Clackamas Inn

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. Smelled like an ash tray. My room looked like dirty Mike and the boys went through there. Broken glass on the floor that my middle child cut her foot on. A lighter on the floor, under the counter and just flat out disgusting! Everywhere else was booked and I felt super uncomfortable and worried that my kids were going to get sick or hurt. Only one lady running the whole hotel and left us a vacuum to clean the room ourselves. I do not recommend this place to anyone who has children or need a clean place to stay.

Found Clackamas Inn purely by accident and very glad of it!
Driving up from CA for an appt. the next morning, we wanted to be as close to our destination as possible. A Google search showed us the Clackamas Inn was 7 min. away. Perfect. We hoped it wouldn’t be a run down, seedy place in an industrial area on the outskirts of town. It isn’t!
We were very pleased with the location, customer service staff, room comfort and they even had an afternoon «snack» set out for guests of chili nachos and lemonade. Breakfast the next morning included a make your own waffle station, biscuits and gravy, cereals, yogurts, pastries (individually wrapped, but not the CostCo bulk buy danish. These pastries looked bakery made and hand wrapped. The usual coffees, teas, etc. If nothing tempts you there is also Elmer’s across the street, fabulous in it’s own right.
Only two points kept my review from being 5 star — the continual road noise and the too soft bed. Being near a busy highway the noise possibly cannot be helped, but the overly squishy pillow top mattress probably could be altered, to be more firm, which would not be a bad thing.
The pool was closed when we visited. Bummer. After hours in a huge truck it would’ve been nice to soak in some hot water. (Or even almost hot.)
There are luggage carts too. Those really saved our backs when getting our things up to and down from our 2^nd story room. Very nice touch!
Nearby is a shopping center, Fred Meyer and a great coffee kiosk with an early morning weekday staff who are just too perky at 7am. but they helped get our day off to a happy start.

You can only polish a turd up so much. Super loud room on busy intersection with one inch gap at the bottom of the door so you and your neighbors can hear everything. Burn holes in comforter, old candy wrapper on floor, and filthy carpets. Super strong cigarette odor on second floor.

Smaallllll parking lot. I guess it’s just enough for people staying here. Could be roomier though. Also, getting into the damn parking lot is a trip. Please listen to the rest of these reviews and go around. It’s somewhat of a disaster during busy hours so just go around make the turns in and out of the other plaza.
Near by a Fred Meyers — which is a pretty convenient store especially for out of towners. they sell literally everything there.
Free parking, free breakfast, free wifi. Breakfast wasn’t much to look at and we didn’t get a chance to try out the wifi. They do offer a «snack of the day» which is pretty cool.
First impression of the room — THEIR BEDS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE COINS ON THEM. Do not be fooled like i was haha. Sink is located outside of the shower/​toilet area — right next to the fridge.
Somewhat modern — clean. Only stayed two nights during New Year’s weekend. Walls are pretty thin… you can hear your neighbors at 3am doing who knows what (TEEHEE). But I’m a heavy sleeper so that didn’t really matter to me.

Very polite staff. They even let us check in early which was super. They were also quick to respond to an issue with the jet tub. Very clean room and great breakfast. If I am ever this way again I am definitely staying here.

Room was descent. WiFi is nonexistent so don’t count on the «free WiFi included.» Wasn’t the greatest experience, wasn’t the worst. Price is cheap! Experience is cheap!

The room was decent. The location is near the highway, gas stations, food and convenience stores.
Not the best experience, but not the worst. I’m rarely in the room during vacations anyways, only in the room for sleep.
The place has free breakfast, such as cereal, yogurt, muffins, etc.

Good place to stay when out of town.

Clean updated rooms with very knowledgable and friendly staff. Nice selection of breakfast options and evening snacks. Pool is outdoors and is not an attraction. It is also not easy to get in and out of the parking area due to traffic and street configuration. Still for the price I feel you will get more than you pay for.

This is a very decent motel at a very reasonable price. But there’s something missing. The TV offerings omit PBS. The rest of the TV they offer isn’t worth watching. We’ve noticed the absence of PBS in many motels in which we’ve stayed, primarily in the south east. We didn’t expect PBS to be censored in Oregon. Is this some kind of conspiracy to dumb down America? We respond with the loss of a star. Otherwise I would give it five stars.

Probably one of the better hotels we’ve stayed in the Portland, OR area, its ease of getting on and off of I-​205, the size of the room was decent, Plus its also walking distance to several stores and restaurants
The price we got through
was very good ($ 71 with tax), and I would say there probably would 2 issues, and or some people a third one, the two main cons I would say, was the small size of the bathroom, and that our bedspread had a cigarette or cigar hole in it, in regards to #3, it would depend on your personal feelings, some people might think its a plus, others would think its a huge drawback, but right behind it is a adult entertainment porn place, so that would pretty much depend on your feelings towards that.
I felt the service we got from check in and check out was very prompt and courteous and IMO I I would recommend this place.

Come on people it’s not that bad. I’ve stayed in worse Hiltons in New Jersey and the staff was actually really nice.

I forget why we decided to stay here after some of the reviews but was really looking for something reasonably-​priced. Got to the room and was really impressed. Newer counter tops, newer bed spread and flat screen. Room smelled great and was very clean so much so that we came back through from seattle and stayed again and its approximately 3 miles from a very large mall, the Clackamas town center with lots of shopping and dining. Yes there was a porn shop next door but it has separate entrances so it was all good. We will be staying here again!

This place is absolutely disgusting! The hallways and the room, we stayed in, reeked like dog waste and mold. The highway noise makes opening the windows impossible, not to mention you could smell the trucks and the diesel cars.
The «breakfast» is a skip. Awful. Next door there is an adult shop.
Unsavory characters at the parking lot. Looked like drug delivery. More like meth.
Tripadvisor and
shame on you!

Such a GREAT value! The managers are fantastic and the rooms are very clean. They have recently been upgraded and are very modern. The location of the Inn is not great with the street right there, but Fred Meyer is cross the street and very convenient. This is not a Four Seasons or even a downtown Marriot-​however it is better than any Days Inn or Comfort Inn. I would recommend staying here anytime.

I found this place online and it was a few dollars more than the cheapest places and all I needed was a place to crash while in Clackamas doing some work. If I had known how bad this place was I would have slept in my car. The hallways stink, beds are super uncomfortable, clearly something living in the walls, very loud road noise, and the included breakfast took the cake because it included moldy bagels. Unilocal needs to find a way to give a rating below one star.

My biggest problem with the hotel was the hidden charges that were not disclosed in advance. I will not stay there again.

We will never stay here again — while the website for this hotel is very nice the hotel itself is NOT. You can see the stains on the bottom mattress from YEARS and YEARS of wear. The doors are noisy, the carpet is stuck in the 70’s and they CHARGE FOR TV. We got stuck paying a «media fee» for just turning the TV on, plus we had to purchase the program we wanted to watch. It was dingy, run down and full of obvious cheap fixes where someone tried to fix it up.
