My son, a friend of his, and myself stayed here for a weekend while playing in a golf tournament. I booked the two-night stay getting the advanced pay rate of $148 for the two nights which included tax. On reason we had booked this hotel was because of the pool and hot tub they have which we thought would be... More

This place isn't realy awful, but it lacks a lot of the things you take for granted at a real hotel. The light over the sink in my room would only work at night (figure that out!), and the plumbing was hooked up backwards there so until you figure that out you get lukewarm water when you're expecting cold. If... More

This motel was horrendous. The trucks, vans and pickups began to arrive late in the afternoon until they had filled the carpark. Then all became clear. This was a truckstop and not really a tourist motel. The room was poor for the price paid. It was dirty and the microwave and fridge were broken. There was no sign of breakfast... More

After a poor experience staying in Mt. Vernon, we were relieved to get a room here just before the big BMW motorcycle rally came into town. It was mid-week and the lounge abutting the parking lot seemed closed, so late-night noise really wasn't an issue. Good location, almost in the center of town. The room was clean and a coffee...

Just traveling through John Day, needed a place to sleep for the night. All we ask for in a motel is quiet with a decent bed, we don't care about extra amenities such as fridges, microwaves, or even a TV. Nothing was wrong with the actual room, it was average. It's just that it appears to be located next to... More

We stayed here for 4 nights as part of a large group (motorcycle rally). The reservations process was excellent and attentive. The refrigerator and microwave in the room are very convenient. The rooms are basically clean but there was big patch of mold in the bathroom. Overall, the hotel is outdated, but OK if you're not doing anything but sleeping... More

Clean Budget motel. Had microwave, refrigerator in the room. I didn't want to spend too much on a room at the Best Western, but I didn't want to spend too little at the Dreamer's Lodge. I stay in John Day often and would recommend this hotel. Call the hotel directly to get a better rate.
