I spent a week at the Nordic and it was a wonderful experience. It was very clean, we always had plenty of towels. There was a full size stove and refridgerator which helped cut down on our food expenses. There is a train nearby, but I really did not hear it at all. Someone else left a comment about the... More

Full size fridge, and stove, but no dishes, pans, or silverware. So, if you're planning on staying her because of these item's... bring the essentials. Train's a few times throughout the night, and they run behind the hotel.

I came across this wonderful motel while on travel, The owners Jay, and Lena greeted me when I arrived with a genuine humble, and appreciative greeting. I stayed there for three weeks. The rooms are personal, clean, and quite cozy. There is daily cleaning of the rooms, and the staff is also very personal. I have stayed at some of... More

I cannot understand the "good" reviews this motel has received. I reserved a room here for two nights, but started questioning it when I saw the neighborhood. I drove by used tire shops, motorcycle repair shops, smoke shops, and light industry, and began to wonder. When I finally found the Nordic, in between two disreputable-looking no-tell motels, I knew I... More

Me any my wife chose this motel because it was cheap and had good reviews. We definitely agree that the room was clean compared to some other motels but we did have some complaints regarding our stay: 1. The walls between units seem to be thin as we heard the next door unit at night (TV and "other" noises). Also... More

Devoted owner/operators who continue to make improvements and upgrades on the units and want to do everything possible for you to have a pleasant stay. The achieve this goal with one exception; location on a busy street near the airport and trains. Would we stay again? Yes with ear plugs.

So I researched inexpensive places to stay in NE Portland, as my dad was in the hospital there, and I knew I may be there up to a week, so I couldn't afford anything fancy for that long. I came across website for Nordic Motel. Looking at the pics of it on website, I thought it looked ideal and I... More

i stayed here on a road trip, so i had my car. staying for two nights i'd generally prefer to be close to the downtown action, but the cost of hotels and parking downtown made the nordic my choice. in hindsight i am very glad to have chosen as i did. the hotel is about 10/15 minutes from the action...

I travel worldwide for work and play, typically staying in hotels or condos. However when traveling to Portland, it's usually playtime so I stay either at the Silver Cloud downtown or at the airport at the aloft. This time however I decided to scan all motels/hotels to see what else was out there starting with the lower priced ones. When... More

Stayed here during an overnight trip in Portland. Took a cab from the airport to this convienent location. Booked online for a bargain and definitely got more than my moneys worth! Front desk service was great and very friendly. Highly recommended.
