A good location to stay at buy a lot of restaurants and bars, for the Oregon duck game. We ended up catching a bus to the duck game, but you can walk along the river, but it’ll be about a 3 to 4 mile walk to the stadium dog friendly check-in was easy to stay again.

Valley river inn was the happening thing back in the nineteen seventies, and it still maintains that classy " best place in town" atmosphere. It is situated on the Willamette River and as close to shopping and other amenities. It's where I stay when I come down to recreate in my old hometown!
