We upgraded to a pool view and got a view of a building on the right and a bush on the left. Didn't sit on the balcony. Had a view of a little bit of the corner of the pool. We had noisy neighbors on the first night. 4:00 am. Had to wait a long time to get seated for breakfast. Only one server.

Hotel lobby is very nice with seating and restaurant connected. Room was very large and clean. The river view room with patio was a nice bonus. Beds and pillows not so comfortable though. Also, check in was at 4. Our room wasn’t ready until 5:30. They did let us check out an hour later so that we could walk on the river trail that the hotel borders. No car charging near, which was a drag. Overall good experience.

We stayed at the River Valley Inn on the last day of our vacation so we could catch an early flight out of Eugene Airport. It was the right decision! Our room with a balcony overlooked the Willamette River and Riverwalk. It was beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. Thank you for a very nice end to our vacation.

This is a huge resort right next to the river. We opted for the river view room, it is a little buggy at night (we stayed in early June), but early morning less so and very nice. The freeway is close and you will hear it when out on the balcony, but minimal traffic at night and we did not hear it with window closed. Recommend staying on the top floor. We had neighbors on either side, but could not hear them through the walls.

Our stay was one of the best we have ever had. The hotel staff at the front desk and the staff in the restaurant made our stay totally enjoyable and the shuttle driver Ann was over the top accommodating and helpful. They all seemed to be team players in trying to make the guests comfortable. We will definitely be back to enjoy your beautiful facility.
This was such a beautiful view from our rooms.

Neighbors were very loud, we call the fron desk 3 times before anything was done. This was over a 4hr period, finally came and asked them to be quiet or leave at 3am. Wall are paper thin. Even when they were just talking we could hear like we were in the room with them

Had a wonderful overnight stay at the Valley River Inn. Enjoyed the restaurant, Sweet Waters, and shout out to our server, Aaron. He did a wonderful job taking care of us and recommending a wonderful Chardonnay from the region. The beds were some of the most comfortable we’ve had during this trip And the facilities were clean and inviting. Really wish we could’ve stayed longer.

My room was in a separate building from the lobby, and that building has the craziest layout. It was like a maze. I was on the third floor, so I walked the entire inside perimeter before finding an elevator. On the third floor, I walked another three-quarters around the building perimeter to get to my room which was tucked away in the farthest corner. I was disappointed with the room. I had asked for a quiet spot, but my sleep was interrupted twice from noisy talkers late at night. I expected better from the Valley River Inn, being as it was one of the more expensive options for lodging. Lesson learned.

Our stay had highs & lows. The room was very nicely furnished & clean, but had a few maintenance issues. Checkin process left a lot to be desired. The walls are thin, and we heard a lot. The biggest sound issue are the room doors; they’re very heavy & have no slow-close feature so the whole night we kept hearing doors slamming hard, including very late and very early. Our shower had an awful screeching sound that felt like my brain was scrambling. I didn’t have time to call maintenance because I was already running late for dinner after how difficult check in was. Checkin was a poor experience. The agent told us we couldn’t use my husbands credit card because I booked the room in my name (we’re married with the same last name, that shouldnt have mattered.) The process took several minutes of typing and clicking, and after 2-3 minutes I asked him if there was a problem but he ignored me and just kept at it. Eventually he finished up and gave us keys and a short explanation of where the elevator was. We asked where we should park and he said it didn’t matter because their lot would be so full tonight we’d be lucky to find a spot anywhere. When we went to park, what he’d said was wildly untrue and there were plenty of spaces. But without any decent guidance on where our room actually was we had to repark later anyway. This is a huge sprawling hotel with several different wings and at least 2 separate buildings, they should give people some sort of map, we often felt lost.
