A coffee table and a rug could’ve done wonders with the ambience and the way the TV was mounted. Made it hard for me to relax in bed or hang out on the couch and eat dinner.
But I mean overall, it was a great spot just some thoughts on how to improve especially with what I paid for a night to seem like there could’ve been just a little bit more. But overall felt very safe and had a nice day.
Very boutique feel to this property :)
Didn’t realize when I booked it that it had no staff on site yet getting into our room was pretty stress free once I checked my email 😜 bed was very comfortable and room was very clean! Thoughtful touches like ear plugs were provided for sensitive sleepers ☺️ location was convenient for our trip !! Thank you to all staff who obviously love providing a great alternative to mainstream hotels 😘 would definitely stay here again !
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.

Needed an ice maker but overall excellent. Thank you for the very nice 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.
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.

Warm and dry and aws convenient location for us. Some road noise and homless camp abuting property.
Great little place to stay. The bed is comfortable and the rooms are adorable inside. Easy contactless check-in process. Very clean. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again.
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.
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.
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.
Really cute boutique motel! I love that it has been given a new life, and redone so well! Very comfy bed and central location. I would stay there again if visiting Eugene.
