Facility Overview
The parking facility at 3443 Hutton Street serves as the dedicated on-site surface parking lot for the Courtyard by Marriott Eugene Springfield. Positioned just off Interstate 5 and Beltline Highway in the Gateway district of Springfield, Oregon, this spacious open-air lot accommodates approximately 120 standard vehicles across paved, well-maintained surface bays. Because it is an unobstructed, grade-level outdoor parking lot, there are no vertical clearance height restrictions or overhead barriers, making it an excellent parking choice for high-profile vehicles such as pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, passenger vans, roof-rack equipped crossovers, and work fleet vehicles that cannot enter low-clearance downtown garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Conveniently situated in northern Springfield right across the river from Eugene, this location is an exceptional staging ground for both business travelers and visitors heading into the Eugene-Springfield metro area. The lot provides immediate proximity to numerous regional destinations and attractions:

Visitor & Driver Tips
When navigating to the lot, enter via Hutton Street just east of Gateway Boulevard for the most direct route into the property. Although the surface lot provides ample parking capacity, spaces can fill up during major university athletic weekends (such as Ducks home football games and track championships) or large local medical conferences. Non-hotel guests attending events or visiting guests should verify short-term parking policies with the front desk. For fast departures back onto Interstate 5 North or South, plan your exit onto Kruse Way to merge directly onto the freeway interchange without navigating local commercial traffic.
