My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While I enjoyed a hot shower and a clean, spacious room, the sofa bed with an uncomfortable mattress and ant infestation were major drawbacks. The room also had a lingering smell of stale cigarettes.

The rooms were clean and spacious but had a sofa bed with an uncomfortable mattress and were infested with ants. The smell of old stale cigarettes was also noticeable.

I had mixed experiences with the service. While one person at the front desk was sweet and efficient, another seemed unhelpful and rude.

Location

The hotel's location is convenient for entertainment and dining, with many options within walking distance. However, it's not ideal for exploring Eugene as it's across the river from the main part of town.

The dining experience was a bit hit or miss. While some items were amazing, others were inedible except for a few selections like bacon.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated, spacious, and spotlessly clean, providing a lovely view of the river. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly kind and attentive, even going out of their way to accommodate special requests. The location was fantastic, offering easy access to the scenic riverfront and a nearby shopping mall. However, the dining options were a bit pricey, especially for breakfast.

The hotel is located in a quiet area next to the North Bank walk/bike trail, which was great for a morning walk along the Willamette River. The rooms were roomy and comfortable, but not very soundproof, and there was a delay in room readiness. The service, though not friendly, accommodated our request to be near family. The dining options were varied but expensive compared to other places. Overall, a convenient location with some room for improvement in service and pricing.
