The property itself is very pretty. The person who checked us in was very friendly. The room itself was nice aesthetically, but it could use a bit more cleaning. There were cobwebs above the bed with a dead moth, cobwebs above the bathroom mirror, someone wiped a booger on the wall next to the toilet paper holder. The biggest issue we had, and it’s not fault of the staff, or facility, but it’s just an older hotel, it was very loud. The walls are paper thin. We heard our neighbors conversation. We also hear his alarm going on continuously at 3:30am. We heard very loud conversations in the hallway at 4am. This is not somewhere I’d choose to stay again unfortunately.

We recently stayed at this hotel in Eugene, OR and had an overall comfortable experience — the rooms were clean and the property itself is great. However, our experience with management left a lot to be desired. We originally booked and paid for one night through Expedia. When we decided to extend our stay by one night, we were told no additional nights were available. Oddly, we were still able to make a new reservation for two nights at the same hotel. That should have been our first clue that something wasn’t right. We then attempted to cancel and refund the original single-night reservation through Expedia, but the hotel denied the request. When we spoke with the front desk and management directly, they brushed it off — saying, “Just request a refund through Expedia and we’ll approve it.” The problem is, we had already done exactly that, and it had been denied by them. No one took ownership or made an effort to actually fix the issue. To make matters worse, during our stay we kept receiving automated alerts for the unused reservation. It felt like a small thing, but it really highlighted how disconnected the management team is from the guest experience. It’s unfortunate, because the hotel itself is lovely. But the lack of accountability and customer care will make us consider competitors the next time we’re in Eugene.
