Portland Pensione

I don't know why all the bad reviews? I found my stay there quite homely and comfortable. The service was decent and up to par with even the best of hotels out there, one of the managers even made me some breakfast and helped me when my car broke down. As for location, not to swell but they can't help that. I'm not from Portland so this motel was 90% the very heart of Portland itself, so don't miss out on this nostalgic peace of property and it's bright eyes employee's.

This was the most despicable & nasty hotel I have ever stayed at!! We should have left as soon as we saw cockroaches coming out of the microwave. The owners are rude and condescending. There are no posted hours for the office. They yell at you if you ring the bell before 10am. I was mortified when the sheet came off the bed. Burn holes and horrible stains. We heard gun shots a few blocks away & the police said someone had been shot & killed. We asked for a different room because the door didn't lock. They did finally give us a different room & that one was even filthier than the one prior. This place should be investigated & closed forever!! $100 a night & a nonrefundable $50 cleaning fee??? Are you kidding me?!!!! RUN

Nasty, gnarly, prison-style whitewashed cinderblock rooms at least, the ones that I'VE seen, clogged toilet, audio-only TV with a black picture, and creepy-crawly ne'er-do-well peeps living, and hanging about, there. Once, in BROAD DAYLIGHT, I watched some guy kick a room's door open; then he charged in, screaming & yelling SOMEONE'S name who wasn't there .

I’m surprised this place hasn’t been shut down. Homeless shelters are cleaner then this place. And if you find this place nice or comfortable. Then you are a straight up dirt bag

This is by far was the worst motel I have ever seen. I really can't describe how bad it was. with bed bugs to boot!!Rooms: 1/5

Short and sweet, The poor reviews here give this grimy establishment entirely too much credit. This is BBB report quality, and that's what I plan on following through with when I get back to the states. 0 starsRooms: 1/5

This place should be shut down. Inhumane, dangerous and disgusting. Do not stay here.Rooms: 1/5

DISGUSTING IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!! Run far away. There are other places to stay. Don’t waste your time or your health.Rooms: 1/5

Someone came in the room twice during the week stay. I mean unlocked the door and walked in on day 3 and day 6. Didn't get much sleep with the bed bugs keeping me up at night. The hospital put me in the filthiest room I've ever been in.

The room I stayed in to recover from being in the hospital didn't have any phone or clock which caused me to miss my Dr.appts I COULDN'T miss. I was woken up by the manager ? at 11am my first morning. She was asking for ice from my freezer and told me my room was the only 1 that had an ice tray. Which of course, it didn't. I was visiting my sister there 1 week prior when we heard arguing and then a window shattering. We opened the door to a naked man who then came up the stairs to her room and broke her 2 windows. At $100+ a night, there are PLENTY of motels in the city for a lot less that come fully equipped minus naked man assaulting women! Even though my room was paid for, I would rather have been in a tent than stay in the Pensione....Did I mention the cockroaches?
