University Place Hotel is located close to most places I need to go in Portland. The bed was super comfy and the room was spacious. The pool was also comfortably warm to swim in. Nice quick continental breakfast perk to grab quick coffee and bite.

Pleasant stay
Traditionally staying with a large family at the University Place on 4th of July for many years. Main reasons - location and pool. Had no problem in the past to have at least one room next to the pool. Specified this request on my booking few months prior to stay. In the end received rooms on the 3d floor which were traded on the 1st one but on the other side of the hotel. The hotel explanation provided was the conference run at the hotel at that time. But people staying at the rooms by the pool have not even heard about any conference. Otherwise, the stay was very pleasant.

Great place to stay
I really appreciate this hotel. It's got good pricing, pet friendly, clean and comfortable and as an extra bonus the police patrol the hotel (drive around the parking lot) on a regular basis.
