Rooms were clean although maybe in need of a touch of updating. No noise from neighbors. Didn't access the back patio bc of uncooperative weather, but seems like would be a nice place to hang out in warmer/drier seasons. The lodge serves lunch and dinner and we noticed live music on Thursday nite -- and a happy hour that starts at 9pm. Free breakfast buffet (with a gorgeous view and friendly waitstaff) and access to the Oregon Garden were great bonuses! Really not too far away from downtown Silverton and a nice spot for peace and quiet and quality time with your hunny bunny.

While staff were friendly, the two places to eat here share the same kitchen staffed by people who can't cook. I ordered salmon. It actually looked good, but had been so severely over-salted that it was inedible. You couldn't even taste fish or balsamic glaze. My son ordered marionberry pie, but that just tasted like sugar. No berry flavor. No tartness. Just. Sugar. I figured I'd eat at the buffet in the morning. WRONG. The eggs were some kind of instant egg scramble--rubbery and dry. The sausage? Subpar. They had Greek yogurt, but it was very grainy looking. The ONLY redeeming feature was the drinkable coffee. It wasn't anything special, just a go-hum medium roast tasting of generic coffee. But it was nice to enjoy a couple hot cups on the patio.

We have been traveling through the area for the last week and this was, by far, our most…read moredisappointing experience. On our way here we visited multiple gardens and flower farms in Salem and the surrounding area that were completely free and FAR superior. They charge $14 per person to visit the garden and in my opinion it's not worth it. The employees we interacted with were unhelpful, unknowledgeable and apathetic but beyond the poor service, the grounds themselves were disappointing. There are dead and dying plants everywhere, shade and seating are scarce and there is very little of interest to see. If you enjoy paths and trees, visit any local park and the sites will be as good. If you love roses, visit Owen Rose Garden or if you like peonys, irises, etc there are multiple farms in the area to visit for free. Unless you love the smell of hot fertilizer and throwing your money away, this is not it. Their "Amazing" water garden consists of a few algae topped ponds. They also claim to be dog friendly but they are as dog friendly as a sidewalk. They have a tram tour that literally stopped in the walkway blocking all the walking guests from proceeding while robotically reading a speech and leaving everyone to stand there in the sun until they were done. This whole experience was just so unenjoyable. I rarely leave bad reviews and I Yelp to help others avoid my mistakes so if you are reading this, please don't waste your time or money here. There are so many other great options. Oh, and to the "Business Manager" who obligatorily responds all the unflattering reviews in an effort to appear as though customer service is important, but is ultimately condescending, it's not helping your cause, so feel free to spare us all.

Even though the plants' condition in March leaves a lot to be desired, as not very much is coming into season yet, there was plenty to take in. The variety of landscaping/hardscaping is impressive, the views incredible, the plant collection inspiring (even my very non-aggie partner took notes on what we could possibly incorporate into our own yard). It's obvious that plenty of care and planning went into the garden spaces. Highlights for me included the conifer forest and the wetlands areas. The Lewis and Clark pathway with its stonehenge-like pillars was neat too. Each section has its own hidden treasures and spaces for reflection. Would love to come back in spring or summer to see what's changed.

Downsides: - Hotel temp was HOT. ALL THE TIME. The elevators were too. - Pillows lumpy, need to be replaced - Showers have rain shower heads...really just the worst when you're not a man. - Don't go here for the views. My window looked out at the top of a building lol - TV's are still on DirectTV. Yall really gotta switch to streaming services (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc) Upsides: -I appreciate that the hotel cares about conservation and limiting their carbon footprint -The complimentary aluminum bottled waters were nice - They have a sound machine which is pretty neat -- haven't seen that in other hotels - Staff was nice

I'm VERY impressed with The Grand Hotel. It is big, warm, welcoming, and far more posh than I'd…read morehave expected for its "hotel star" rating. My room was far larger than expected, and was very well-equipped. In addition to all the standards (in-room refrigerator, microwave, etc.) was a white noise (and others) machine to assist with sleep (one minor gripe is that the sound isolation between rooms isn't terribly great), and a wall-mounted thermostat for the air conditioner and heat. One very thoughtful touch was two bottles of water, free of charge, already in my room upon arrival. Staff was incredibly helpful, professional, and friendly. My room was immaculate, and there were no signs of wear on anything nor neglected repairs. Complimentary breakfast was better than most. The mains also vary from day to day. There is a separate waffle station from the main hot dishes, and it features pastries that were far better than most, which was a really pleasant surprise. The covered parking garage is TIGHT, and is shared with the in-hotel restaurant (Bentley's), and the Salem Convention Center, so it can get crowded. There are two "Blink" EV charging stations, which is appreciated.

We are so grateful to Simply Plated Catering for being such a meaningful part of our wedding day…read more Our wedding was one of the most important and emotional days of our lives, and having a team that truly cared made all the difference. A huge shoutout to Breanna Kennedy. From the very beginning, she was warm, kind, and genuinely excited for us. She never made us feel like just another event, but instead made us feel seen, supported, and truly cared for throughout the entire planning process. Her patience and reassurance helped ease so much of the stress and allowed us to focus on enjoying the moment. The food was absolutely incredible. The Marry Me Chicken, roasted potatoes, and asparagus were outstanding, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they loved everything. It meant so much to know everyone was well taken care of and happy. And the lemonade deserves a special mention -- it was a guest favorite all night and truly unforgettable. More than anything, we are so thankful for the care and professionalism behind the scenes that allowed our day to run so smoothly. It gave us the freedom to be fully present and soak in every moment. Breanna, thank you for your kindness, excitement, and support. We will always associate you with one of the happiest days of our lives. To the entire Simply Plated Catering team -- thank you for the amazing food, wonderful service, and for being part of such a special celebration. Hands down we recommend Simply Plated Catering highly for any event, they truly are amazing and very professional. They show how much they care, while having such an immense positive attitude.

The location was beautiful and all of our guests (who flew in from all over the country) fell in love with Oregon from the beautiful surroundings they experienced at Beckenridge. If you're looking for a wedding venue that has both indoor and outdoor options for your ceremony and the reception all on site, this is the place! You will not be disappointed.
