The Best Event Place in Town.
Sarah and Merrissa are absolutely wonderful to work with along with the servers. I had a couple of areas that I would do differently next year. First, the meat was too red for many of the people. I take responsibility for that because I meant to request ahead of time that it be done medium to medium well. Second it was suggested that we use half the room so that it would look fuller. That would have been fine except with that set-up the people on the right side couldn't see the screen. My biggest concern was that the wedding in the room next door had way too loud of a speaker system and it was overflowing into our room during our program. But, overall it was a wonderful event. The facility is beautiful, the staff is outstanding, and I believe it is the only place in town where you can have a group that size without having to make them go through a buffet line.

The staff was lovely, the venue beautiful, and the food good, but, man, it was freezing! And the wi-fi was terrible. Not a comfortable or productive business conference.

Parking garage is below ground, full size trucks suggest street parking. As far as rooms go, we did not stay at the hotel that is adjoining, we used the Willamette room upstairs. Absolutely wonderful!

Great place to stay, attend a conference or just pop in for dinner! Bring your appetite because if you leave here hungry, it's your own fault!
Have the prime rib if you come. Absolute perfection!!

Recently, I was an exhibitor at a conference at the Salem Convention Center. The location, service, and food was outstanding! I had some very bulky heavy things to load into the second floor, and the …
