Hayward Inn

Granted, only popped into the main/ lobby building for a meeting, but really dug the clean, understated modern design. Staff had all the cheer I could handle with none of the bypass-humanity-mode corporate 'professionalism' w/ those uncanny valley smiles that give credence to ickes's reptilian theories. Somehow both tucked away and centrally located, moments from downtown Eugene as well as OSU, directly next to picturesque bike paths alongside the Willamette River through multiple beautiful parks, and from what I saw, cheaper than the 'i truly don't understand the appeal' Valley River Inn and that Hilton offshoot brand place that looks like a detention facility externally and feels like one within; stay Hayward... it'll be the the least depressing aspect of being in Eugene.

Staff here are awesome! Super friendly and easy to talk to and were on hand ready to help. We stayed in the Franklin building and staff even offered to carry our bags up for us. The room itself was nice and spacious with a good desk space and a little area around a wall for the coffee bar which leads into the bathroom. Location is super central so everything was in walking distance for us too which was great. We played shuffleboard down at the bar one evening and the server from TN was great to chat to! Thanks for an amazing stay!

I stayed for about a week and had a good experience. The staff was able to provide me with fun things to do nearby the hotel, within walking distance, as well as a map of U of O which I appreciated. David, Ian, and the woman at the front desk who's name I didn't catch were all very kind and welcoming. The room was nice with a small balcony and free parking. Breakfast was as to be expected for a hotel complimentary breakfast. All together a good experience and I would be happy to stay again.

I selected this place because of its location to UO and advertised rooms with a quiet view of the Willamette River. This is a low budget motel masquerading as a luxury hotel. The rooms were remodeled with cheap material and the buildings are far away from the main lobby and amenities. We constantly dealt with noise problems as the walls are paper thin so you could hear other guests taking showers and running water. The front desk was inhospitable and frankly knew their motel rooms was trash and did not try to accommodate. They said that people are up in the morning taking showers so that is to be expected. I never stayed at a hotel and was awaken by people taking showers. The bathroom had chipped paint and visible stains. However, the only investment that I appreciated was the 55” tv. With

Free parking, clean rooms, good beds, quiet. Dave and Jenn at the front desk are extremely helpful. The free breakfast is out of this world with eggs, sausage, coffee, cereal etc. It is prepared by Rebecca and Laela. There is a good grocery store and drug store across the street. The WIFI is reliable. The bar makes a good margarita.
