Valley River Inn is amazing.
Great location. Amazing outside pool. Right on the river with free cruiser bikes to head into different parts of Eugene. This is our preferred place to stay in Eugene because it is so comfortable and a great base for adventures.

Ok hotel in good location on river.
It is an older hotel of wood frame construction, so there is a significant amount of noise from rooms above. Their restaurant does not offer room service. Beds are reasonable good, but are older.

We were there at Valley River Inn to spend our 40th wedding anniversary! Our wedding reception was held at Valley River Inn 40 years ago. The place has been updated. Front desk was very friendly. They upgraded us to a river view. Very nice.
