The Express Inn is only a few years old, the property is small, neat and clean, with flowers planted where they can. It is a basic travelers hotel, with a small office check in area. The rooms are a decent size and very clean. My only problem was the area had quite a few folks wandering around who didn't seem to have jobs. This concerned me a bit, until we talked with some ladies in the shops downtown who assured us that they might ask for some spare change (and we did get one very polite request) but wouldn't cause any problems. They were right. Tho I probably wouldn't wander around at night here, everything worked out well. There are quite a few small motels in this neighborhood, this seems to be hotel row for Eugene.

Other reviews are correct when they say that the property is newer-- 2 - 3 years old. Our room was larger than a standard room but far from a "suite." One bed had several questionable stains on the blanket and when we requested extra blankets they had none without stripping a bed in another room. They washed the dirty bedding and returned it to us. The air conditioner smelled of urine when turned to vent, but the ac worked. The 6th street people traffic are shady/scary. We were unable to find name brand stores/resturants close. I would NOT stay here again.

This hotel was a great place to stay In Eugene. Very close and convenient to various markets and also great service. The rooms were big and comfy and they had extra towels and clean bedsheets. The other reviewers were correct. Even though this hotel was not the cheapest($54/night), I felt it was worth every penny.

So thankful we found a great clean place to stay as we will be returning regularly to relocate to the area. I called the hotel directly and saved about $8/night over the Expedia site quote (approx $65). This hotel is approximately 1 year old, so the room, fixtures, bedding, tv, etc. are all in immaculate condition. Most are non-smoking rooms; it is a 2 story, L-shaped property. The bathroom has a sink with large granite vanity outside of the separate granite shower/bathtub commode room which works well for multiple people to get ready. There are clean tile floors in the bathroom and closet area, which also holds a good size refrigerator and microwave. There is an ironing board stowed in the closet. There is a writing desk, loveseat with large coffee table, and controllable hvac; the hvac system does not however allow the fan to recirculate the inside air. The bedding was so-o-o-o soft, and there were adequate pillows and blankets for our 2 queen beds. There was even WIRELESS HIGH SPEED INTERNET included. There are wheelchair accessible rooms only on the 1st floor. No elevator, just wide well-lit stairs lead to the 2nd floor rooms.The parking spaces are large, so it's easy to pack and load luggage & family. They have a small lobby with coffee, muffins, fresh fruit and cookies from 7am-10am; guest laundry, fax/copy service & pet friendly. There was a constant stream of traffic on 6th Street, but it sounded more like water swooshing. We only had one train conductor lay on his horn regularly about 6 am, so we considered it a wake-up call. Within walking distance, we found a good chinese place called Jade Palace, but our favorite place is the 6th Street Grill; we will be regulars there for their weeknight specials and breakfasts. Definitely on my recommend list.
