Cameo Motel - Portland

Very clean, if dated. Comfortable beds.

Very flat pillows, the card reader didn’t always work.

Clean

Nice place, feels somewhat like a resort in a forest, yet well connected: the bus stops across the street and goes to downtown and beyond. Bus 12, runs frequently. If you arrive by train, you should walk from the train station six blocks on the 6th avenue to Burnside street, to the pink of purple skyscraper, to catch the 12. Airport is not very far from the hotel either: landing planes and the airport tower are seen from the hill. Hotel has two buildings: one at the busy intersection and other, smaller, behind the first one, across the intersection of two quiet residential streets. At that quiet intersection is also Cameo Pancake & Steak. And across the big street is 7-Eleven and Pizza Hut. In the room the sink is outside of the bathroom, in the niche in front of it. This is very useful when more that one person stay.

There were a refrigerator and a microwave in the room (which was wonderful), but neither a kettle nor a coffeemaker, and none in the lobby either. (Actually, the lobby was closed, there was just an office with a window). Fortunately, there is 7-Eleven across the street. I bought a large cup of coffee, kept it in the refrigerator. poured in my own smaller glass, and heated in the microwave. But caution must be exercised.
