Only the view and the staff friendliness keep this from being one star (or less if possible). This place is totally rundown and needs a major overhaul. As the room we booked was taken we were "upgraded" to a river view suite. -moldy, musty smell -chipped paint -curtains not closing properly -wet bar but no glasses -broken bedside lamps -electric...

This was our first visit to the Valley River Inn. My son actually found it on tripadvisor. We walked in the door without reservation, were greated warmly, given a beautiful room over looking the river. We travel up and back on I-5 about every six weeks visiting our grandson in Washington state. We have never stopped in Eugene before this... More

The rooms were updated and clean, the staff was helpful and friendly, and we enjoyed a lovely breakfast in the restaurant at a window seat overlooking the river. It was nice to be able to go for a run along... More

The hotel hallways and rooms are very dated, the halls more so. That being said the room itself was very big, had a balcony, and the beds were nice, clean, and comfortable. I did notice I few hairs in the shower wall that were not ours... I guess because of the buildings age you can hear everything around you, It... More

My father and I visited Eugene to visit The University of Oregon, and was told that The Valley River Inn was the place to stay, and it most certainly was. The staff was unbelievably friendly, the food in the restaurant was excellent quality, and the service was fast and convenient. Rooms are clean, and our specific room had a balcony... More
