We had a great stay at the Downtown Inn. I am giving it 5 stars because of its great value for your money. It is clean, quiet, and has a feel of a motor inn from earlier days. It is updated with comfortable beds and pillows. The continental breakfast is good although the breakfast room is small. We will definitely stay here again. read more

This motel was fine to stay at when we needed a spot during a bad snow storm. My mom had stayed here once before and I remember seeing her room and how large it was. Our room was a little smaller than the other one this time but still a normal hotel room size. The heater worked well but is really loud even when on low. I came during a snowstorm and the driveway was really hard to get into but normally it's easy to park. The people who own the motel are there 24/7 if you need anything during the night or a late check in. The rooms are clean and I saw them taking the bedspreads out of other rooms when they were cleaning them so I hope that means they wash them! Most hotels don't usually do this but I think they do here which is great! There isn't any coffee or breakfast in the morning but you are walking distance to downtown and there is a gas station across the street for any snacks or water. There are also places to grab food and you aren't far from the main highways. This is a non-smoking hotel that does not allow pets. We found a better deal on Hotwire than we did on their website - just a tip! read more

A lot nicer than I thought it would be. In a good location and very decent for the price! Clean, AC, cable, and minifridge.

The owners here are so incredibly kind and accommodating! The man who helped us at check in was so friendly and gave us great recommendations. He suggested awesome places to eat and we had a lovely chat with him every time we ran into him in the parking lot of the inn. He would ask us what we thought of the places we ate, gave us additional suggestions, and kindly checked that we were enjoying our stay. The inn is pretty close to the freeway exit, but despite this it is very quiet and comfortable. We never had issues with the street being loud, but if you are concerned just ask for a room further from the road. The inn is at the perfect location to walk into downtown Eugene or to local parks. It's ultra convenient to just stay parked at the inn and walk around to explore without needing to fuss over parking downtown. The room itself was clean and very comfortable. There was a big T.V. across from the comfy bed which was fun to watch before tucking in for the night; there were countless movie channels to chose from! The room also had a fridge, microwave, a portable lighted makeup mirror, and a unique desk lamp. Lots of lighting options everywhere which made getting ready easy. We went when there happened to be a heatwave and the AC would cool the room nearly instantly which was nice perk! Everything looked as though it had been newly remodeled, especially the bathroom which had a spotless shower. I cannot emphasize enough how clean this room was. The room was a little more on the "cozy" side, but we never had issues with being on top of each other while getting ready. The quality and value of this place can not be beat! If you're visiting Eugene, you should stay here to enjoy a clean, comfortable, and friendly stay! read more

See all

stayed here with 1 other person for three nights at the end of February 2010. Booked this hotel last minute because everything else was booked and we had to attend a conference. Paid $70/night. The first night they had to put us in a smoking room bc was the only available room and not only did it reek of smoke, but the carpet, furniture, tv, bathroom was all old and worn. Non-smoking room was a lot nicer and cleaner. the TV was even bigger and more modern. Staff was ok/friendly. Although one-morning a member of staff busted in on us (luckily when we were just about to leave) without knocking or anything -- they thought the room was empty and came to clean. Bus stop about 10-15 mins walk away. PROS: - free, fast wifi - mini fridge in room - 10-15 walk to Laughing Planet for good burritos :) CONS: - the smoking room was a bit run-down. definitely felt like a dump in there - free continental breakfast = bananas and packaged muffins (ew) - though we didn't have any guests, there is a huge sign saying no guests allowed "on premises" just a relatively cheap place to stay for a couple nights but not to relax. would look for another place next time. read more

Love to come back, very clean and safe for the family Costumer service is a plus, and with the light breakfast you should be o.k. and ready to travel until you reach your destination. Plenty Restaurants around it too. Don't forget to try to eat at Izakaya Oyazi other than their food is really good and cheap read more

Looks are deceiving. It's been recently renovated. The rooms have been updated and they are spotless. Plenty of hot water and the beds comfortable. They are tight on parking, but there is a parking lot across the street as well. I'd stay again. Go Ducks! read more

