5/5 — Spotless hotel with amazing views! We had a fantastic experience staying here! The room was very clean and comfortable — everything felt fresh and well cared for. The views from our window were absolutely beautiful and added such a peaceful touch to our stay. The staff was courteous and check-in was smooth. Great location with a relaxing atmosphere.

The area the hotel was located turned out better than expected. You could see the Willamette river, nice park within walking distance. We never made it downtown, but drove through it and it had that small town feel. Would like to visit again.

This is my favorite hotel in this area. It's always super clean and the staff is friendly. You can tell they take pride on their hotel. They fix even the tiniest of scratches on the walls and make sure that the furniture is always in the best condition. The breakfast has real eggs and bacon, too. All around, it's worth the money and the view of the river is amazing.
