Motel 6 Eugene, OR - South Springfield in Eugene

Got to motel and office door had a sign that said, be back in 5 minutes. Not a big deal. Someone who was behind the counter, watching the place while the staff was gone, opened the door and let us in. He asked if we called and made a reservation a moment ago. I said I didn’t and that I booked our room through ******* a week prior. He was difficult to understand and he didn’t understand what I was telling him. He looked confused and shuffled papers around at the desk and handed over 2 key cards . I thought it was weird because he didn’t get my name, my id, a form of payment or my vehicle. We sorta brushed it off and thought he was just high because he looked rough (meth). Got to the room and unloaded our things. Was getting ready to leave for a few hours when the hotel staff stopped us at our room door and said we were given the wrong room, which we already knew. another tip off, the room didn’t have a microwave which I specifically reserved a room with one. I don’t know why microwaves and coffee pots are not standard in every room? Anyways, got to the new room with the microwave but no coffee pot. Very disappointed. We unpacked again which was making us late for other plans we had. When we were leaving, we noticed that the first guy that “checked us in” was cleaning rooms. He was a housekeeper. I should also mention that when we checked in, it was after 4pm and housekeepers were still cleaning rooms.shower curtain short so bathroom floods after showers.

I arrived after dark. I had a truck and travel trailer. Nowhere in the listing was anything about parking larger vehicles. The man at the desk brushed me off at first. He said id have to deal with ******* because i reserved through them. After I insisted, he told me sometimes people park large vehicles on the street in front. So I did that. My room was at the opposite end. I had to walk that distance several times. He gave me a parking pass after I'd already parked and walked back. I was too tired for such a run around.

The next day, the partial roll of toilet paper was used up. I called the front desk and asked for more. A man told me people usually go to the office and pick it up themselves. He told me the place wasnt a full service motel. He said he would send someome down to my room with it. No one ever showed. I went to the store and bought some.

It appears that some of the motel is being used as a half-way house for people released from prison.

Pros: kind staff, working TV and temperature control, right next to Denny’s and convenient highway access.
Cons: dirty room, bathroom (black, crumbling grout between floor tiles, hair on floor, mold between bottom shower tiles), hair on bedsheets, walls and door jams need a wipe down, smoke detector hanging from the wall by two wires.
