Unaccomodating
The property seemed very worn and the staff was not very friendly or accommodating. They do not like to help Expedia clients. Our flight was canceled and rebooked the next day with no problems. We called our car rental and the hotel to let them know of the delay but Marriott ended up canceling our entire reservation because we didn’t check in the first night. They said their system automatically does this and couldn’t help us. They never mentioned that this would occur. It took 45 minutes for Expedia to fix the situation. We didn’t get checked in until midnight. Marriott was more than happy to take our money for a new booking and not help with the one they took from us!

The best Corvallis has to offer!
This is the nicest hotel in Corvallis. It’s in a great location by the river and Second Street, a great spot for strolling, shops, cafes and a fine hometown bookstore to name a few. The hotel itself is quite a find! It’s new and is a green facility. The hotel is safe and secure with an extra layer of security needed to access the room floors. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable-especially the bed. The beds are made NORMALLY. They’re not folded, tucked, pulled, and forced into a tight “pretty” bed that is hard to get into, hard to pull the sheets down and difficult to cover oneself much above the shoulders. These normally made beds are comfortable, toasty and don’t require that you remake them to use them. MAJOR points for that! The room temps are constant and steady. We didn’t need to adjust the temperature settings one time during our stay. The abundance of USB outlets is an excellent feature. They’re easily accessed and charge at a reasonably crisp rate. The lighting in the rooms is perfect and like other reviewers, I recommend a room with a view of the river. The availability of breakfast and dinner is a big plus. Dinner looks great as does the bar. Some fellow guests I met on the elevator spoke glowingly about dinner and the bar. I didn’t make it to dinner, but the breakfast burrito I had the morning we left was quite good along with the freshly brewed Starbucks cuppa joe. The staff at breakfast was attentive, friendly and did a really good job. Frankly every staff member we encountered was a fine representative for this hotel. Be prepared to be a bit confused upon arrival as it is absolutely not clear how one gets to an entrance. There is no parking where someone might think the main entrance is. THE MAIN ENTRANCE IS NOT ON FIRST STREET. Regardless of what anyone tells you, that entrance-looking line of glass doors with the turnstile door and the sign above them that says “THIS IS A BIG ‘OL ENTRANCE” you’ll see driving by is not an entrance unless you are a pedestrian. Access is down the alley between First and Second Streets and through a smaller set of glass doors. Upon finding your way in, the check-in desk(s) is(are) around the corner and is(are) nothing like most hotel front desks. They look like individual kiosks instead. The front-end staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. Be advised, the hotel offers no valet parking and no bell service. This is difficult for those of us that are handicapped or otherwise physically compromised. Please be aware that YOU will be parking and horsing around your own luggage. The easy thing (sorta) is that we were able to park in handicapped parking that is situated directly in front of the elevators. They do provide luggage carts in the elevator lobby. Speaking of the parking garage, it has a particularly steep entrance ramp that at one point your only view is of the ceiling of the parking garage. Beware of that. Couple of things we had a bit of a concern over. The room had been sorta vacuumed in that there was a clean main area, but there was a line of crumbs and dust-bunny’s around the base of the bed and visible around baseboards and the kickplates around the desk. Not a big deal, but a bit surprising. The truly surprising thing that brought these folks to a 4 dot review instead of the 5 dots I really wanted to award them was the used soap awaiting me in the shower soap dish. That’s not a great look. This is by far the best choice for lodging in Corvallis. Now that we know the ins and outs, we’ll definitely stay here on our many trips to Corvallis. You should as well.

Nicely located
Wonderfully located with all the amenities. Walkable location, across from the river , near restaurants and stores and a seasonal farmers market, make it a good choice. Ask for a room with river view . Self Parking in the building and accessible to elevator.

Beautiful stay
Very clean and the staff are absolutely amazing including Katie and everyone else. We also really enjoyed the terraces. We were there for a conference and we weren't in the hotel as much as we would have liked The hotel is close to the river and downtown shops and parking was easy. Go to Squirrels Tavern, New Morning Bakery, and the Willamette river.

Great location downtown next to the Willamette River
Yes, wonderful location, great beds and pillows, views from any room, short walks to restaurants, bars, and shopping. Walk or ride the shuttle to football 🏈 games. Oh, don’t forget to make at least one visit to Squirrel’s 🐿️ Tavern, a Corvallis mainstay for 50 years!
