pet fee

Northwest Experience
Beautiful renovations to entire hotel. Quiet and peaceful along the Willamette River on a bike/walking trail. Hotel dining and bar were outstanding.
Across from mall and restaurants.

My room was wonderful. It was clean, the bed was comfortable, the ac/heat worked great. It was spacious and had a big tv. The shower was modern. I like the configuration of the room. They also provided a steamer for your clothes and it worked well. I did not get to try the restaurant but it seemed inviting.

Parking fee
We have been staying at this hotel for years. However this time there was a 15 dollar per day per vehicle fee. This hotel is already on the expensive side with no free breakfast now a parking fee. We will not be staying here again. We will find a hotel with amenities and no parking fee.
