Nehalem Vacations from $363

No sign on the building should have prepped us… The front desk was unmanned. There was a sign stating to call a room # for assistance. We did so and after a few minutes a rep arrived, sat down and asked “reservation?” No greeting. I provided our name, she said “ID.” I gave her ID. Next was “CC or cash for deposit”. No explanation of amount, simply “CC or cash.” She printed a paper, wrote an X and pushed it at me. I asked “Do you need a signature?” A clipped “yes”. My career has been in customer service and I was astounded at this “first customer impression.” So much so that I asked her name: Hannah. Hannah is better suited for a non-customer facing job. On a bright note, the room was clean. The toilet did not function well and the shower was slow to drain, but that’s not a maid issue (other than reporting to maintenance). Complimentary in-room coffee was nasty, but the machine appeared to be clean (always do a self clean too; don’t ask why, take my word and just do it). There was only one small soap. If you decide to book, bring along a shower soap. The “complimentary lobby coffee” was a machine which appeared unused in months. Checkout was worse than Hannah. The man was extremely inconvenienced at our ringing him to the desk at 10:00AM. He irritated me so I requested a receipt to simply inconvenience him. Yeah, whatever. You (almost) get what you pay for; it was clean. Don’t know the name of the place as the sign was covered. There was an Under New Management sign.

Nice modern, clean hotel. Located in a great location within walking distance of downtown Independence.

It was a great location and the remodel is nice. Cafe very pleasant with a good menu. We did have some issues with slow wi-fi with the TV but otherwise everything was great.

The room was fine and the bed comfy, but the place could use some maintenance. There was a big gap under and around the edges of the door, and the electrical outlets should be replaced as our chargers kept falling out. The location was great for our stay, and with a little bit of love this could be a wonderful place to stay. Would book again if improvements are made
