I just spent the night at The Nordic and found it to be recently updated and remodeled. I knew it was a small older motel so I was pleasantly surprised with how it looked when I drove up.
It's not fancy, no pool or sauna but the room was VERY clean and the bed amazingly comfortable. It is near the airport so I was concerned about noise but I slept like a baby and never noticed sounds at all. They had a little fridge and microwave in the room and I put them to use. The shower was great, lots of water flow. I'll sure plan to stay there again when I'm in Portland, it's in a handy location. They even had a friendly staff, eager to please!

Wow! Who would have guessed a small independent motel could offer so much. We just checked out and felt like we got the best deal in town. I wish more business would care for their guests the way this motel does. How refreshing to feel important and cared for. Great Coffee!!!

My wife and I enjoyed our extended stay at Nordic Motel. The prices are more than reasonable for their weekly rates since we needed accommodations for 2 weeks. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The comfort of our room allowed us to feel like we were at home. Gourmet coffee was offered every morning. We also enjoyed the free high speed WiFi internet and the digital cable, which to our surprise included Showtime, HBO and ESPN. We would highly recommend our friends to the Nordic Motel for their motel/extended stay needs while in Portland, Oregon. If you have a 3 Star motel budget and want a 5 Star accommodation, the Nordic Motel is the place to be!

What a pleasant surprise when I arrived. This place was kept very well. If you are looking for a place where you wont spend a lot of money but get great service and a beautiful room you have found it. They know how to pay attention to detail. The staff was friendly and they were willing to be flexible and accomdate all my needs.

I know next time I stay at a motel at Portland I know exactly where to go.
