The Independence Hotel is a wonderful and beautiful hotel right on the Willamette River. It is very clean, updated, and well maintained inside and out, with spacious and spectacularly decorated rooms. Many rooms feature a balcony facing the serene river and park, perfect for a walk or a run. The service is exceptional and amazing, from an easy check-in to thoughtful staff. The location is in the heart of town within walking distance of great coffee, drinks, and food. A river walkway, beach, and a rooftop deck are great additions. The included continental breakfast is provided, though some guests expected more. It is a perfect place to visit the area or WOU.
We needed a place halfway home because my 87 year couldn't ride 6 straight hours in the car. She loved the bed in her room. So did we. The included breakfast was great.

Beautiful surroundings and great staff. It was very convenient that they had a lovely restaurant on site.
