A beautiful hotel, with an even more beautiful garden. We had a king suite, which had a view of the…read moregarden. The room was very well appointed, nice features like a wet bar area, seating, separate TVs if one desired. Super comfy bed, great environmental controls (heat and a/c) were very quiet also. The bathroom was exceptional, most wonderful shower in North America. The breakfast was also darn good, lots of choices and very friendly service. In fact all the employees were very cheerful and welcoming, darn pleasant. But above all, and far so, is the Japanese garden attached to the hotel. It is worth the trip all on it's own. Spectacular for it's size, only an acre- centered around a gorgeous water feature of a huge koi pond, with many lovely spaces to just chill and appreciate the beauty of the garden.

I was playing no games with the way the universe was talking to me yesterday. No thank you sir. We won't be driving anymore. Not going 50 on I5 for 7 hours. I pulled up hotels on Yelp, and this was the first choice. I thought OMG this has got to be expensive. Nope. Affordable. And VERY VERY nice. I'm INCREDIBLY picky and to say that this was super clean is a lot for me. It's so clean. Modern. Nice. The carpet was so clean that my socks didn't even get dirty walking around without shoes on. The service was great. When we checked in, the woman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The staff at the free breakfast were nicer too. I'm vegan and got an English muffin with peanut butter and jelly and coffee with Silk vanilla almond milk. Yay breakfast!! It was quiet, clean, a great price and just what we needed for an overnight stop before we figured out new tires and the long drive to N. California. Thank you Best Western for the overnight respite that was much needed.

The hotel my dad and I stayed at in Corvallis (the first time) was all booked up when we arrived…read more(late at night) after our arduous drive from San Francisco (!), so we ended up at this Holiday Inn Express in nearby Albany. It felt like the epitome of an average hotel at the Holiday Inn Express level. It wasn't super fancy or nice or new or fresh, and the person at the front desk wasn't that friendly, but it was fine. The room was clean; the beds were comfy; the front-desk person was efficient and thorough. The parking lot didn't feel sketchy, but since this particular visit, I have learned that almost all hotel parking lots are sketchy. As in don't leave anything in your car--not that I would ever do that. I live in San Francisco! We checked in late at night, slept, and checked out in the morning on our way to Corvallis; so we never really saw the place during the day.

The property is nestled in a beautiful area and feels like you are truly out in the wilderness area. The owners have some meticulously groomed and constructed trails near a creek complete with plenty of flora and fauna. We enjoyed watching the horses, Canadian geese with their goslings, and playing with dogs Delilah & Sasha. They have beautiful amenities in this modern lodge-style home complete with a nice wood-burning fireplace. Breakfast was tasty with eggs, breads & jam, and steel cut oatmeal with fruit and toppings. The owners have a wealth of knowledge for suggestions and ideas for things to do outside. CML is a must-visit!

Location: Five stars if you are a hiker, fisher or just want a quiet getaway from the city and its…read moreamenities. One star if you want those amenities. The nearest good restaurants, shopping and full-service stores are thirty miles away. Building: Five stars for a large, modern home with a lodge look, spacious and well-built with upscale fixtures. There are three upstairs rooms for rent. Grounds: Five stars for the generally attractive surroundings that reportedly include miles of hiking trails. Room and amenities: Four Stars for our room, which was spacious with lots of storage, a balcony and a bath. There were two bed lamps but both were inadequate for reading, while the flood lights in the ceiling were too bright for anyone lying in bed trying to read. The room included a small desk and a chair. Our room rating does not consider the other two rooms, one a bedroom, the other a bunk room for an unknown number of good friends or an entire family, both with a separate or shared bath. Bathroom and amenities: Four stars for the small bath with shower. Counter space was inadequate but that was fully compensated with plenty of drawers and cupboards. Due to the small size of the bath, there is only one towel rack and the TP is uncomfortably located to the rear of the small toilet. The lighting is better than that in most hotel bathrooms. Bed and pillows: Five Stars for the comfortable queen bed. One star for the mushy pillows that crank your chin up toward your chest without providing any support for your neck. HVAC: One star for an unconventional room air conditioner that not only blew cold air across the bed all night long but did so at constantly varying fan speeds that supposedly mimic natural breezes but actually mimic natural cold winds. Both the remote control and the instructions for the AC indicated that this supposedly desirable feature could be defeated in favor of steady low, medium and high fan speeds; however, our attempts to change the program (which included an attempt to reboot the remote) changed nothing. We made do the second night without the AC by opening the door to the balcony. Breakfast. Four stars for a healthy fix-it-yourself fruit and cereal breakfast with high-quality breads and jams. Dog: Five stars for Delilah, a very nice Lab. Service: Three stars. The hosts are friendly and helpful but this is an Airbnb home, not a full-service hotel. Noise Level: Four stars. The rooms are not well-isolated from the central living area or each other; however, the home is generally quiet and noisy activities cease around nine or ten at night. Price and Summary: Airbnb properties generally offer lower prices but they are able to do this in part because they generally are not subject to the building and safety codes and the insurance requirements of commercial hotels. Cascade Mountain Lodge offers especially favorable prices for such a nice property, if its Location (see above) is right for you. The hosts have an unconventional no-shoes-upstairs rule.

He also had detailed maps of the 26 mile rides for us and also described some specific areas of the trail. I have been on many shuttles. What I loved most about Chris is that at the end he wanted to make sure everyone was ok and no questions that anyone had were left unanswered. He did not rush off. Thank you!!
