Blue River Vacations from $245

The location of this hotel to the University, restaurants and shops was excellent. The property was relatively clean. While the bed was comfortable, the couch in our room had multiple large holes and the towels were nearly threadbare. The worst part though was the fan/heating unit that was mounted on the wall. It would go off approximately every 10 minutes, was loud, and blasted the bed with air making it nearly impossible to sleep.

Overall we had a nice, cozy stay at the Yurtel. We needed to book last-minute accomodations for a football game in Eugene and this was a safe, affordable place to stay not absurdly far away. Our yurt was warm and comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was excellent. Our only complaint is the road and neighborhood noise. It should go without saying that you're going to hear outside noise if you're staying in a yurt, but the noise from the nearby highway was quite loud. We also could hear party noise from the neighborhood behind the Yurtel, and apparently folks in Veneta like to set off fireworks for Halloween, so we heard that, too. Thankfully, most of the noise subsided before it was too late and our sleep wasn't disturbed, but it might be nice for the management to include ear plugs in their list of amenities (and maybe eye masks, since early morning light does come in from the skylight at the top of the yurt.) Still, if you're looking for a quirky, affordable place to stay in the area, this would be a good choice.
