Travel & Lodging

Below is some information regarding travel and lodging. We currently have a room rate set up at the Grand Hotel in Salem and the Independence Hotel in Independence (Both about equidistant from the venue). Independence Hotel will be the primary stomping grounds for Brett, Elle, and wedding festivities, but Salem and the Independence area have a number of Air Bnb options to explore as well. We definitely recommend checking Air Bnb options out too! We will have a shuttle set up to pick up and drop off guests for each of the hotels below. If you are looking at an Airbnb, we recommend trying to find one within a walk or short Uber from the hotels so you can still utilize the free shuttle.

We're currently planning on coordinating some activities and other weekend events either at the hotel or in this area. There are thirty rooms available here and they're beautiful! Guests can enjoy a tasty complimentary breakfast each day, access to our rooftop deck, free WiFi, and free parking. You can call in and mention you're with the Huggins wedding or you can checkout online with the promo code HUGGINS to ensure your discounted room rate!

Flight

Portland International Airport (PDX)

PDX is about an hour away from Salem, where the venue is, but it is your best bet for good flights. It's a super easy airport to navigate!

Flight

Eugene Airport

The Eugene Airport is another option to check for flights. It is also about an hour away from Salem. It's not our preferred airport, but sometimes you can get lucky and find good flights through there instead of Portland.

Travel Note

Groome Transportation

This is a shuttle company that runs a shuttle from PDX to the Salem Airport. You will need to find a way to get from the Salem Airport to your lodging, but this shuttle at least gets you into the city. The shuttle runs $33 each way and is an affordable option for anyone not wanting to rent a vehicle. You can make shuttle reservations on their website for any day of the week! They currently follow social distancing and mask protocols.

Travel Note

Google Maps & Public Transportation

Public Transportation on Google Maps is extremely thorough and helpful. You will be presented with a variety of public transportation options that may help your travels if you're not planning on renting a vehicle or not wanting to drive.
