I stayed at the valley river inn with my wife and two daughters over Christmas and the hotel was simply magical! My girls loved the fireplace and the other seasonal decorations in the lobby, our room was spacious and well-appointed, and the views of the Willamette River were stunning. One morning, my six year old woke up early and the... More

Checked in after dark but was aware of a dicey neighborhood, close to a strip shopping center. Front desk staff not very friendly. This motel is huge but fairly quiet. I had gps or never would have found it. Room comfortable, but not worth the price. More

we had a great time at the hotel and don't think its a bad place, just not exceptional in any way. We had a small suite with a balcony overlooking the river and greenspace so the view was great. The bed was comfortable and things were clean but a bit dated. we knew that they were going through a total... More

We went back to this hotel after having a good stay there the first time. This time we upgraded the room, so the room(s) were very large. It had a hall, a tv room with a couch, chairs and a table, a balcony, a bathroom and a bedroom. A lot of space. Unfortunately the bathroom was very dirty. It looked... More

We appreciate your time in providing insight to your recent stay with us. As you stated, our rooms are extremely large by hotel standards.

I have met with the Director of Housekeeping to ensure that... More

I would never stay here again, even if it was free. Hotel decor/rooms are very old, and just plain dirty. Bathroom sink very difficult to turn on and off, bed/linens old and dirty. You should have seen the bed pillows, I think the are the originals from the 70s!! This place may at one time have been upscale/nice but is... More

What a disappointment. Many years ago this was the hotel to stay in when visiting Eugene. My family just finished a trip to Eugene visiting family and we had two connecting rooms. The hotel just felt old. The rooms need a major refurbishment with a special emphasis on the carpets. The carpets and furnishings were well past their prime, the... More

The entire property is top quality as we enjoy the wonderful views of the river while eating in the restaurant and the food is outstanding.

We stayed overnight at the valley river inn. The room quality is poor for the price you pay. This is one of the highest priced hotels yet the rooms reflect the quality of a 2 or 3 star. If you want to be right at the shopping mall then it is the place for you as right across the parking... More
