Eugene, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Honestly, this place is a no bells and whistles, good stay. Room was small but not too small, with a TV, fridge, and AC. The bed was a little firm but not uncomfortable, and the people at the front desk were extremely helpful and nice. It’s in a really great area as well. Very solid stay.
