Portland Pensione

Arrived late, no one at front desk had to knock on door, lady sent her husband out he asked why I was there I obviously told him I had a reservation, after lady spoke to manager on the phone, he then walked me to my room which was hostel style and how disgusting that room was, cigarettes and tobacco littered the table, very trashy room, horrid smell. As it was 1:30am I had no choice but to stay. Soon as I woke up at 7am I left the property. I’m a solo traveler so I had the flexibility I guess but definitely not family friendly hard to even say it’s friendly for anyone

A flop house comes to mind when I think of this property. Ussually cab drivers know their town and mine was leery of the place. “watch your belongings” was his words of wisdom, but with only one other person in the shared dorm I was less vigilant. The storage locker was too small for my Rollie. Suffice it to say the room was clean, comfortable and quiet just over the river from the hustle of Portland.

It was not a hostel style hotel at all. But just an old and unclean motel. There was someone in the room next to mine playing video games most of the evening, and woke me up at 7sm with a loud drum solo.

Nothing Everything

Roaches druggies noise in the ghetto and the entire staff openly does drugs while working. Id sooner hide in my car. I slept outside in a chair i found the nights i was there. Saw other rooms You can only polish a turd so much. Hundreds of cockroaches. No exaggeration. No refunds or empathy from them. They are sociopaths though meaning they easily fake emotions. Really. For your safety stay away.

I just like the area Someone stole my PlayStation 4 I recommend to not go to this place. They took it from my locker that was locked. I didn’t pay attention to the lock that they gave me that was never in a package before opening. I reported the problem to the authorities. I also told the owner they did nothing about it. Theyre are roaches there.

staff was very helpful with my stay. the room could have been cleaner. The bed was not comfortable very lumpy. The curtains did not close and the light shined in all night long

Nothing! Roaches and people just doing drugs. Dirty, they gave my bed away to some random person. Roaches hanging out like they rented a bed. You got crackheads doing drugs with spoons. And the manager had an attitude when I called.

- Bathtub ground was broken, I guess down there was also a nest of cockroaches. - There was a small towel with pup (which I guess someone used to clean their ass), but even when I was shown the room it was completely ignored. - I was told to leave clean after myself, but the place was pretty dirty, at least some days without cleaning the floor. I stayed here because it was the cheapest I found available that night, but it wasn't that cheap. It cost me 50 USD, and for the same price I was able to get a much nicer hostel in NYC, so I think this is completely overpriced. Its real cost should be between 5 and 15 USD, in which case it would have been totally understandable not having the money to fix a bathtub or killing an insect plague, but it wasn't even the case. - (Not really a con) People were actually living in the bunk room.

Nothing it’s like to be on a shelter and it’s awful place, so dirty and smells bad

Nothing The fact they wanted me to share a room with a stranger. There was a 2 in gap between the door and the floor. I had to ask for a trash can and toilet paper. No outlet covers this place was a total dump.

I had a good stay. I want to visit again and stay at pensione.

Lisa, the receptionist does a great job Disorganized Dormitory. Risk of COVID

Location Roach problem, very invasive and throughout entire facility on migration. Kill em once you gotta come back S the eggs will hatch, which the roach sprays cannot kill.

Poor customer service, unwilling to change from upper berth to lower berth, even after explaining about my attempt to climp up and realized the unsafe conditions as the bed is not provided with proper ladder. Also they asked huge charges to provide a separate room....

We did not stay. We checked in and paid $121.81. The person told us there would be no hot water until he fixed the water heater, we went to the room and the bed was unmade, trash in the room, and stuff on the dresser. It was dirty. The place did not feel safe. We asked for a refund and we’re told no - there was no other room offered nor a discount - we left and didn’t stay

Crappie someone stole out my bag second day

This place is a dump. The staff are terrible to you. This surly shirtless man who was the owner was yelling at another customer at the top of his lungs. He called us all bums. The conditions were horrible. The walls were covered in mold and the drywall was cracking. There is trash all over the room. Dirty unkempt rooms totally unsanitary this place needs to be condemned. The beds were unmade they give you dirty sheets and a ratty blanket when you ask for linens. I was placed in a dorm with 4 other guys. One of them was a white supremacist with a swastika tattoo who was talking about how much he hates Jews all night. There are drug addicts and people with severe mental issues always roaming around the parking lot. Absolute worst experience I've ever had in a hotel. 57 dollars is far too much to pay. You should only pay 30 if that. Terrible place. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

DO NOT STAY HERE. I almost feel bad leaving a review like this, but I don't want anyone else to be put in the situation we were in! The woman up front was nice enough to us, but we had to pay up front, and sign some papers work that said no refunds, after seeing our room I understood why. This place doubles as something like a half way house for recovering addicts. Having these two things together is a terrible idea! Not to mention the room was a wreck, the sheets and blankets were soiled (literally blood stains on the pillow case) there were three of us, so she brought a "futon" into the room, which was something like a padded bench that was disgusting, covered in cigarette burns, and useless to even try to sleep on as there was an uncomfortable bar that went down the middle, and either side of it sunk almost to the floor when you tried to lay on it. The room also wasn't set up even though I had specified online, and later over the phone what time we'd be in, and that we needed an extra bed. We tried to all share the one queen bed that night, and did not get much sleep as around 6 am a man was walking around the courtyard screaming on and off incoherently for about an hour, no one stopped him. We left without checking out shortly after, even though we had paid for another night. We were charged $230 to huddle in a disgusting room for a few hours, worry about bed bugs, and listen to someone screaming outside our door at 6 am. This is really unacceptable. DON'T STAY HERE.

This place is not suitable for children. We called ahead on our way down after running late, and they informed us that we should cancel our reservation and stay elsewhere due to danger to children at this location. To their credit, they did promptly and without hassle reverse the expedia charges. I cannot recommend anyone travelling with children to book here.
