There is no on-site front desk, but communication by text is usually quick; a few guests struggled with access codes or room assignments. Parking is easy, and the quirky Japanese vending-machine shop is a popular on-site perk, though some miss an ice machine and there is no breakfast. Overall, expect a stylish, good-value crash pad with potential noise and an urban setting.

Very cute, comfortable rooms with Smart TVs. Self check in was very smooth and the vending machine shop is so cool! The only downside is it’s is extremely noisy - you can hear other rooms well and the street noise was very loud at night. They do provide ear plugs, though. Overall a great stay at a great price.

Absolutely fantastic location and price, and the facilities themselves are kept in great condition. The hotel is very good about communication, and while they don’t serve breakfast, they do have a really cool vending machine room (straight out of Japan) on the premises. Fantastic stay, would recommend for any traveling to Eugene.

Really cute little motel close to downtown Eugene and some great coffee spots and shops. Bed was very comfortable, the couch bed was convenient but not quite as cozy. Parking was easy but the lot is very dark at night. Ultimately we had a nice stay and would book again.

Nice clean rooms tucked away and ample parking. Great place. Now the bad: There is no office and couldnt find a ph#. Had no way to get a key or code. So we asked a lady who pulled up and she got us a #to call. Its keyless entey and i never fot the emaul with the access code. Wd almost left and got another room. So when you book be sure you get a followup email with ur passcode to get into ur room. I would stay here again if needed.

The room was newly remodeled and very clean. The only issue was that the glass pane shower door had slipped off one track wheel and left shards of glass when first opening/closing it. Luckily I saw them and didn’t step on them. It was fixed right away after I reported it - thank you! The hotel sits at the corner of a major arterial street and a freeway on ramp, so it was very nosy even with the air conditioner fan on high. Otherwise it met our purpose for the stay.

Here are the downsides as my rating was pretty high. No staff onsite but very responsive to text. There is very poor ventilation, broken bathroom fan, a window air condtioner is your only option to bring air into the room. No elevator and a slippery shower with no grab bars. No flat surface in bathroom for toiletries except the toilet tank.

This is a cool hotel. There is a Japanese style vending machine market attached and no staff on site. Keyless entry. The room is updated and decorated in a hipster kind of modern retro vibe. Keurig for in room coffee and refrigerator and microwave. The train and road noise would bother a light sleeper.

One of the best stays. Super easy check-in. You get a code and room number, that's it. No lobby. No contact. I wish all hotels were like this. Everything in the room was beautiful. The whole style was modern and not one thing was left out. Even the microwave and fridge matched. Beautiful shower, toilet, sink, and fixtures. All the towels and soaps you could need for a long stay. The attention to detail was fantastic. You're next to the freeway, but as long as the cars don't have loud exhaust you don't hear it. Occasionally a motorcycle will go by and you hear it clearly. The train is far enough away that the horn is very faint. Not an issue at all. I really enjoyed this motel and I will be back next time I'm in Eugene.

The room is beautiful, bed is incredibly comfortable. The heat in the room did not work however I found a space heater and after a few hours the room warmed up. I did arrive after a snow storm so it was abnormally cold. The motel itself is very nice the grounds are clean and well kept however there is a very large homeless population in the area. I’m a single female traveling alone coming to and from my room late at night as I was there for a volleyball tournament. I was on high alert given some of the activity taking place near and around the motel. This would be my only reason for potentially not visiting this motel again alone. If my husband was traveling with me I would feel far more comfortable. I enjoyed the convenient check in process with no reception desk. The room had everything you could need, well decorated, clean and cozy. Only recommendation is to replace the heater and clean up the area which is beyond your control.

We were very pleasantly surprised with our stay at the Local Motel & Shops. The room was spacious, clean, and very welcoming. We were nervous that they offered both ear plugs and a white noise machine, but it was more for your comfort than need! We slept well, the place was quiet, and there's a super fun vending machine shop downstairs that we had a great time exploring. I already have a friend booking a room for an upcoming race! oh, and walking distance to our favorite pizza stop in Eugene- The Wheel Apizza Pub. 10/10!

Great place to stay. Tough location although safe it is on an onramp and is loud. Plus by a park where many transients move through.

Incredibly clean and very cute and quaint. The owners have done a fantastic job. It’s just the area is unfortunately right on a major on-ramp so it is loud at times. Also some transients in the area due to the nearby park and underpasses. But felt safe and would stay again. Perhaps a front gate would help??

This was a great place to stay. Large adjacent parking lot to the room, quick and convenient access to nearby shopping and restaurants, room was spacious and the water pressure and heat of the shower was top notch. Highly recommended for travelers. Stayed for 4 days and 3 nights.

Very cute, comfortable rooms with Smart TVs. Self check in was very smooth and the vending machine shop is so cool! The only downside is it’s is extremely noisy - you can hear other rooms well and the street noise was very loud at night. They do provide ear plugs, though. Overall a great stay at a great price.

This is a cool hotel. There is a Japanese style vending machine market attached and no staff on site. Keyless entry. The room is updated and decorated in a hipster kind of modern retro vibe. Keurig for in room coffee and refrigerator and microwave. The train and road noise would bother a light sleeper.

Nice to see an old motel updated rather than torn down. The remote was impossible to figure out even after referring to the onscreen user guide. Very, very frustrating. Why have an iron in the room if there is no ironing board? Yes, I iron my shirt before going out on an appointment. I like creamer in my morning coffee, even if it is powdered. Was the omission of that detail an oversight or your standard policy? It's the missing details which kept me from giving you a score of 'excellent'

Absolutely fantastic location and price, and the facilities themselves are kept in great condition. The hotel is very good about communication, and while they don’t serve breakfast, they do have a really cool vending machine room (straight out of Japan) on the premises. Fantastic stay, would recommend for any traveling to Eugene.

We were very pleasantly surprised with our stay at the Local Motel & Shops. The room was spacious, clean, and very welcoming. We were nervous that they offered both ear plugs and a white noise machine, but it was more for your comfort than need! We slept well, the place was quiet, and there's a super fun vending machine shop downstairs that we had a great time exploring. I already have a friend booking a room for an upcoming race! oh, and walking distance to our favorite pizza stop in Eugene- The Wheel Apizza Pub. 10/10!
