Quick Work Trip Gem

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.

Basic but very clean and well-maintained

Rustic, pretty basic, but very clean and well-maintained, quiet, staffed only 9-9 so make sure you have anything you need before they leave, decent WiFi, decent coffee always available in breakfast room (no in-room coffee pot), bathroom and shower in good shape and very clean, no maid or cleaning during your stay, so it’s basic but super clean, no bugs, smells or gross carpet

Hunter; multiple stays; always good.

I am a hunter. I have stayed here multiple times. Every time, I am pleasantly satisfied. It is clean, the beds, sheets and pillows are good, and the shower is strong and hot. What more can i want?
