Paula was a terrific host. Her home was clean and new, well stocked and accurately described. Furniture was new and comfortable. The location worked great for us to split our time between hiking and wine tasting. Happy with our experience!

Biscuit's were extremely dry. But the rest of the food was great. Staff was amazing and extremely helpful when my elderly father fell. The room was clean and comfortable.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Woodburn
The exterior is in great shape. The interior is becoming very dated. Painting the corridors and replacing the doors to the guest rooms would be a great help in updating the facility.
