My husband and I decided at the last minute to stay the night in Eugene because we were attending an event at The Hult Center. Driving back home that night, an hour away, didn’t seem appealing. The Timbers was appealing to me because of the proximity to the Hult Center and the appearance and age of the property. This motel was a cross between MCM and Twin Peaks which made it even more charming but had been recently updated with new flooring, wood slat ceilings as well as new fixtures. The front desk staff was very friendly for both the check-in and check-out procedures which a quick and easy process. I requested to be on the ground floor for our single, queen bed motel room as I have some mobility issues. The staff provided us a room on the ground floor on the back side of the building which we were able to have a parking spot right in front of the room. The room was cleanish. There was some black stains on the comforter, which looked like ink, the carpet at the front door was pretty gross, the table was a bit dirty and for the few minutes I walked on the wood floors without socks and shoes, my feet became dirty. But, aside from that, the room was fairly clean and comfortable. The air conditioning worked great which was amazing since it was in the high 80’s during our visit. The old charm of the room was amazing, the original shower and tile, along with the MCM style furniture and wood ceilings throughout. Aside from the carpets and floors in our room, the complaints I have were how loud the upstairs guest was. I’m surprised that when they installed the new wood ceilings, they didn’t install new insulation in the ceiling to help absorb the sound. Apparently, the upstairs guest needed to be awake at 5am and leave by 6am. It sounded like they were moving furniture and stomping back and forth the entire time and then let the door slam. My other complaint was the breakfast available was incredibly limited. The bacon didn’t look like it had been cooked at all, more like it was heated in the microwave for maybe 1 minute. The pastries were sad looking and there just wasn’t much of a selection. Personally, I think they could do away with the bacon and other hot items as none of them looked very appetizing. If you want a good breakfast for a really good price, go to Mandy’s just a few blocks away. We will definitely stay here again if we need to visit Eugene overnight. But I would rather walk up and down the stairs in pain than be put in a downstairs room again. Also, I would prefer a King size bed and a bathtub over a shower, but that’s personal preference.
Very Good
