We LOVE the Campbell House!We have stayed there in different rooms for the handful of times we've been in Eugene. Haven't had complaints. It's a quick stroll down Pearl Street and you're in the heart of downtown Eugene. Your stay comes with breakfast, served in their lovely dining area, overlooking their garden. Always fresh and delicious. Mary was a wonderful server! So sweet and friendly! If you're lucky you'll spot a hummingbird while strolling around the well-groomed grounds and you can relax in one of many Adirondack chairs they have on their lawn.
Belle was at the front desk and was absolutely accommodating and kind. She even checked on us the next day to see how we liked our room! Definitely service with a smile.
Ok, with that said...
We stayed in the Carriage House, which contains 3 rooms/suites. We stayed in the Stephen suite. Lovely room with a balcony (with only one chair and ottoman), jacuzzi tub, fireplace, and separate den/kitchen area. Very high four post, Queen bed.
I have a few suggestions.
First, I understand that there needs to be a step stool by the bed (it's THAT high lol), but since there is a step stool there, there is NOT a nightstand or a light for the person on the left side of the bed. There's room for it, especially if you move that tall, white cabinet into the corner - the step stool can go next to the fireplace. No worries - I took the sitting stool from the OTHER room and THAT became my night stand. Quick remedy - get a lower Queen size bed, lose the step stool, and add a nightstand and light for the other person in the bed. Some of us have glasses, phones, water, etc. that need to be close.
Next - the bathroom. Since the sink is one of those little sinks that stand on its own with absolutely no room around it, perhaps a second shelf could be installed (next to the phone).
That would be awesome for those of us who need a place for our contact lenses, solution, hair products, perfume, etc. We used the couch that was in front of the bed as a place to store a lot of our bathroom supplies.
Electrical outlets - there are 2 on the left of the bathroom sink and 2 on the right - plenty, if you are the only one getting ready because you can close the toilet and rest your hairdryer there. However, if you are trying to get ready and someone is in the bathroom, you're out of luck. There's a long mirror outside of the bathroom, to the left of the bathroom door which would be a perfect place to get ready but the closest outlet is on the OTHER side of the bathroom door, right under two hanging bathrobes and right next to the jacuzzi tub (to blow dry your hair while bathing perhaps?) Here's another solution- trade the long mirror with the robe hooks and maybe put a low stool there? Then you'd have a long mirror, an outlet, and a little place to sit while getting.
And last, there's the train. It sounds very romantic when you arrive at 3pm. However, at 4:45 AM and 5:15? Not so much. Fortunately, they DO give you earplugs.
We WILL be back in Eugene. Not sure if we'll be here again. read more
