We planned this trip to Eugene months ago, but the day we arrived, a serious fire had occurred shutting the hotel down, so we had to leave and find our own accommodations.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property seems to be rather poorly maintained. My opinion was supported when a fire broke out in the hotel about a half hour after we left for the airport. As it happened, the flight crew of our plane was staying there and had to evacuate, thereby preventing our plane from leaving on time. Really messed up our trip.
