Every time I visit Eugene, I end up at Valley River Inn great scenery by the river, restaurant serves good food and drinks, the layout of property is on point
Excellent two-night stay with onsite restaurant for breakfast and beautiful 7.2-mile paved, loop trail along the river. Our king room was extra large with a sleeper sofa and sliding glass doors to a patio.
We were able to check in early, room was huge, has a steamer and a balcony. Lots of seating areas at this hotel, the food was excellent at the restaurant and the cocktails were good too. Great location with being able to walk the river or shop the mall.
A good location to stay at buy a lot of restaurants and bars, for the Oregon duck game. We ended up catching a bus to the duck game, but you can walk along the river, but it’ll be about a 3 to 4 mile walk to the stadium dog friendly check-in was easy to stay again.
