Hotel Independence

This Hotel is amazing. From the front desk to the restaurant within the Hotel. I applaud the owner of this Hotel 10-fold. The area surrounding the Hotel is very quiet and nice. We ate at a restaurant around the corner which was very good as well. We went down to the river and put our feet in the water. I will be coming back soon. Our best stay of our vacation.

I was in town for a reunion. I have stayed there several times. I was raised in Monmouth but left after high school long ago. Something needs to be done (negotiated between both taxes and demolition) on that skeleton building - it's hideous and been there way too long. There are plenty of people there and additionally, those who come back like me occasionally, that would contribute to correcting, including me. But then, things need to be done all over the state. And that is why I initially moved out of Oregon and that is why I would never move back. That hotel should be full every night! The employees are over worked and no doubt, underpaid. Aside from the location of the hotel, the employees are the biggest asset.

Was so pleasantly surprised by the room and friendly staff. This is really the only hotel in this tiny town and it was a “staycation” to come see a concert in the park. It’s been a very long time that hotel staff both mentioned and recognized my VIP Expedia status. The young man who checked us in was clearly trained well and provided GREAT customer service. We were given a bottle of wine as VIP member and the room we were given was great! Liked our stay and will be back. Not sure why the hotel has such a low star rating. I will warn you, the hotel restaurant and bar will close early or unannounced if they don’t have any business, so plan ahead for that. They might not be open as expected.

Oh, and don't forget the cookies in the lobby, YUM! And the osprey's on the roof. Plus the live web cam.. so fun!
