Oak Grove Rest Area I-5 Southbound

We were driving south on I-5 from Salem towards Eugene and needed a quick and convenient stop. This…read morerest area was relatively close to where we were and much easier than exiting the freeway to search for gas stations or other options. We've stopped here many times over the years, and while it's familiar, it wouldn't rank among our favorite rest areas. We've visited quite a few across the country that offer more modern facilities or a better overall experience. That said, this location does have a fairly nice shaded picnic area, which would likely be a pleasant spot during warmer and drier months, even though we typically don't take advantage of those features. On this particular visit, the rest area served its purpose well. The restrooms were accessible, the stop felt straightforward and efficient, and we were able to get in and out without much delay. It was adequate for what we needed at the time, allowing us to get back on the road quickly and continue our drive south.

This rest area is along I-5 north of Eugene, Oregon (so please don't move it, Yelp!). A great spot…read morefor a stretch and it's got quite a bit of greenery around. Completely overcast (when is it not?) so I wasn't concerned about shade as I took a quick nap in the Sprinter van. Restrooms in good condition with picnic tables under the trees, vending machines and a display of travel brochures, what more do you need? My only complaint is that the entrance doesn't have any sort of turn to slow people down as they enter from the highway. [Review 20935 overall - 23 in Oregon - 1919 of 2023.]

Cottage Grove Inn - Right outside my room. Such a beautiful view

Positives: Budget motel, near interstate exit, & fast food, for the cost-conscious. Not part of a…read morenational franchise. Few blocks from grocery stores, historic downtown. Rooms & fixtures have been updated, are clean. Quiet, located near a residential neighborhood, & a Catholic church, away from most noisy truck traffic. Pet friendly room is adjacent to safe area to walk pet. Rooms have newer microwave, mini Fridge, satellite TVs. All rooms non-smoking. Lobby is updated. Friendly & helpful desk staff. Breakfast buffet was adequate: hot food in crockpots. Negatives: The exterior appearance, conditon needs work. A derelict former diner building is adjacent which makes this motel look seriously sketchy. Parking lot & walkways show too many gross cigarette butts tossed by careless guests or staff taking smoke breaks. Walkways could use power washing, trash receptacles should be cleaned or replaced. The adjacent residential neighborhood seems to include some heavy cannabis users, so if the smell of drifting marijuana smoke is a turn off, this could be a problem; however much of Oregon deals with this issue, so not unusual. But if traveling with children, that might be problematic. Despite the negatives, I will stay there again when traveling with my dog & to save $$. For this solo female traveler the property felt safe enough. I didn't detect any obvious drug/criminal activity on the property.

Stayed here for a wedding. As I checked in, they ask, "Do you want housekeeping?" I say yes. Next…read moreday, leave for the day. When I get back it's clear housekeeping has been there. Swapped towels, emptied trash, etc. The one thing they didn't do? Make up the bed. Apparently that's not part of housekeeping here. I've stayed in hundreds of hotels and this has never happened before. Overall, it's a nice place. Clean, well-maintained, nice staff. They just don't care about your bed, I guess.
