Liked: Cleanliness
Check-in was nice on line Room updated and overall nice
Our room was extremely clean and this point is very important, especially to my wife. The room was comfortable, all appliances worked well, the bed was nice and the addition of a room fan was very nice. We both felt it was a good value. Note that it is in the heart of downtown Eugene OR.
It was remote check in went very smoothly. We texted the owners with a few questions and they were very prompt and helpful! The room was larger than expected and was very clean and well appointed! We had a great stay.
Cute renovated boutique style motel. We had room 205. My only complaint is that we had no window, and it was the middle of a heat wave so the A/C wasn't the best. But it was clean, cute, service was amazing. I would stay again- different room.
The Local Motel is an older motel that was remodeled by someone with a very clever vision. It was very comfortable and included all the amenities (refrigerator, coffee maker, etc.). Though there is no one on site, I was able to arrange an early check-in by text message.
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.
