Beautiful hotel. Everything was tastefully done, spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed having the restaurant on site with a choice for sitting outside with a view of the river or inside, also with a view. Their hot tub is by reservation only, so we were able to enjoy it by ourselves for a half hour. Have not had that option before and liked it a lot. The location worked well for our day trip to Monmouth the next day.

Comfy, peaceful stay away from I5 busyness

We loved getting away from the freeway to this peaceful location. The riverfront setting is beautiful. The small town was fun to wander. The room was small but very comfy. The high ceiling made it feel spacious. The private hot tub, available to reserve, was wonderful!

We love the design and vibe of this hotel. The rooms are great and everything is very clean. Location along the Willamette River is awesome! The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars overall is due to the change made to the breakfast which is included with your room. It used to be a full incredible breakfast...this stay it was next to nothing and I left hungry.

The hotel is beautiful inside and with the view outside. The room was spacious and lovely. We loved the eating area for breakfast. Had an awesome rooftop bar and hot tub although we didn’t get to use it. Highly recommend this hotel. We even rechecked a bottle of wine when we checked in.

Our family of 9 adults all stayed at the hotel for my grandaughter's wedding in Salem. Staff were extremely kind, helpful and friendly. The TV in our booked room didn't work, so the staff moved us to an upgraded room, king suite. We ended up having the reception at the hotel (not planned). The restaurant was fabulous for this. All our wedding activities ended up at the hotel because it was so nice. Wonderful!!! We will stay here every time we visit Salem.

The pictures promoted for the room showed the Willamette River. The room we were put in was the opposite side. That’s false advertisement. The AC in the room had to be manually changed in order for it to get colder. On a hot day, that seems a little ridiculous. Our overall stay was ok but if anyone is planning on going, make sure you ask what room you will be getting and another piece of advice, make sure you ask the staff to get your room temperature lowered before you get up there because it is locked to the general public.