We stayed in this inn in Oregon when we were driving from Washington to California. It's nice that they accomodate us even though we don't have a reservation. The room and bathroom are both clean. And they also have breakfast. But it still bothers me that the sheets somewhat smelled like smoke, not cigarette smoke though. And the surrounding place is a little shady. You might want to make sure to lock your car and hotel door. read more

Simple, very clean hotel with breakfast. Within walking distance of the Hult and Fifth Street Market. Attractive, recently refurbished room. Not a luxury hotel but has what I need: Comfortable firm mattress, good towels, and WiFi. Easy check-in/out. I will stay here again. read more

Great little motel! Everything was perfect from check in (very nice guy) to the room. The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, the bathrooms were nice. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs a place to stop if they are on a road trip or are in Eugene for a duck game! read more

This place is not much to look at from the outside but very clean and updated in the inside. The staff are very very nice, it is located just down from the down town area it makes a great little walk to breakfast or local bars. I would stay here again. read more

Probably the best "cheap motel" I've ever stayed in - and I mean that in a good way. Not everyone can, or wants to, spend hundreds of dollars per night on a place to sleep and shower. I've stayed in quite a few under $100 per night places and this was by far the nicest, cleanest, and most up-to-date. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom looked like it had been recently renovated, the shower was hot and had great pressure, and the room was very clean. There's free coffee, juice, and other self serve breakfast items like yogurt and cereal (again, nothing fancy). It is walking distance from downtown and there is a Starbucks, 5-Guys, and a Subway literally next door if you need something closer. read more

Stayed here one nite in october. Excellent value. Clean, comfortable, quiet, secure, & just three blocks from Hult & six from Amtrak. Breakfast minimal; would be improved with cold cereal & milk. Would stay here again. read more

Five stars are given because the Downtown Inn is at the top of the inexpensive motel category. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, microwave and refrigerator, free off street parking, free wifi, and within walking or biking distance of downtown, U of O, the Whiteaker, and many other great parts of Eugene. All at a great price. Most especially, the kind innkeeper Henry and his family obviously care a great deal about the guest's experience. And Henry was most helpful when I asked for information about the area. read more

Great rooms! Great & big bathrooms!! Awesome maid service. Very nice & helpful people. Quiet & calm. Close to everything. Nice refrigerator with a freezer. Nice beds. Overall well maintained & cleaned. Every time we come to Eugene this is where we are staying. read more

For a small inn situated right downtown, this was a great find! The price was right and we enjoyed being walking distance from many things. VERY friendly and accommodating staff. Easy and free parking, relatively quiet even though it's on a busy street-although we kept our front window closed all night. Very comfortable bed! Bathroom window to the rear or our room looked out onto a neighbor's BEAUTIFUL garden-not all rooms had this option. Breakfast included, but pretty basic: breakfast breads, coffee, tea, hard boiled eggs, and fruit. read more

This place was such a pleasant surprise. We were escaping the meth-filled crapfest that is Portland, and decided to stay a night in Eugene. At first, we were concerned that the quoted prices would lead us to meth/zombie-filled wasteland--but we couldn't have been more wrong. The Downtown Inn was clean, safe, comfortable, and a short distance from the Red Barn organic store--another awesome find in this really cool little city. I would recommend this establishment in a heartbeat to anyone. It is family-run. It is well-run. We had absolutely no issues during our (unfortunately) short stay. We look forward to staying here again when we have the opportunity to visit this gem of a town again. Love you guys. read more

Appreciated a number of things about Downtown Inn: large bathroom with window (natural light in the morning); LED desk lamp (so I didn't have to deal with florescent light while working); EZ access plugs (so I didn't have to move furniture to plug in my laptop); comfy pillow top mattress, granite counter in sink area and extra special touch - make up mirror! And because this is a one level establishment, I didn't have to listen to any upstairs neighbors traipsing around all night. In fact, I didn't hear any sound through the walls at all. Henry was helpful and referred me to local restaurants. read more

