This is our third or fourth stay here. We stayed the night in a king size, river view, pet friendly room. I'm always a bit nervous about the "pet friendly" rooms because of the odor other animals can leave behind. This room was exceptional. You'd never be able to tell anyone ever had a pet in the room. The room... More

Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Their restaurant food was delicious. Grounds were well kept. Our room large and everything (lights, TV, etc.) worked well. Don't know what kind of bed was there, but it was really comfortable. The little balcony off our room was great to open up to the outside air. Stayed for 5 nights.

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 and decor were recently updated and the hotel continues its tradition of offering a great place to stay when visiting Eugene. My only suggestion would... More

Overall, it was a nice place to stay and the conference area was serviced well. The person working the sound system was helpful. Did not go the restaurant this time as there were too many people and too crowded. Having our pets with us was a plus.

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
