We loved staying at The Independence. The sheets and towels were soft, great shower, very clean and nice breakfast. We were really looking forward to using the hot tub, but when we arrived, they informed us it was broken. We played at the park and strolled around town instead. There is a cute ice cream parlor about one block away and we stopped at the wishing fountain and tossed in some pennies. All around a great stay.

This is a very nice place to stay. Will stay there again. But we were there 5 nights and they said our room would be cleaned on the third day but it never was. And the hot tub and roof top fireplace was not working. It is a newer place and along the river and the breakfast and flavored water was great. The free use of bicycles was great too. The park next to it was convenient. Walking distance to stores and restaurants.

I love this gem of a Hotel just far enough out of Salem Oregon for a peaceful,Relaxing atmosphere..The Hotel is very clean and welcoming..Plenty of parking and the river is behind the hotel..A park is adjacent to the hotel perfect for early morning body weight training with pull-up bars..The town has plenty of dining options you can walk to just up the block..Very friendly atmosphere in town..Glad I found this little oasis

Loved the rooms and location! There were just a nunch of small things that they did really that upgraded our experience. Loved the outdoor dining for their breakfast and their evening restaurant. The river flowing just behind the hotel was gorgeous.

Next time we will request a better room...there are beautiful rooms,but we thought we were just getting a walk in shower,not an ADA room, which really did not suit our needs. Also looking forward to a beautiful evening on the rooftop bar,but no amenties there..had to carry your own food and beverage if you went up there.
