It looks like your average side of the freeway hotel but it was very clean, comfortable and in a great central location. There were snacks and coffee available in the room for free which was awesome! We would definitely stay there again!

Room was clean and comfortable. Only complaint was noise, but given the proximity of rooms to the parking lot and highway, noise is unavoidable.

It was a cute little place with little extra amenities we didnt expect in the room. They had donuts and water waiting for us. Check in was fast and the attendent was very nice. We had an error with our reservations but he was so calm and didnt use fault. Just very nonchalant. He even happily brought us some extra towels. We had not complaints about the service, amenities, or our room. We didnt really care for the sharp narrow entry into the motel but it worked and was very private.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The office where you checked in, smells like dog. When we checked into our room it appeared to be clean. The sheets on the bed were clean, but there was mold on the shower curtain and hair in the bathroom. The next morning, we found a camera glued to the top of the TV. Who knows if it was recording, but it is disturbing and a violation of privacy. Do not stay here

The hotel was great! You wouldn’t expect so pulling up but they folded their towels neatly and had a work table with chairs that I could put my laptop on as well as enough plug ins. There was a Keurig and snacks that were great. The WiFi was super efficient.

This was the low budget option in John day for me and I was very pleased. The room was clean. There were coffee supplies plus water plus snacks. The location is right down the street from a good restaurant so I was able to walk there and didn’t have to sort out parking 10 out of 10.
