality. The bed was super comfortable and the room was tidy and spacious. The front desk staff is really courteous and I like that the hotel offers a free breakfast.
It was an unseasonably hot weekend and the AC worked perfectly.

nice hotel for my family
Front desk staff was super friendly. They were very approachable as I needed assistance with a Band-Aid for my autistic son. They were very helpful with directions in the area and just overall a great crew

Outdated but can’t beat what you get for the money
You can’t beat the location, price, pool, free breakfast, cheap parking, and good staff. However, this hotel is absolutely outdated. Our room was clean with everything you need, but there was a wet area on the carpet where something is clearly leaking (near the bathroom door and along one wall) and the sliding door didn’t shut completely/lock (we were on the 3rd floor and so not totally worried about it).

You have to pay to park !
It was a overall a great stay! The Hotels.com listing does not disclose that you have to pay to park. Unfortunately, we had two vehicles so it was double the cost :(
If this was actually disclosed in the hotel.com listing, i would have avoided this property.

Hidden gem
I've stayed in a lot of hotels in Portland, and this was new to me. A bit hard to find the first time you go, but once you know where it is, easy to navigate.
Very close to downtown and the university (who runs the hotel), and access to main roads was a plus.
It's a bit old, and some things are worn and need replacing (carpets in outdoor areas were in bad shape).
No frills, but it was clean, everything worked, and there was pool in the courtyard, which I didn't use, but families were enjoying.
The price was reasonable, and I'd definitely stay again.

University Place Hotel is located close to most places I need to go in Portland. The bed was super comfy and the room was spacious. The pool was also comfortably warm to swim in. Nice quick continental breakfast perk to grab quick coffee and bite.
