Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Check in was really easy and convenient. You can tell the property is a little older, but our room was massive. We had a gorgeous view of the river right outside our room. I wish we could've gone on a trip on the local paddle boat, but they have scheduled trip days and hours that didn't correspond with our trip. The sauna was nice and got plenty hot, makes for a specialty that you don't usually find in hotels. 10/10 would stay again. Lovely town too, and great antique stores for any downtime.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a lovely stay, so tranquil. Couldn’t ask for nicer outdoor surroundings. So nice to have the coffee in the main room any time of day, it was a nice little treat at 6pm to go get a little pick me up of coffee and say hi to the other guests. Didn’t make it to the sauna, maybe next time. The whirlpool bath has a tv in the bathroom which is cool. Only complaint would be the smell of cigarette smoke as the smoke does come in from the windows from the smokers on their porches. Otherwise a most pleasant stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We had a king bed and it was very soft. Pillows were not flat. Toilet is an elongated bowl. Shower is inside of a jacuzzi style tub so lots of room. No breakfast but there is a coffee vendor trailer across the street in the parking lot of a bar that had a decent selection. There are vending machines in the lobby. Close to town but you’re outside of it a bit. We were there at the end of October so we got a view of the river and only a few other people in the building, so it was gloriously quiet.

Overall it's not a bad place. We got in early and the staff let us check in. We needed to get ready for a wedding so that was really helpful. The air unit was a little noisy, but everything else was fine.

Found myself in Oregon for work and needed a last minute stay. The staff was welcoming and the establishment was quaint - I stayed in the single double sweet. The street was quiet in the evening. Highly recommended for a stay.
