One of the best places I’ve ever stayed! Was in the area for a seminar and the hotel was the the best place to rest and de-stress. The area was beautiful and the people so friendly. And most of all, my dog was welcome without question!

Nice stay on the river.
Everything was great! Hotel was very nice, we rented the bikes and went on a short ride around town. Only gripe was that the bed was way too soft for my wife and I, but that was the only thing.

The stay was amazing. Excellent views and great service. We want to go back and stay longer.
Loved this hotel. Super clean, beds were very comfy. The roof top bar and live music was fun. Located right by the beautiful river and super close to downtown with delicious food and fun shops. We will be staying again.

Very dog friendly
Beautiful location. Jr suite on the corner was Huge!! Bed was extremely comfortable. If wasn’t almost 100 degrees all week, we would have gone bike riding or walking in the park. My only downside was the breakfast. If it would have had eggs, hash towns, and bacon it would have been perfect. Our dogs loved it and I know we will be back.

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!

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.
