Hayward Inn, Eugene

The hotel sits directly across the street from the University of Oregon, placing guests within a 12-minute walk of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. Autzen Stadium is an 11-minute drive away, and the Valley River Center shopping centre is 9 minutes by car. The property consists of three buildings: the Hayward building, where breakfast and the indoor pool are located, and the Franklin and Hilyard buildings, which offer balconies and river views.

Each air-conditioned room comes with a flat-screen TV, a desk, and a tea/coffee maker, with private bathrooms offering a bath or shower. The Hayward building rooms have been renovated, while the Franklin and Hilyard buildings feature spacious layouts with private balconies. Some rooms have two sinks, a separate vanity outside the main bathroom, and waterview options overlooking the creek behind the hotel.

The indoor swimming pool is open year-round, available for guest use regardless of weather. A fitness center with more equipment than typical hotel gyms is located on site, and sun loungers line the pool area. Complimentary full breakfast is served daily from 6:30 AM, with hot items such as cheese omelettes and oatmeal, plus fresh fruit and coffee.

The on-site restaurant serves locally sourced meals for lunch and dinner, and a bar offers sliders, cocktails, and shuffleboard. A 24-hour front desk and business center provide fax and photocopying services, plus luggage storage and safety deposit boxes. Vending machines with snacks, microwave meals, and drinks are available, and the hotel offers dry cleaning and laundry services.

The hotel's pet-friendly policy allows significant accommodations for furry friends, including designated pet-friendly buildings and a small outdoor relief area. Family rooms are available with two queen beds, and cots or rollaway beds can be arranged upon request. Guests with dogs have noted that the morning and evening staff are especially attentive to pet owners' needs.
