I had a decent stay at the Fireside Inn & Suites. The clean and spacious room with comfortable beds made for a restful night, but the dated decor was noticeable and the temperature control setup was tricky. The free breakfast provided a good variety, although I felt there could be more options. Overall, it's a reasonable choice for the price, especially with the convenient location near downtown Portland and the airport. 🏨🍽️
