Good location, breakfast is not great

Hotel is nice, clean and great location. This is the 3rd time we’ve been there and there is no breakfast. When breakfast doesn’t close til 10 and we come at 830 and the place is wiped out it’s insane. We waited for 15 mins and all that was brought out was pastries that you buy at a mini mart. Not impressed. Coffee was out, gravy, yogurt, syrup, fruit, bagels. All out….just don’t have expectations for breakfast.

This hotel was perfect, from the spacious and beautifully appointed room, to the rooftop patio, to the friendly and knowledgeable bartender, to the housekeeping staff who warmly greeted us in the halls, to the walkability of the town and grounds. We were very impressed with the soundproofing - there was a fun and boisterous music concert happening in the park right next door and we couldn't hear it at all in our river-facing room.

Hotel Independence

This Hotel is amazing. From the front desk to the restaurant within the Hotel. I applaud the owner of this Hotel 10-fold. The area surrounding the Hotel is very quiet and nice. We ate at a restaurant around the corner which was very good as well. We went down to the river and put our feet in the water. I will be coming back soon. Our best stay of our vacation.

I was in town for a reunion. I have stayed there several times. I was raised in Monmouth but left after high school long ago. Something needs to be done (negotiated between both taxes and demolition) on that skeleton building - it's hideous and been there way too long. There are plenty of people there and additionally, those who come back like me occasionally, that would contribute to correcting, including me. But then, things need to be done all over the state. And that is why I initially moved out of Oregon and that is why I would never move back. That hotel should be full every night! The employees are over worked and no doubt, underpaid. Aside from the location of the hotel, the employees are the biggest asset.
