Very beautiful room. Very spacious and clean. Love the balcony. AC is perfect! Fridge, microwave, coffee were awesome to have. I love that the toilet and shower have their own room with a door and separate from the sink. Plenty if lighting. Needs are comfy with plenty of pillows. Long desk table. 2 chairs was nice. They have a restaurant downstairs. I liked that there's multiple entrances and exits key access available close to our room as well as parking spots. I also appreciate the 24 hr coffee and snack market with many food options. Frozen food, ice cream, chips, beer, etc. You name it. I just loved everything about this hotel. I will definitely be staying here again. My one only issue was the tv volume was too low at it's max. Otherwise everything was perfect

What a great experience! It started at check-in when Ty checked me in. He was veery professional and positive. I told him it was my first time in Oregon and he upgraded my room for free, overlooking the river! The property and rooma were super clean and an excellent condition. All staff that i interacted with during my stay provided great customer service. There was also a nice outdoor pool and plenty of parking.
