The river view was fantastic. The food at Sweet Water was very good. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, although it was not very sound-proofed. I could easily hear the conversation and snoring coming from next door.

We were on a bit of a family road trip and my niece who lives in Eugene recommended it. It is close to the river on one side but on the side of the highway and the mall on the other. However, we really heard no extraneous noise. The room was large and redone in a woodsy, lodgy (sp?) kind of way. The coffee/tea selection in the room was fun and quite good. We had dinner at the restaurant and the food was fabulous. Following dinner we did an enjoyable walk along the river.
