Portland Pensione

We had family stay here from out of town. Most of the reviews on here are 6-10 years ago, so we thought we would give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised! Room was clean and comfortable, we even had a hot plate to cook if we needed. The location is perfect in a cute neighborhood, walkable to many cafes and bars. The staff was excellent. Super friendly and accommodating. (From what I understood the management is new as of the last year.) We needed more towels and they were right on it. I would definitely recommend people stay here. Definitely not the same motel from years ago.

The hospital actually sent me here, I’m hoping that they had no idea the dump that they set me up in.. I would have been better on the streets probably.. especially with an open wound the size of a quarter and cockroaches EVERYWHERE!! Like EVERYWHERE!! They pained the floor black, I’m sure to hide the massive amount of roaches crawling around on the floor.. same with the shelving unit.. painted black to disguise all the squished bugs and live ones. Just absolutely disgusting.. I basically stood in the middle of the room and didn’t move unless to use the restroom.. it was the filthiest , sketchiest, most ghetto place I’ve ever stayed in my life and nobody should have to live that way.. even the homeless addicts deserve better than the Pensione. That place is toxic... DO NOT STAY HERE!! NOT FOR A SINGLE NIGHT!! and if you do, be sure to leave all your belongings outside for a few days to ensure you don’t bring home any roaches or bed bugs.. ewww.. I feel nauseated just thinking about it..

Lets start with the only positive, the guy who checked me in must have known just how crap this place is as when in the...room, he knocked and asked if all OK. I was not able to reply as on phone booking another hotel. Mr roach and his family were living in the room. The curtains were at best useless and the towel, well tea towers are bigger. Just avoid at all cost. I will be writing to the Portland authorities about this place as I cant see how it is fit for human occupation, guess thats why Mr Roach lives these. That is Cockroach. PS a rating of one is far to high a negative would be more appropriate.
