The 505 Eugene

I LOVED everything about my stay. The Nordic was such a clean look. I felt as though I was back in Europe. The loft design was beautiful with the black and white, bits of wood and 'marble' , with an exposed brick ceiling. The appliances looked very European and functioned beautifully. Linens were great. Even the TV was easy to navigate with lots of options , including airplay. The bathroom and kitchen were well appointed and I appreciated the natural products and eye makeup remover pads very much. I was surprised at other reviews complaining about the train noise. I have stayed at all the nice hotels around this area and you can hear the train from ALL of them. ONLY 505 gave out very good ear plugs. And in black!! I am very fit so didn't mind the stairs but certainly be aware it's a walk up. The codes on the outer and apartment doors worked great. As a solo woman I felt very safe in this area. Parking was easy. The rate was very fair. Communication during my stay was excellent. My daughter lives in Eugene in a tiny apartment so I will absolutely hope to stay at 505 again.

Always a great experience at the 505! Super clean and well provisioned with everything you need. They respond quickly to any concerns and give you all the info you need for checking in and out. The only draw back is the train whistles but they provide ear plugs.

I cannot recommend you stay here. The pros: I received excellent service via text message and email. For example, when I could not find the switch for the under cabinet lights before I went to bed, someone got back to me at nearly 10pm to tell me they were in an unlikely spot in the cabinet. (I had to get on a chair to turn the switch off.) Although they do not have any place for people to store luggage after checkout, I was given a one hour extension that allowed me to take a meeting downtown. The check-in process worked as described. Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros. This location is near a train that woke me every night at 2am, 4am, 5am etc. I am typically a heavy sleeper and this is not a train rumbling past — it is a horn repeatedly blasting at all hours of the night. I imagine the problem is made worse by broken window fastenings. (See attached photos.) There were dirty dishes in the cabinets with obvious food stains still on them. Every knob in the kitchen was loose. The ventilation system was incredibly loud. Overall, the quality was deeply unacceptable for $600/night. I want to be honest because I was very disappointed after reading so many positive reviews on this site.
