The hotel is nice and good location. The restaurant onsite was very good. However, this hotel is extremely noisy. You can hear conversations in the room next door that has an adjoining door. The next door room literally shakes your room when the door slam shuts. Unfortunately we had a bunch of male teenagers that were constantly going in and out of their room.

I like the Valley River inn and have been a few times however this was not a great trip. The room had a fireplace smell coming in from vent. Ground floor with terrible view and zero privacy. Kid running back and forth in room above with loud pops and creaks that became increasingly annoying. Mattress felt like a box spring and needs to be thrown out. Highly disappointed and will think two before booking again. Pool looked inviting and breakfast In restaurant was pretty good.

March 16, 2026lazyjimPleasant view of river; long walk to the room.
This is a larger hotel than I anticipated, with a long walk from parking to our room. We had chosen a riverfront view room, and we enjoyed that location. The room was reasonably large, everything was in working order, check-in was easy, departure was easy. We chose this hotel because it is immediately adjacent to the Eugene riverfront bicycle trail, and we stopped in Eugene primarily to cycle on this trail before having dinner with friends. The hotel is not directly connected to the trail, but it's a short 200 yard ride across the a little-used (maybe on Black Friday) part of the shopping center parking lot to a trail entrance. Unlike most places we stay, this hotel is traditional, with a restaurant, and no breakfast provided with the room. We brought cereal, yogurt, and fruit with us, so did not visit the restaurant. But the restaurant has a nice river view, and I hope the food is as good as the location. The room was a little cheaper than comparable places with breakfast, so the value is about the same. There are only a couple of places to stay in Eugene that are really close to the trail, and this was the only one we found that allowed us access without even crossing a single street. We would consider it again for a one-night stay, but for a longer stay would opt for a more modern unit with a full-sized fridge and kitchenette.

March 3, 2026Sid ABeautiful Stay on the River
The Valley River Inn is clearly the premier hotel in Eugene. Recently renovated, it is clear that the hotel was remade in the perfect balance of history and modern flair. My guest room had a wonderful view of the river while being spacious and comfortable. The beds are incredible and wish I could have stayed in my room longer. The fitness room had everything I needed and the outdoor pool looked so inviting that I want to come back in the summer when it is open! Sweetwaters is the best hotel restaurant I've ever been in. The setting is vibrant and alive, not a boring overlooked space that describes most hotel restaurants. Over the week, I had both breakfast and dinner. Both were amazing! Anyone traveling to Eugene should give this hotel a chance, you won't be disappointed!

Great local stay
Valley River Inn is a great local stay with a beautiful location. The staff are professional and friendly. The rooms are comfortable and quiet with nice in room amenities. Valley River inn feels like a visit to a mountain ski lodge nestled on a river bank.
