Oregon Women's Club Antique Show stay.
Very nice hotel with two restaurants on site. Waitress and staff super friendly. Country setting five minutes to town. This was our second year staying and will do so in the future. Highly recommend.

Good value and great location
I was in town visiting family. This was a great place to stay and be close to their house. The view of the water was amazing as was the balcony room. The only downfall was for being a family type hotel, it would have been great if they had board games we could have used. They have a nice area that could be used for a Continental breakfast but only provided coffee and tea. Sometimes those little extras go a long way. Overall it was a nice experience and would stay there again.

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.

A bit dated. The coffee station is not replenished with a fresh pot until after staff comes in approximately at 9 am. You must ask for shampoo and cream rinse at check as it’s only provided upon request. Could upgrade the matresses sometime.
