I believe that when rating a hotel, you need to take into account what you paid - a you should not expect a $50 - $75 a night hotel to be the same as a higher priced property.

I booked two rooms in August at this Travelodge while attending a wedding. We had two adults in each room. The cost with tax, total per room, was less than $70.

For that we got not just a nice clean room with two queen size beds, we also got a voucher for each person good for a free restaurant breakfast (limited choices off free selections but included egg with hash browns and bacon), including coffee or small juice. We had a large color TV, a microwave, a iron and board, a small refrigerator and a coffee maker. We had bath towels and separate pool towels. Each room had standard shampoo and soap but also better than average skin cream. And to top all this off, both rooms were exceptionally roomy and fully adequate baths.

The staff, including maids, were very friendly and the location is right off the highway, about 20 minutes north of Eugene.

OK, so were there any negatives? Well, the hotel adjoins a truck stop which did not bother me but might bother some, I guess. The nice thing about -- the truck stop quick shop was right next to hotel parking lot and sold all kinds of snacks, etc at very reasonable prices - like a 32oz bottle of Dasani (spelling?) water for $1.00. There is no exercise or business center and no high speed computer access. All rooms are at ground level and all rooms open to exterior parking lot and courtyard. The A/C in one room worked but was weak (other room had newer A/C unit ahd worked fine). And there is a small swimming pool with heated jaccuzzi but it is, naturally, outside.

It appears mostly families and couples traveling through or on vacation in local area stay here. Your family can all sit down to a nice breakfast and even if order additional choices off of menu, will most certainly spend less than a McDonalds breakfast (and you get plenty without doing that). At night, kids played in the pool and adults sat, watched the kids, and talked. It was nice and we really enjoyed.

Oh, if you like bacon be sure to get with breakfast! It is cut very thick and cooked very nicely. I never had bacon cut this thick before and man, I have to say, it was very, very good!

Bottom line, if you are looking for a great pool scene, etc this is clearly not your hotel but if looking for a place to stay a couple of nights or a stop on the highway while going on a family vacation, this Travelodge will most definintely not disappoint.
