    There was thick layers of dust on the head boards. The front door was black with grime. The bedding had cigarette burns and was thread bare. There was a leak coming from somewhere so there were 2 puddles of water on the floor. Strangely the bathroom was almost completely spotless. There was limited parking. I did knowingly reserve a smoking room (because it was all that was available), but it smelled like 3 people chain smoking in there. I expected a cigarette smell, but it was so incredibly strong. The lady behind the counter was very nice.

    Just a quick Wednesday night getaway to spend a fun evening with friends and it turned out perfect! I was in desperate need of a relaxing trip and that is exactly what I got! Front desk could not have been more accommodating, even help me carry my bag up the stairs to my room as they weren't busy at the moment. Absolutely loved the little table and two dining chairs! Did not use the microwave but appreciated the refrigerator. Did not hear a sound last night the bed was very comfortable and I slept so well. Feeling fresh and rejuvenated this morning headed out for crazy life again!

    Clint is very helpful and great to talk with. I enjoyed my stay and had no issues whatsoever. Some things are a bit outdated but that’s not anyone’s fault which is the reason for 4 stars. I’d say upgrading bedding would be great but me and my son still had a very good stay.

    We booked this because of the price- the other hotel options in the city were more than double the price. BUT the stay was uncomfortable and we will not book it again. The service was friendly enough, but the room quality very poor, strange, and old. It was listed as non-smoking but smelled like smoke. The shower dripped and the toilet flush was very loud and long. The bed was on wheels and shifted with every small movement. Also, we were on the first floor and the second floor room above us was very noisy ALL night long. The TV volume was super loud and it sounded like they were moving furniture all night. So much noise and we couldn’t sleep. It was pretty bad. If not for the noise, the stay would have been passable but we won’t risk it again.

    We arrived and checked in owner stated we give limited towels so they don’t get dirty. We asked for me he gave to us. We opened door to find the carpets old and rancid with and awful smell in room. Carpets were all stained. The bathroom had old rotten sink cabinets that were leaning to the side. Many flies in the room. No screens on windows to air place out. We gave up and immediately asked for a refund as room was uninhabitable. I was met with no refunds as too late to rent out again. We didn’t know the shape of room prior so unfair policy. I would not recommend to anyone to stay here. I’m ashamed Expedia would list this hotel as they usually promote good hotels. I will blame Expedia for this.

    We stayed here because Eugene's hotels tripled in price. They only had a smoking room so smell was awful. Only 1 small lamp so super dark in the room. Spiderwebs all over outside. Graffiti in the drawers and most of the rooms were filled with people that live there. Won't go back. That is for sure.

    I am not going back but it's not bad for what it is. Wifi is a joke, maybe it's just my room but I tried to use the WiFi several times but the data rate was horrible. The window heater/ac blows right over the bed. Someone has put a lot of work maintaining everything but the budget was really tight. Fair amount of human drama can be heard unfolding with in hearing distance.

    The room had one tiny lamp on the table in the corner so it made the room dark, the heater didn't work properly, it would only blow warm air for about 3 minutes then it would blow cold air like you put the air conditioner on. There were only 2 outlets in the room and neither one were by the beds. The bathroom didn't have any at all,the water didn't stay hot for very long. No coffee, no soap. It had a creepy, eerie feeling. I will not be going back

    However, the manager who checked us in and out was extremely personable and was very attentive. He made sure that we had everything we needed even though they didn't really have much. The property was the opposite though. The room smelled like cigarettes, floors were cold and moist, toilet seat broke off after one day, and for some reason there was only one lamp in the corner that was so dim we had to keep the bathroom door open and have that light on while we got ready. Opening the window curtains was not an option because it opened up right to the parking lot and had no sheer curtains to block out view, but let in light. So that didn't help at all. If you're on a tight budget or have no other options, this place has a bed, a TV, a shower, and a toilet. You'll survive.

    This was our second time staying here on our trip. The motel hasn't changed, but we now have the perspective of having stayed in quite a variety of places. This place is still decent for staying the night (definitely make sure you double-check that you're in non-smoking if that's what you prefer!) but there are some things that could be improved upon: the showerheads are quite low (about 5 1/2 feet); our bathroom smelled of urine upon our arrival for some reason, there weren't any bedbugs but a special protective covering could be added for extra peace of mind; there could be laminate flooring for easier cleaning instead of carpeting; more than 1 lamp to illuminate the room; a stronger wifi signal for those who don't have data. The rooms are cheap and if you only need them to sleep, I would still say they're good for that

    The manager, Clint, goes the extra mile to provide excellent service and he is very friendly and helpful. The house keeping was standard and the beds were extremely comfortable!! The property is older and has cosmetic issues, but that is to be expected in the lower price range, and it looks like they are in the process of making updates. The property itself aside, the service is excellent and I would highly recommend Relax Inn if you want accomodations in the lower price bracket in Cottage Grove.

    This motel is exactly what you would expect for a room of this price. There was nothing "fancy" or special about the room; it was a place to sleep out of the weather. The best was the heater -- very modern; it worked quickly and quite well. The worst was the bathroom -- tiny and cramped. The people were nice, but the room did NOT have the assistance bars in the bathtub, as were advertised.

    The staff was friendly and very accommodating. They do what they can with what they’re given. I think the problem is the motel owners don’t seem to understand that the customers are what keeps them in business and need to seriously upgrade everything. The pillows are old and flat. The toilet constantly clogs. The room we stayed in was very cramped with two queen beds in it. And the beds were so uncomfortable to sleep on. There was no water pressure when taking a shower. Overall if the owners thought about the customer first then the motel could be so much better.

    This motel offered a budge experience for a budget price. The room was clean, and manager Clint was attentive to our comfort. While the motel is old, it is apparent that efforts have been made to update it. For example, the bathroom was recently retiled and was clean; the exterior is recently painted. The television and bed were not high quality, but I don't feel like I paid for a high quality television and bed. The mattress was comfortable enough. Contrary to other reviewers, I did not feel unsafe, and I did not find the room dirty. The carpet needed a good stretching, but was clean. The most disappointing feature was the wifi, which worked sometimes and didn't work other times. For what I paid, I feel like I got good value with a clean, safe, reasonably comfortable place to sleep.

    The nicest owners you'll ever meet, but the facility really does need major upgrades. Hard to get hot water, sink falling, front door gets stuck, mattress is all coils.
