University Place Hotel & Conference Center

It is a dormitory masquerading as a hotel....

Good relaxing place to stay. It was very quiet, and everything to downtown was close by. A plus they let service dog stay.

The service was terrible. The staff was inattentive and rude. There was black hair in our beds and towels. The sliding door to the balcony didn’t seal shut. My cousin called TWICE and asked about paying for a roll out bed for his room. Both times he was assured it was charged to him and ready. At check in they told us they couldn’t do it because it was a fire hazard in a double bed room. Also had to pay $18/night for normal parking lot parking. Never again will I stay here.

Place was ran down and dirty.. The only thing good about this place was the bed. Everything was falling a part peeling wallpaper, dirty carpet, dirty tub. One of the reasons I booked this place was because they had a restaurant/lounge area attached to the hotel. After we got checked in we wanted to go down to the lounge to get a few drinks and relax before we headed out for our dinner reservations. We get down to the place and tell the lady that we would like to sit at the bar and have a few drinks. She says ok your in luck it is our grand opening and we are giving away free appetizers when you buy drinks. She asked us if we were eating we said no we just wanted to sit at the bar and have a few drinks. She tells us we aren't seating anyone at the bar. When there was two people sitting at the bar and maybe one table had people at it. I can understand if it was busy.. but they had maybe 5 people in the whole place. Why would you have a restaurant/ lounge area if you can't sit and have a drink??? We had to walk to a bar a few blocks away to get drinks. We wont be back.

We've stayed here several times and like the convenient location near Portland State and OHSU. Note that you will have to pay extra for parking, but the rates are competitive with surrounding parking garages. Easy walk to Portland State and Keller Auditorium. Quick drive to OHSU. There is a Max light rail station right in front of the motel.

This place should just be tore down. Also, they charge for self parking? But they don’t tell you when you check in, SCAM! Their front desk person was also on a hookup app on his phone while at work. Seriously?

Great location for downtown but parking costs extra. Service was great, retrofit for the hotel not so much. Beds are very hard but the rooms are a decent size. Bathrooms are tiny with very little water pressure.

University Place is a great place to stay if you're going to visit OHSU. It's the most economical place to stay close to the South Waterfront campus. There are other hotels in the area, if you're willing to pay a lot more for a room. The only negative is the restaurant in the hotel. The new company running the restaurant is trying to make the restaurant an upscale place to eat. There is a minimal amount of food available to vegetarians. The breakfast buffet is a disaster. I was looking forward to Belgian waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon. The new company doesn't have the equipment for Belgian waffles. The half biscuit I ended up eating tasted 'old' and was like a hockey puck. The sausage gravy was not a breakfast gravy. It tasted like leftover gravy from the previous night's dinner and might have been a bad attempt for someone trying to make red-eye gravy. Luckily there are plenty of other restaurants close by. I ordered food from Laughing Planet, which I couldn't get at the hotel restaurant.

Stayed 4 nights here - the service was extremely efficient and friendly and the location is convenient.

The room was very cold when we got inside.
