If you forget the do not disturb sign on your chosen day of maid service it’s very hard to get this corrected. Should be more for breakfast scrambled eggs or something and a microwave for heating things up. Salt and pepper and butter too.

Loved this hotel. Super clean, beds were very comfy. The roof top bar and live music was fun. Located right by the beautiful river and super close to downtown with delicious food and fun shops. We will be staying again.

This location looks nice, has a good vibe and modern look. it has a great morning breakfast. Just wish they didn't get rid of eggs and bacon. Roof top bar was closed and I would like domestic beer options in the restaurant bar area. Not everyone like IPA's . Walking distance to shops, restaurants and bar.

Nice Hotel. Super clean, comfortable beds and beautiful grounds by the river. The stuff that doesn’t matter too much: TV semi-functional. Food is meh. Ran out of breakfast early. But setting for eating by the river was lovely.

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.
