John Day River

Friendly staff and the room and amenities were as described.

From the outside, the place looks a bit sketchy, but once we opened the door to our room, I was pleasantly surprised. The room was nice and clean. The issue was the air conditioner. It would NOT cool down the room, it was very hot in there last night. However, considering the Best Western was $150 more, totally worth it.

It’s about 2 steps above an hourly motel. Most of the occupants looked like individuals just getting by… with all their belongings in their vehicles and in front of the motel doors. I had to sign additional forms regarding deep fat fryers, cooking supplies, pets and daily inspections. The room we stayed in was just renovated and was nice and comfortable but they were out of soap so they gave us shampoo to wash our hands. They tried…and everything else was sold out in the area because of graduation from the university which is why we were in the area.