This inn/motel is terrific. My stay was for several days while attending the Oregon Independent Film Festival. Location is within walking distance of downtown. Great for me. I seldom used the car. The room was spacious, very clean, quiet and comfy bed. I travel with my own pillow so no testimony about theirs. Good towels, mini-bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Clean shower curtain...that's a plus in my book. Opening windows both front and back of room. Nice cross breeze. Weather was exceptional with slight rain. The compact fridge came in handy. The freezer compartment is tiny. Good size table with one chair. I'm sure the owners would bring another. Parking is more often than not right in front of your room. A breakfast of sorts is offered. Offerings during my visit: bagels, mostly gone peanut butter(no long utensil to scrape the bottom), juice, gooey pastry(yuck), tea, coffee along with other things I can't recall. First come first served. Small table in same room. The only reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars was because of the lackluster breakfast. The owners are on site. Absolutely delightful folks. Very hands on. Accessible. I would book here again with no hesitation. read more

Dropping off our college baby at the university of Oregon... We stayed here!!!! Very cozy, spacious, definitely enjoyed our time here!

Staff is really nice and pleasant. The rooms were super clean and very comfortable. Definitely a good value and was a great place to crash for the night to break up a long drive home. I'm sure a longer stay would be great at this place. The room also had some cool little additions, like a makeup mirror, a folding board, and this rad little desk lamp/bladeless fan. Plus, continental breakfast! Additionally, the bathroom was pristine and updated and just all around really nice. read more

My family stayed at the Downtown Inn one night as we were traveling through Eugene and we recommend this place highly as it was the cleanest, well kept up and nicest Inn that we've ever stayed at! It is reasonably priced, quiet, and the owners are friendly! read more

The Downtown Inn in Eugene is centrally located and perfect walking distance to many destinations in the city. Owners and staff were exceptionally nice and accommodating. When back in Eugene this is where I'll be! read more

I found the people to be joyful and happy I was confused about the price as I thought it was $75 a night and it seems I got charged $95 and I paid cash 144.69 no receipt was given but that's ok I have stayed here with my brother before and the folks here are always wonderful Wi-Fi was a little hard to connect to but maybe some instructions in the room would be an idea or maybe the prior guest took them with them but no matter read more

Back a year later. After being on the road for 6 days, the Downtown Inn is so nice to come back to ---spotlessly clean and charming!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the downtown inn. i have stayed there many times, and henry, the owner is always friendly and helpful. He makes you feel like not just a customer. The rooms are what you would expect from a motel, but CLEAN! The beds are comfortable, and road noise is not bad. At least one previous review mentioned that the towels were not great, but, this past time i stayed there, the towels were new and soft. Henry is constantly updating and improving everything, whether its new towels, or new locks, its better every time i go. I will be back every time i go to eugene! read more

This is a great little family owned inn at a price that can't be beat. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The only thing I can knock, is that the coffee for breakfast was a little weak, but I am a coffee snob. I wouldn't even consider any other place in the Eugene area for my future trips. read more

My girlfriend and I stayed here while in Eugene for the Oregon v Virginia football game. This property exceeded our expectations. Henry, the property manager, was awesome. He was very welcoming and receptive to every need that we had. The rooms were very clean and cozy. We felt safe for our entire 4 night stay. They have a continental breakfast that will get you going in the morning. We had a wonderful time staying at the Downtown Inn and we will definitely be back in the future. read more

Great memories made here. Owners are awesome, rooms are great, simple and clean. Will accommodate a late night check in, or early for a little afternoon delight. Excellent value for the price, and within stumbling distance from downtown for those "I shouldn't drive" evenings. read more

We loved the Downtown Inn because our room had... - Remodeled freshness and nice decor. - Excellent lighting. - Plentiful and easily accessible AC outlets for charging our devices. - Mini refrigerator. - Lighted magnifying makeup mirror. - Easy to figure out and use hot/cold shower faucet. We also appreciated the... - Nice owners - Good continental breakfast (included hard boiled eggs) - Reasonable price There was: "Nothing to not like" read more

Booked this place but was a little weary. No need to be !!! It obvious the owners are making improvements and they are putting the money in the right places. Up to date door locks, flooring and fixtures. Furniture is out dated but that is minor. They stylize the shower curtain and have good quality bath amenities. The breakfast was a little better than average. In fact the front desk called is to tell us there was fresh coffee if we wanted some more read more

The drug deal outside the office should have been my first clue. This is NOT a three star motel.

