A lot of hotels advertise themselves as the “best” hotel in the area—but what does that mean exactly? The best hotel? For who? We’ll make our case—and if what we’re offering fits with what you’re looking for—well, then—come try us out!
Founded by Tex Braatz, an avid outdoorsman and explorer, our family-owned hotel has tried to connect the generations through the same spirit of adventure that Tex cherished. His passion for the great outdoors and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest is reflected in The Maverick, and we encourage our guests to try new experiences, take a hike, drink a local brew and then relax around the campfire at the end of a long day.
Our newly renovated hotel is situated in the heart of Eugene, making it an ideal base for exploring the downtown area, the prestigious University of Oregon, and the award-winning breweries and wineries that the region is famous for. Whether you’re visiting for a family vacation, a university event, or a weekend getaway, the Maverick Hotel is designed to meet all your needs.
Explore Downtown Eugene
One of the highlights of staying at The Maverick is the easy access to downtown. Just a short walk from our doors, you’ll find a plethora of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Stroll through the local farmers' market, where you can sample fresh produce and artisanal goods, or visit the many art galleries that showcase the work of local artists. The vibrant atmosphere of downtown Eugene is perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
Proximity to the University of Oregon
For those visiting the University of Oregon, the Maverick Hotel is the ideal choice. Our location allows you to easily attend events—Hayward Field, Matthew Knight Arena, Autzen Stadium, the Jordan Schnitzer Art Museum—and more. The university is known for its beautiful architecture and lush green spaces, making it a lovely place to spend an afternoon.
