A classic 20th century resort hotel, 0Valley River Inn has been one of our favorite lodgings. Located near major shopping, next to a scenic river, and a short drive from the center of Oregon's second largest city. The staff have been friendly, helpful, and professional.

We stayed at the Valley River Inn for the Eugene marathon weekend and it was above and beyond our expectations. Loved the balcony over looking the river (we booked a river view room). The room was spacious and very clean, the lobby and amenities were great and had a lovely ambiance. We didn’t dine at the restaurant this trip - so can’t say anything about the food but it looked cute! Will definitely come back for another stay!

So beautiful by the river. Loved watching the river from my balcony porch and walking on the path by the river. The restaurant was amazing too! Love the way the big screen tv is mounted on the wall. Comfy bed. Definitely going to stay here again!

Beautiful property- better than expected and love that the river trail is right there. Went for a pre-dinner walk and was nice to go right in and sit at the bar. They were busy so service was slow to start with but the view was perfect. Yummy clam chowder. Front desk staff very personable.
