The ring
| Town | Drive time | Typical availability | Rate vs. epicenter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Albany, OR | 15 min | A live per-night Google Hotels count wasn't obtained this session (the search tool's results page failed to load repeatedly). Albany is a real, separate city about 15 minutes east with its own chain-hotel base. | Broad chain-hotel tier; not independently rate-compared this session. |
| Salem, OR | 40 min | A live per-night Google Hotels count wasn't obtained this session. Salem is Oregon's state capital, about 40 minutes north, with a genuinely deep hotel market of its own. | Broad chain-hotel tier; not independently rate-compared this session. |
A live Google Hotels availability check — the method used for most other clusters in this project — could not be completed this session; the search results page repeatedly failed to load through our research tools. Ring-town availability here is described structurally rather than as a live count.
