Salbasgeon Suites and Conference Center is a family-owned hotel and conference service center located in the heart of Corvallis. As a conference center, it offers comprehensive meeting or conference packages that include sleeping rooms, meeting space, catering, audio-visual equipment and great food services. Meeting planners don’t need to bother dealing with different properties when holding their meetings with one set facilities here.
Salbasgeon was established in 1998. The name Salbasgeon comes from the three major fish – salmon, bass, and sturgeon - of the Umpqua River where the first Salbasgeon Inn was built. Besides being a big fan of fishing and water activities, the owner of the Salbasgeon is also a skillful carpenter. He made all the woodwork in the Salbasgeon Suites, including the gorgeous fireplace, lobby pillars and window frames. This creates a home-like atmosphere customers really enjoy.
Besides strong conference coordination abilities, Salbasgeon is also quite experienced at meeting customers’ specific needs. “We have plentiful meetings of performing celebrities, sports teams and associations every year. They sometimes require unique food, separated personal space and different sleeping schedules. We always manage to design a special meeting and living package for them,” says Chris Nusbaum, the Sales Director.
Three types of meeting rooms are offered for different meeting needs in Salbasgeon. Umpqua Board Room offers a quiet space for meetings and work groups. The pretty wood conference table allows 12 people sit in the comfortable rolling arm chairs. The Columbia Conference Center is able to accommodate 50 people. Its tasteful colors and traditional wood accents provide the perfect setting for formal dinners or receptions. The McKenzie Center is the largest meeting room in Salbasgeon. It provides a modern and sophisticated space that offers indirect lighting, crown moldings, marble fixtures and rich colors and artwork. It is large enough to hold 200 people for a training session, lecture, presentation or family union. These meeting rooms all offer screens, phone lines, data port, and audio-visual devices for meeting convenience. Salbasgeon also provides assistance to help meeting planners design and set up the rooms in accordance with different meeting needs.
Meeting customers in Salbasgeon enjoy the best amenities during their staying. Salbasgeon has the largest sleeping rooms, fitness room and indoor swimming pool in the Corvallis area. In sleeping rooms, the bed area is always separated from the living area, and there is also in-room jetted spa tubs offering comfort and fun. “We are always thinking how to make Salbasgeon a better place to stay. Making customers feel at home is the final goal we are pursuing,” Chris concluded.
