Clean, but too many other issues. Not good value for the money - it was as expensive as any other place we stayed but only about one quarter as pleasant. First of all it's in a so-so area on a very noisy street and the doors and windows open to the street. We couldn't get the key to open the door at first. The front desk guy showed us that you have to pull on the door just so to get the key to work. The room smelled strongly like insecticide - not what you want to smell when entering a motel room. There was a fly in the room so apparently it didn't work. The weirdest thing was that the toilet paper dispenser was about 4 feet from the toilet, so unless your arms are 4 feet long you have to get off the toilet to tear off the paper. The shower temperature settings were reversed - the hot water was where it was marked cold. The complimentary coffee was not in the room, it was in the front office. There was no breakfast apart from teeny tiny plastic-wrapped muffins. We won't stay here again.

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.
