While not technically in Downtown Eugene, Valley River Inn offers one of Eugene’s best independent hotel experiences, and Downtown Eugene is easily accessible from Valley River Inn. Take advantage of their courtesy shuttle service, the Peacehealth Rides bikeshare system, or hop on the LTD bus, which picks up directly in front of Valley River Inn and drops off in the heart of Downtown Eugene. Your stay will feel central to everything Downtown Eugene has to offer.
Valley River Inn is Eugene’s only riverfront hotel. Located along the Willamette River and steps from the Ruth Bascomb Trail system, Valley River Inn offers stunning river views from many of its guestrooms, suites, and event venues. Valley River Inn underwent a full remodel in 2024, adding modern touches throughout its cozy PNW atmosphere and charming 1970s aesthetic. On-site restaurant Sweet Waters on the River is a local favorite, with sweeping river views from every seat in the house and its oversized patio.
