Americas Best Value Inn Eugene

Pretty meh (and the missus was very dismissive)

Plus: The location was pretty good, close to restaurants and easy access to main drags. The folks at the counter (the owners?) were nice. Fridge in room was convenient. Tv worked fine.

Minus: Water for the shower was either boiling or freezing (no in-between; weird). The shower stall itself was grouted with black grout (on white tiles) which made it look like mold was everywhere. The AC was VERY loud (on the other hand, it was so loud, we couldn't hear the nearby busy street -- silver lining...?). The place itself needed some renovating (everything seemed dated).

ok for the price

Plus: The family running the motel was very kind. The room was clean.

Minus: Very tiny room, no coffee pot, bad water pressure, sink clogged, no washcloths, not enough blankets on bed. Motel is crammed between two very busy major streets--quite noisy. The website says they offer accommodations for pets: blanket, food/water bowls, treats, etc. When I asked about this at the office they said they've never heard of that and offer no such thing. The $20/night pet fee seemed a bit steep as well. The breakfast offered consists of white bread, raisin bran, fruit loops, waffles, orange juice, coffee tea. Better than nothing I suppose? Wifi was slow/not working.

Did not empty the trash in the room

Plus: Overall cleanliness was bad. Gas was stolen from my car. Not cool. I probably should have brought my own linens

Minus: The kitchenette was nice but worthless for me. TV had more channels than most.

you get what you pay for

Plus: It was in an easy to find location, we checked in late at night and the hotel was full but there was still easy to find parking.

Minus: Stayed in a non smoking room that had definitely been smoked in. Air conditioning was blocked by furniture so it took a long time to cool down. Worst thing was finding a bug in my bed in the morning when I woke up. Needless to say we left quickly after that.

A lot of money for a noisy run down dump

Plus: I could bring my little doggie.

Minus: Dirty room and felt unsafe with creepy people walking around outside. Curtains had many holes, tub was cracked, cracked ceiling, towel bar bent, no coffee maker, cruddy sheets and I've NEVER experienced toilet paper of a lesser quality in my life!

Great price

Plus: But you get what you pay for. The room was clean and reasonably comfortable. I would stay here again. A few small upgrades would go a long way in improving customer experiences though.
