    People were very friendly, it is a small area so the weekend...

    People were very friendly, it is a small area so the weekend was plenty of time to visit the neighboring smaller towns (Prairie city) The weather was quite warm as expected and it was a long drive from the valley that we enjoyed seeing the country side. Make sure to have your car in good working condition, fill up with gas at every opportunity because there are stretches of drive with no gas options. The hometown feel was my favorite part, smiles and pleasantries everywhere!!

    This is the third time or fourth time that I am rating this...

    This is the third time or fourth time that I am rating this hotel. You need to fix your system. The best feature is the Outpost Restaurant next door. The service was efficient and friendly. The hotel needs some cosmetic repairs, but all was functional.

    The town is tiny but we found two excellent places to eat.

    The town is tiny but we found two excellent places to eat. 1188 Brewing had excellent dinners and beer and the Outpost served amazing breakfasts! The location was a good base for exploring the John Day fossil beds and the Strawberry Mountain wilderness area. Kam Wag Chung Historical site was a bonus-excellent museum detailing Chinese settlement in the area.

    Perfect for outdoorsmen, hunters, fisherman, foragers!

    Perfect for outdoorsmen, hunters, fisherman, foragers! A nice step back in time. Area is rich in in Southeastern Oregon history. Very Educational. Great for getting outside with the kids and enjoy nature. Many activities a car ride away. If you want to slowdown and take a breather, John Day is a nice outlet!

    We were there from out of town on business.

    We were there from out of town on business. Went into a place to eat. On the main drag. The bartender was the only one working. Sure could tell we were not exactly welcome. She did not look too happy when we asked for actual food. Then said we made her feel bad. Good crowd of regulars needed her attention more. Carry on John Day.

    The John Day Motel is an owner operated business and was remodeled some time ago. It is a cozy classic American Motel. The Reception was very friendly and we immediately felt at home. Rooms were very clean and beds comfortable. In the back there is a fireplace and grill so you can relax and go for a BBQ. This place is higly recommended and the price is right. Should we be in the area we will most certainly return to this nice place.

    It is an older motel that's very clean and spacious. It's on the outskirts of John Day and even with the highway near, our room was very quiet. I paid extra in order to have my dog and it was a very good location to be with a pet. The refrigerator was larger than usually seen in motel rooms which came in handy. I liked that there was an actual coffee pot for us to use. The couple running the motel were very nice.

    The location to everything in town was good, beds comfy, staff accommodating. We were in John Day for a wedding. Overall once the issues were taken care of it was fine. The staff were pleasant but unexperienced in managing a motel/customer service. EDUCATION!! lots of programs out there for these type of needs. The motel itself changed names and that could have been a major factor is this mishap.

    THIS WAS EQUAL TO ANY HIGH END MOTEL WE HAVE STAYED AT. VERY CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE ROOMS WITH NICE COMFORTABLE BEDS. THEY WERE RESURFACING THE PARKING AREA AND WE HAD TO PARK ACROSS THE STREET FOR ONE OF THE NIGHTS, BUT THAT WAS NO PROBLEM. THE MANAGER WAS WONDERFUL AND VERY HELPFUL. THE PRICE WAS EXCELLENT. WE HAD TO PAY EXTRA FOR THE PETS, BUT THAT IS EXPECTED EVERYWHERE.

    This is a place we would have liked to stay longer. For a motel room it was incredibly spacious and comfortable, even with a reclining chair. Bathroom was clean, beds were excellent, and we had direct door-access from the parked car to the motel door, which made unloading/loading less stressful. Location was good, bars and restaurants in John Day easily reachable by foot.

    We stayed for two nights. The room was clean and the bed was mostly comfortable. The breakfast was OK, normal hotel breakfast - scrambled eggs, waffles, cereal, toast, pastries, etc.. The location was good though. It is right on the Main street, ready to take you where ever you need to go.

    Gosh, I love finding sweet motels like this one. Off the Main Street, so very quiet. Family owned by a warm, friendly couple. VERY clean - no old musty odors. Beautiful carpeting. A frig with a separate freezer compartment for the ice you’ve been using in your ice chest.

    Very clean, quiet and comfortable rooms. The hotel could use some updating in the rooms and exterior but the housekeeping staff did the best with what they had to work with. Be sure to visit the local museums.

    OUTSTANDING! Great room and even better staff that went above and beyond to find us a room when we found out that our previous hotel was in the process of being gutted and we weren't told.

    It was terrific. Isolated and pretty surroundings yet close to the John Day attractions. There wasn't much the hosts hadn't thought of to make our stay homey and comfortable.

    The person checking me in was cheerful, and the room, unlike many "cheap" motels, smelled clean (no smell of stale smoke).
