27 May 2026It 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.

3 Jul 2026If you're looking for a nice and convenient place to stay, this is the place. Cozy place and within walking distance to a nice restaurant/brewery. I tried to get a room for my return trip back home and they were already booked up. Parking was a little tight but doable.

26 Jun 2026Very clean and many nice touches. My one and only complaint was that the bed was not the most comfortable and it felt a bit like the foot of the bed was a smidge higher than the head. Didn't really sleep well because of that. Might just be the particular room we were in.

8 Jun 2026This was no Ritz Carlton, nor would I stay at one, but what this place was…comfortable and homey. Best nights sleep in a motel/hotel ever! Staff was friendly and there’s a spot for you to hang out by the fire with your dog while smoking some meat on the Traeger! I’ll definitely be back..next time with my doggo!

3 May 2026Neat little place and very clean. These kids are doing a great job revamping this motel. If you have a large rig or pickup the parking might be difficult. Great stay for an inexpensive room.

30 Apr 2026The rooms were quaint, old fashioned and cute. The rooms had coffee, microwave, fridge and wi-fi. The walls were a little thin and a funny smell in the lobby.

12 May 2026Friendly, available staff. A little noisy up to quiet hour, but pin-droppy after that (10pm). The room was clean and smelled fresh. Parking is a little awkward.

10 Jun 2026The John Day Motel doesn’t pretend to be anything more than it is: a friendly, reasonably priced place to stay staffed by very nice people. It’s an older facility but well kept. After a long day of driving we were in need of a good shower and a comfortable bed - we found both at the John Day Motel!
Little things like the bottles of water and snack basket in the room along with ear plugs if it got too noisy (it didn’t!) just added to the charm of the place. It’s also a short walk to several restaurants and other shops.
We will definitely stay here again when our travels take us to that area. Only 13 rooms so making a reservation is probably a good idea!
