This appears to be an older property that predates today’s version of a Holiday Inn Express. I surmised that from the crowded parking lot, the lack of an elevator, and the tiny little bathroom. The usual accouterments are present including the signature breakfast bar, wireless Internet, morning newspaper, etc. The limited number of tables in the breakfast area didn’t matter since I was the only one eating at 8:00 a.m. I saw a few guests loading up some breakfast trays, but I’m not sure how comfortable that is with only a coffee table back in the room.
The indoor pool, spa, and exercise room are nice and probably a later addition to the original building. Although the motel was dated, the room was in good condition, clean, and with plenty of room to accommodate a couch, microwave and refrigerator. I especially liked the new desk chair with vertical adjustment and the electric outlets located above the work area for easy access. This is the second time this week I’ve noticed the lack of a traditional bedspread, which is okay by me. Knowing that hotels rarely wash the heavy bed covers it seemed cleaner and more sanitary.
This location fit my travel plans, but in the future I would probably choose the Holiday Inn Express in Roseburg that is a superior hotel at the same price, or maybe stay in nearby Eugene. There isn’t a lot of choice in Cottage Grove.