I have no idea why some people rated this place at less than five stars - it was an outstanding value. We chose a motel-type place to save money, and even though the Downtown Inn had good online reviews, we were very pleasantly surprised. The room was large and clean, with lots of work space, surfaces and chairs, firm, comfortable beds, free wifi (good speed and connection), friendly staff, fridge, microwave, good shower... everything you could want. Best of all, the location is fantastic - walking distance from the Saturday Market, a number of coffee shops and other attractions. We will definitely stay here again. read more

I Love staying here!!!! Friendly, clean, clean, clean! I always stay here when in Eugene. Owners are so nice, clean rooms, nice continental breakfast, nothing fancy but very, very nice. Close to the University. I would recommend this place to friends and family. read more

Many others have said all that I would say. Give it a chance. The neighborhood isn't all that great, but it is fine unless you are relating to upscale hotel or motel rows at Disney World. Very clean and comfortable, for real. No scents to cover up that cigar smoker that thinks rules are not for them. The beds are very comfortable and I am particular because I am a big guy. Noise in the neighborhood was very low or non-existent at night, which makes for a nice sleep. Also, room to room noise is almost not there at all. I mean Not At All. Bathroom is good size and nicely done. In fact the whole place is nicely done. As you are driving around the corner to get to the Henry's little gem, don't get confused with the place you go by first. Downtown Inn is right on 7th avenue. But you will know you are in good hands once you meet Henry. He will accommodate your needs. I came in very late at night on a road trip and he was gentle and smiled welcomingly. Easy to talk to and he is quite a host (and owner). I am not in a rush so I did not get up for the Continental Breakfast until 9am. When I saw Henry at 9:30 am , we chatted a bit and he offered me some coffee or juice. Very nice person. It really made me feel like I was staying at a friends for a night. This is my experience, I wish you all the same. read more

We stayed 1 night. Got to check in 3 hours early. Very clean and lots of added touches. Many cable channels on the TV. Large room and bath. Comfy beds and pillows. I would stay again for sure. read more

The Downtown Inn may look plain but once inside the rooms are very, very clean, been remodeled with pleasant earth tone colors & nicely done. The family operated staff are helpful and pleasant. They pointed out a river walk and garden nearby. The breakfast is adequate with fresh fruit, bagels, cereal Danish and coffee. If you need a place to stay and reasonably price; extremely clean & comfortable this is the place to stay. read more

I liked the downtown inn, very cheap. I also liked how quiet it got in the night, no noise from other hotel guests. The rooms were clean and the bed was a king and so comfortable . And don't forget the free wifi awesome sauce. The staff were super cool with me and the hubby. I'd stay again there. read more

For what it is - a simple motel - it indeed is as good as it gets. Independently owned. First, it was spotless. No exaggeration. We stayed a week in January, and typical of us, we don't let anybody in to clean for the whole time. We don't make a mess, and we go to get clean towels and toilet paper, but the do not disturb sign is on the door 24/7. The king bed was comfortable, the room was quiet even though the motel is near the freeway entrance and 7th Ave. is a one-way major street. Because we brought a cable, we were able to stream from the TV by unplugging the motel's HDMI cable and plugging ours in. We ate out most of the time - downtown restaurants are close, we were always surprised at how quickly we could walk to them. And movie theaters - like 16-seat movie theaters! $6! The only downside was the fridge on the floor - had to drop to the floor to use it. The manager and his wife were very kind, sweet people - the housekeeper had been there 15 or so years, chatty and helpful and I saw her on her knees scrubbing a bathroom floor. Even though she never touched our room while we were there, she certainly did before and after, so we left her $20. All in all, this simple, unpretentious, not attractive-looking motel was far better than we could have expected for the price, and far better than some of the pricier places we've stayed. Quiet, comfortable and clean. read more

Never having had the experience of booking a motel, I had reservations about doing so, but the Downtown proved to be everything that I saw online: clean. comfortable, efficient, close to restaurants. read more
