Hotel, is clean, rooms are clean, spacious with comfortable decor, the staff are friendly and accommodating. Amenities include a fitness center, hot tub that must be reserved, there’s also a restaurant with view of the Willamette river. I truly appreciate the convenience of the property having guest laundry that, which is a nice privilege. I hope it continues, however, some guests abuse the situation, by not “at the very least” removing the dryer filter lint, even better completely cleaning the lint filter and removing any leftover debris in the dryer drum. Another issue is the guests overfilling washers/dryers.

Room Downgrade

Hotel is clean and nice. However, we booked a king room with a river view and were not given that (see photos) or told. After we got to the room and realized, we asked and they told us all the king rooms were booked, offering no solution.

Very nice decor. Good location. Nice rooms. Great Hot Tub. The room I had was good, but for not having hardly any occupants they gave me a room with a view of the backside of downtown businesses… vs. any view of the river. Oh well I wasn’t interested in the view this time. But the restaurant “Territory” is what needs most attention. First to their menu. What they had was good… if you like chicken and pasta and hamburgers. NO fish dishes. I have eaten there in past years and was quite impressed with the selections. What they have now isn’t going to compete much with the restaurants within walking distance. The second thing was the free breakfast. Pretty blah… and par… not very hot. Motel 6 level I’d say. The OJ seemed a little watered. So would I stay again… yes… but unless the menu changes I’d expand into the town for meals.

Amazing place!

Amazing stay for the price! The property is both incredibly beautiful and clean. We loved the modern decor and the nearby trails were so beautiful. It felt like a little paradise in the middle of a small town. Only had minor issues with the laundry machine, which was broken. However, the hotel easily refunded us for the trouble, and called maintenance to fix it. Regardless, we will definitely be back!

Wanted a nice quiet stay away from home and The Independence always delivers. Quiet, close to food and 25 minutes to the local casino.
