The staff were very friendly and paid attention to our requests. Breakfast was as good as any of the chain hotels. It was a hot breakfast with waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, gravy, and biscuits. Also all the usual breakfast foods like toast, cold and hot cereal, and yogurt. The room was recently remodeled and had everything we needed. The shower was great...good water pressure and lots of hot water. The hotel is near the road, which you can see from a map so there's some traffic noise, but that's to be expected from the location. Cottage Grove is a nice little town and there are numerous restaurants a short drive away in the Historic Town Center.
