My wife had no idea what was going on until she walked out onto the balcony and saw the the very nice layout of food & flowers. Heather was very helpful and instrumental in helping me pull this off. She made sure the setting was just right and even added some very nice flowers that made it very special. I was able to play the music from our wedding reception over the house sound system which was very nice. I guarantee it was a dinner that will not soon be forgotten!

I've had a better stay here in the past. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed this time around…read more It's silly, but I love being acknowledged for my status, especially since I'm very dedicated and that didn't happen this time. But I think the most disappointing part was having to share my room with a ton of bugs. See a picture of a few different ones on my review. Also, the coffee bar was not well staffed and there was a giant group of college students ordering food and there were two of us not with the group who wanted something and it would've been nice if they prioritized our order instead of having us wait until after the entire group was served. We would've had to wait 20 to 30 minutes for food. I went upstairs to make some oatmeal I had in the room and it turns out that the microwave of my room is broken so I couldn't even do that. Everything else was smooth, so it was an average day I would say

The view of the river is gorgeous, we were lucky enough to have a room facing it. Only complaint is I don't like carpeted rooms and the windows barely open, I love to air out the rooms when I stay and it only opened a few inches, makes me feel claustrophobic not to have fresh air coming in. Bed was comfortable, linens clean, I'd stay again when I'm in the area.

Adequate bathrooms on either end of the building. The conference also made use of the adjoining Alumni Center. All rooms had good a/v capabilities. Great snacks before and between sessions: muffins, fruit, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cheese, pita, hummus. Lunch was mediocre but adequate considering above average snacks previously mentioned. It helped that a Rotary club's members volunteered to help direct people but there was some university staff. Conference attendees can get a WiFi code for day access.

While I'd seen the venue a few times in February and July, I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful the venue was on our actual wedding day. It was PERFECT! Thank you so much, Helen and Wayne!

Okay Venue In Need of Updating. I'm mainly here to review the county fair, but I have been to…read moreseveral events here, and the only thing the fairgrounds need is updates to the buildings, they are very very old and in some cases, in need of repair. About the County Fair: Not everyone is going to like a particular county fair, and some are more eventful than others, I would rate this above average for a count fair, and I've been to around 10 different ones in Oregon, even to the tiny Morrow County Fair, which I loved btw. First, Any mention of tigers, registrants, etc, are nothing to do with the county fair itself. A caged tiger is NOT animal abuse anymore than a caged butterfly, that's absurd. You do realize most tigers in existence are only captive bred, and it is because of this, we can still see this marvelous species, particular White Tigers which no longer even exist in the wild. These tigers used in a zoo or show or exibhit are not wild, they are captive bred, and have been, in most cases for well over a hundred years. Unfortunately this is not what some ill-informed ppl would have you believe. If they were being wild caught for anything other than rehabilitation, maybe, but they're not wild. It is not anymore child abuse than keeping a cat, dog, reptile, or hampster. Some animal rights activist are against that as well btw they just don't b usually say it, and rating a fair 1 star when the tiger want at the actual fair, r is duplicitous and deceptive when the fair is based around livestock and other animal exhibits which havn't been wild either, it's ridiculous, you don't have to like it, but it is not prison, slavery, genocide, or abuse. Two, I've been to this fair 5 times and it is one of the better county fairs in Oregon, it is a relatively fun fair, and I didn't have to pay for concerts, at least not the ones before vthe "main attraction", no idea what ppl are talking about. Stop making everying about politics, and being silly. it's a fair, it is not more expensive than other county fairs, minus really tiny ones, like Morrow County, I would know, I've been there. Third, the food is fairly priced, and I have enjoyed it, there are good selections for a smaller fair, and for fair food, things are not exorbitant in cost. 4, I don't know what people expect, maybe they haven't been to many small county fairs? I have been to many in Oregon, and the Marion County fair from where I'm from, is not much better, and Marion is a MUCH larger county. Douglas county on the other hand is smaller and has a fabulous county fair; probably the best county fair in Oregon. Benton County is a decent fair and I enjoy it every time I go. ~Amy
