Express Inn & Suites Eugene

Even though I showed up late the staff was very helpful. The rooms were incredibly neat and clean and no bad odors. The heater worked great, the shower was perfect.

An elevator would be nice

Since the pandemic I’ve noticed a decline in the amenities at mid priced motels. I was very happy with my stay at Express Inn & Suites Eugene. At first glance I was concerned. One unit had a boarded up window (I’m sure they are waiting for parts) and there is a sign on the office door to call this number for service. Tonya and her husband live at and manage the facility. Instead of hanging out at the office they are out on the property so your phone call get prompt results. They went above and beyond to accommodate their guest. You can tell that Tonya takes pride in her work. You only need to look at the meticulously maintained flower beds that I’m sure are all Tonya, not part of the franchise motif. The rooms are large and the walls are thick. No street sounds from busy 6th ave could be heard. A concern was the near by train tracks but either the trains don’t run at night or they don’t have to blow their whistles during night time hours because it wasn’t an issue. Most motel internet speeds are barely above dial up (2-3mbs). Express Inn came in at 70mbs so it wasn’t a struggle to load a webpage. Had good enough speed for anything you’d want to do. My main point of interest was UofO’s Hayward field which was a doable 2 mile walk through interesting neighborhoods. There’s plenty of other things around at a shorter walk. It was nice to just park the car at the motel and not have to deal with the Eugene traffic or parking.

Train whistles during the day but fortunately not an issue at night.

Great, affordable place for a place to flop for a night while in town to see a show. Little Feat! Nice less-than-mile walk to lotsa music venues and great restaurants. The Receptionist was very nice and somebody has a very green thumb. Some beautiful flowers on the modest grounds.

"Low-flow" shower head! Bed was a bit hard, but I didn't notice after rocking out for 2.5 hours and the stroll back through town.

Friendly staff

Room only had in room a/c units and they were off on day of check in and it took them about 6 hours to make the room tolerable.
