Very nice hotel, comfortable bed, clean rooms. Good restaurant and bar. Strange sound like a fan somewhere in the building could be heard all night. Not so loud that you couldn’t sleep, just a little irritation in an otherwise excellent stay.

While heading south, we chose this property for loccation near Salem and onsite EV charger. Not disappointed at all -- very comfortable room, easy check in, easy walk to a choice of restaurants on charming main street of Independence. Breakfast was quite satisfactory as well!

Samantha

Hotel, is clean, rooms are clean, spacious with comfortable decor, the staff are friendly and accommodating. Amenities include a fitness center, hot tub that must be reserved, there’s also a restaurant with view of the Willamette river. I truly appreciate the convenience of the property having guest laundry that, which is a nice privilege. I hope it continues, however, some guests abuse the situation, by not “at the very least” removing the dryer filter lint, even better completely cleaning the lint filter and removing any leftover debris in the dryer drum. Another issue is the guests overfilling washers/dryers.

We were there celebrating my daughter’s 21st birthday, as it was a convenient distance from her college campus, and the staff went out of their way to make sure that her day was memorable. The restaurant was great, and the breakfast was good, which is not always the case with free hotel breakfasts. Would definitely stay here again.
