Front desk staff was very friendly and efficient. Room was clean and fully functional. Breakfast provided was basic but fine. Location is excellent for attending events at the arena, right across the street. Couldn't be closer. Plenty of free parking.

Not a 5-start hotel but not intended to be, rather a bohemian small hotel with GREAT service and GREAT small extra touches like the morning breakfast… and a GREAT location for visiting UO. Would definitely stay here again.
