Me and my boyfriend decided to stay at the Banfield after searching for reasonable hotels online. The room was about average size, nice big bed, tv, microwave, fridge and very friendly and helpful staff. It was walking distance to the MAX, shops, starbucks, pool hall, sushi, and a trader joes. Once you walk like 5 min to the MAX, it's only like a 10 min. ride to downtown. Overall we were pleased, and would def. stay there again.

The Banfield is a clean, basic 1 star motel in the Hollywood district of Portland. Our room was a decent size and had two double beds, TV, microwave, fridge, alarm clock/radio, bathroom, storage and a copule of chairs. Towels and soap are provided, but no shampoo or hair dryer. The room had a TV but the reception was a bit fuzzy on some channels. The room was cleaned every day, including new sheets and towels. The motel has plently of parking and is close to MAX (the train) and buses. Free coffee is provided, but you have to go to reception to get it. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was closed for winter. Overall I had no bad experiences at this motel. Its not a fancy hotel, but it did serve all my needs, namely somewhere clean to sleep, relax and shower. Its close enough to downtown - about 15 min by train. I would recommend this place for families and budget travellers.

The manager decided that he wanted to rent the rooms on a nightly rather than a weekly basis, so he lied to our faces and kicked us out. He refused to refund our money.

Far from fancy, but it's close to the Bohemian district, where my son lives. Econolodge is the only other choice nearby, & it's about the same quality.

I was fooled by the picture and description on Expedia and I was VERY disappointed in this dirty, dingy motel. The only good things I can say are the staff were helpful, the location was convenient to public transportation, and when I requested a larger room, they complied (for a minimal $5 per night fee).
