    A wonderful place to stay

    Front building rooms could be noisy since they're street-facing, but little to no traffic at night, so not a big thing. Breakfast room is on the small side. Breakfast was good but would have preferred plain scrambled eggs rather than the "everything" type. (Maybe that's the regional style?) Spouse felt the bed was too soft and didn't sleep well. Really just minor quibbles -- the place is great!

    Awesome rooms -- clean, comfortable, good size and well-furnished. Essentially a studio apartment; our corner unit had two windows. Office staff was friendly, good senses of humor. Breakfast was filling and had mostly anything you could want (except oatmeal?). Pity we weren't staying longer.

    We always check under the beds before we leave and found an item that we had dropped, but also found a few items that were not ours as well. We let the front desk know just so they would be aware and I’m sure they’ll be doing a better better job check under the beds, so that shouldn’t be a problem. 

    The rooms were very clean, everything worked correctly, the front desk was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was really good with lots of choices. The lady that does breakfast is very nice and smiley, and always refilling things and wiping things down and very present, if we needed anything., but not hovering at all.  Also, the beds were quite comfortable.

    Outside dirty and not kept up. Sweep the walk, maybe new door mats, and a hanging basket or two would increase outside appeal!

    Breakfast! Request for ground level room granted. Beds. Customer service by gal at check-in very good!

    It's nice and cool at night and I would have liked the fan to blow fresh air from outside into the room at a lower speed than was offered in the window unit.

    There was a memory foam mattress topper that made the bed really comfortable. The room was updated and really clean. The breakfast area was well stocked and clean.

    I am at a loss for anything to have a whinge about.

    A clean and comfortable room with a good bathroom, great water pressure, and well-lit, but good blinds to block outdoor light, fantastic (not too noisy) A/C for a warm night, parking right outside, close to "downtown", friendly and helpful (and hardworking, it seems) reception staff, a really good "free" brekky with enough choice for a picky eater, and walls not too thin that you can hear a sparrow fart before dawn. Bonus: the nearby (.6 mile walk) Honky Tonk Saloon is not just a local watering hole with cold beer, a fine wine selection, and tasty cocktails, but also offers a great menu and some really decent people running it. Maryhill Stonehenge and the accompanying museum are only 12 miles south off Highway 97.

    Room was very clean, comfortable and quiet. Sometimes motels look worn out but the management at this motel take good care of the property and provide an excellent breakfast as well. We will come back again to view the largest public telescope in the US which is nearby. Excellent value.

    Room temperature seemed a little off. We had the thermostat set to 68 but it seemed much colder than that when we woke up.

    Very clean. Bathroom was much larger than many in similarly priced motels. Breakfast eggs were tastier than the usual bland scrambled eggs offered at a motel breakfast. Staff was friendly as well.
