Portland Pensione

This is a homeless shelter

Nothing, bunch of meth heads, sheets were thrown out in the open, peopled wandering around the court yard cracked out of their minds. Never stay here.

Everything

The staff were very pleasant and accommodating for late check-in.

First I did not get a receipt for my cash payment. So there is a concern that I will be double billed on my credit card used to reserve it as well? Second it's not really a typical hostel or hotel location but rather in old apartment complex turned into a hostel. The facilities are dilapidated and extremely in high-need of upgrade of the basics like astetics, paint, mattresses and HYGENIC PLASTIC COVERS that are not old or pillows that are not crumbling and falling apart. But wow, the bathroom fixtures and tubs are chipping and extremely in need of upgrading. 3rd the other reviews informed me of these possible matters with hints here and there. But for a $46 location, the price after taxes, it is priced way too high compared to other locations like hostels in the area with a higher rating for less money.

Good staff and good people who are staying at Portland Pensione

I didn’t like the living arrangements. My complimentary towel, soap, blanket, pillow and sheets were dirty. My bed was dirty and it was hard to sleep because I kept feeling like I had to itch all the time. And there was a payment problem when I got there. I was suppose to pay online then pay the tax at the hotel but I guess something messed up and I had to pay again at the Pensione

They accepted my credit card, whereas they generally only accept cash or debit. I was given a roll of toilet paper at the front desk upon check-in. Lots of eating places nearby, IMAX .9 miles away, homeless people scattered about, tents set up on wide sidewalks and nearby parking lots at night: nice homeless people ready with a smile or laugh, not pan handling. Lost credit card was returned at local fast food joint, very busy streets during weekdays, not too busy on weekends, light-rail station 0.75 miles away. Slept here four nights.

No sheets, no towels, no lamps by the bedside, no nightstands to put a lamp on, no carpet (painted black wood floor), no soap, no shampoo, no trash can, no WiFi, very loud heater that wakes me up when it cycles from off to on, no hangers, no closet, no hair dryer, no cups at all, no cofee maker, kitchen but no microwave or range to heat something on, dirty shower curtain with brown stain: blood or poop, loud music playing with angry argument in adjacent room, people hooking up and talking at random times through he night, no refund policy, 0.8 miles down dark streets to convention center, and no housekeeping. No phone or way to contact the office, no one manning the front desk: ring the doorbell for service. White Van parked out front with homeless person living in it, lots of Nestles soup inside the hoarded trash in front seats. No breakfast, no vending machines, no ice, no clip to keep curtain closed.

Nothing super horrible

There was bugs crawling over the walls and bed disgusting hotel I've ever seen don't know how they are open still I didn't even stay and couldn't get my money back
