Axel's take: 8.1/10
A strong campus base with friendly service, good breakfast and some dated rooms. A practical 3-star, motel-style hotel across from the University of Oregon, scored for what it is.
Best Western New Oregon is a practical 3-star, motel-style hotel whose biggest advantage is being across from the University of Oregon. It's a strong pick for campus visits and Hayward Field events, rather than a hotel you'll choose for its design. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise helpful staff, clean rooms and comfortable beds. Complimentary breakfast and parking, plus an indoor pool, sauna and gym, make it good bang for your buck.
The main compromise is uneven room condition: some recent guests still describe dated interiors, and an August 2026 Tripadvisor review flags noisy air-conditioning and bathroom ventilation. That isn't the dominant guest experience, but light sleepers should ask about quieter rooms. There is no elevator, so confirm a ground-floor room if stairs are a problem. We'd skip it if you want polished contemporary interiors or a downtown doorstep.
