I needed a place to stay unplanned. Saw this place. Reserved it through a 3rd party. Went inside and the staff said it takes 15 minutes for me to show up in their system but tried to point me toward the bar. I declined. I was tired from a long day. I went to my car to wait and lay the front seat back. After waiting I got a room. The AC would not adjust or shut off in the room. I notified staff and they graciously brought me a key to another room. Got to the other room on the third floor of stairs and it smelt like stale sweat. I don’t care. I’m too tired. I go to get under the sheets but the sheets were dirty with short black hair on them like someone had recently got a haircut and not washed off. I lifted the mattress to look for bed bugs. I didn’t see any and decided it was good enough. I was too tired and just went to sleep. The breakfast was fine. Same as any included breakfast at a 2 or 3 star hotel.

The rooftop bar was an awesome way to unwind

Overall we had a nice, cozy stay at the Yurtel. We needed to book last-minute accomodations for a football game in Eugene and this was a safe, affordable place to stay not absurdly far away. Our yurt was warm and comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was excellent. Our only complaint is the road and neighborhood noise. It should go without saying that you're going to hear outside noise if you're staying in a yurt, but the noise from the nearby highway was quite loud. We also could hear party noise from the neighborhood behind the Yurtel, and apparently folks in Veneta like to set off fireworks for Halloween, so we heard that, too. Thankfully, most of the noise subsided before it was too late and our sleep wasn't disturbed, but it might be nice for the management to include ear plugs in their list of amenities (and maybe eye masks, since early morning light does come in from the skylight at the top of the yurt.) Still, if you're looking for a quirky, affordable place to stay in the area, this would be a good choice.

Great location. Near restaurants and campus.
