Banfield Studios

The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the bed was very comfortable, and the only thing that I really was not happy with was the lack of television channels on the TV. They need a better cable selection of channels. It wouldn’t have mattered so much but I spent three nights there. Also, when I first arrived, I wasn’t sure if it was a compound of some sort or a motel as there is no real good signage and all the gates make it appear as a jail. It’s very well lit, almost too well well lit. Very safe for my car car, but overpowering and too bright for a guest. I felt like I was on display as I was wheeling my bags up to my room. It was a nice place to stay and certainly very clean.

The cleanliness and the night shift front desk service was probably the worst in all my motel experience. I cant in good faith reccomend. However morning shift was nice and happy.

It took 45 minutes to check in. No one was at the front desk and I had to call Expedia to call the property to get someone to check us in to the hotel and then she was rude about it.

There were bugs in the bathroom, the lady who checked me in was rude, she probably gave me the worst room. She didn’t tell me the WiFi password, and it wasn’t in the room, so I went and asked someone later and they acted like I was an idiot because it was printed on the card sleeve. I wasn’t told it was on the card sleeve, and it didn’t say it was the WiFi password. I might have gotten an infection from the bed. The carpet was disgusting. They didn’t even give me a blanket. The only reason it wasn’t zero stars was because the AC worked. I won’t go again, and I’m worried they will blame the quality of the room on me and charge me for ‘damages’ I thought it was a good deal.. but it seems like deals are for the devil

The staff here were nice enough, but the property is old and rundown. It is not a place I would recommend.

It was fine for the price just the intense carpet stains were a bit over the top (Room 108). Also, no real blanket, I had to use my dogs blankie from my truck. But, I would stay there again if it was as cheap as this time.

I made a reservation, but when I arrived, there was no room for me. You had cancelled my reservation, and I had to get another hotel. Very inconvenient. To top it all, you charged me a cancellation fee, but it was YOU, NOT ME, who cancelled my reservation. Please cancel my cancellation fee. I have complained to Expedia. Thanks, but no thanks.

I booked two rooms here for two nights. Checking in was confusing and frustrating due to Expedia and their hotel system not communicating well, apparently. I originally booked two king bed rooms, and ended up with one room with a king bed and a room with two double beds. The room with the double beds had a broken handle on the toilet, so you could not flush it without opening the tank. Luckily I could do this, but not everyone can. The parking lot had very limited spaces. The nicest thing about this place was that there was a gate to enter the parking lot. I would not stay here again.

The property was dirty with trash littering the stairways. The rooms were small with poor quality furnishings. A king room was reserved but "not available." No suitable alternative was offered. I left the property and found suitable accommodations elsewhere. Banfield studios refused to refund even a portion of my two-day payment. This is the worst motel I have ever experienced.

Was a good place to go so we could be within a few miles from our granddaughter

Dirty

DON'T BELIEVE THE PICS!!!!!! this place is super run-down and has long-term families from Venezuela living there with a million kids running around and screaming until midnight!!! There are not enough parking spots to accommodate all vehicles within the gates, so first come-first serve. The pics online are probably when the place was first remodeled 20 years ago but looks nothing like that now! Carpet is stained rainbow colors (not in a good way!), towels arw stained, toiletries are left used/empty, NO HOUSEKEEPING!!!, A/C broke while i was there and it was 90 degrees, no table or chair in the room like the pic shows, bedding is stained and old, and best of all - I FOUND ROACHES!!!!!!!!!!!!! total scam of a place! DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!

This property should not be an Orbitz listing. The rooms are being rented by families who are in transition - lots of kids running around. An important place for them but not a place for people visiting Portland. We were given a "smoke-free" room that was not and the manager gaslit us that it was fine. We could not park near our room. We asked for a second room and it also smelled. My daughter stayed somewhere else because she couldn't deal with the smell and I stayed one night and left afterwards (losing my payment for the second night). Do not stay here.

Parking was promised but when we returned at midnight from a celebration of life we were told that gated parking was full, we couldn’t park in front of our room and would have to find street parking. We eventually got the night manager to respond, but he smelled like alcohol and initially refused us parking even tho parking was included. When we expressed that parking was supposed to be included he suddenly found us a non-secure parking space. He & the security guy were truly awful, so was everything about the place.

Good location, very affordable, was very quiet very nice staff. Stained sheets, but smells okay.

Took 24 hours for my bathroom to be cleaned up after the toilet overflowed. Families living on the property. Only 4 channels on tv. Stains on the walls. No plug in for my phone next to the bed. Cool that it was close to things, but that's about it.

Please listen to the negative reviews on this property; not the positive ones. The one positive thing I can say about it is that it felt pretty safe, as there is a huge gate that prevents people from entering the hotel area without a key. First, they said that my reservation (through Expedia) had been cancelled. That seemed bogus, although they did have a room, and they did match the Expedia rate. The room was really unclean. Nothing seemed clean, not the floor, sink, bathtub, floor, walls, etch. Everywhere you looked at the walls, they had... something on them. Different things, but clearly the walls were never washed from splashes? Dirty hands? Who knows. The towels felt unclean. Things are banged up and broken. No bedside tables or lamps in the room I had. Lights on outside the rooms that shone through the blackout curtains, so if you woke up at 3 am, the light was bright enough for you to think it was 9 am. The whole place is grungy. It's clearly a long-term living situation for many families, which is fine, but it gives off a feeling of these poor families having to live in squalor. One sorry blanket on the bed with a couple of holes in it.

This place is worth the money and not as bad as it looks from the outside. If you can put your judgment aside, it’s one of the cheapest places in town and not that bad for its location and general look.

Good value for money. Basic facilities, but fine for a place to stay. Convenient to buses and train.

Very dirty, old, run-down cheap place to crash in a beat-up part of town. Blazing ceiling lights in hallways burning into room window made it impossible to darken the room for sleep at night with cheesy window shades. Tenants, in number, “hang out” in front of their rooms and common areas, noisy, wall banging, right near loud Sandy Blvd. Shady things going on in neighborhood. Was worried about my car being parked there. Only “plus” was it was $70 a night. Many seemed to be “living there” full-time. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
