Oregon Garden Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time and all the staff were pleasant and attentive."

Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"The breakfast being at the nearby Denny's was different. The voucher given was for either an egg breakfast or $10 off. I wish they had at least a pancake option since that's what many people get and Denny's features. Overall a great value and pleasant experience. Many nice amenities, including welcome cookies and bottles of water in the fridge upon arrival."
