Some of the furniture is a bit outdated (towels were a bit thin, and not very plentiful), but was clean. The staff were nice & welcoming, the mattresses were comfortable, and we had everything we needed! Its also in a pretty quiet location with a restaurant/bar and a bowling alley next door.

Check in was available late even though Expedia said it was closed at 6 pm. Got kind of freaked out that we couldn’t contact them from John Day National Monument because of no wireless service there but the couple that runs the motel were amazing! They checked us in when we got there close to 9 pm. They gave us a nice room and personalized service. Loved the experience and would be back again!
