This place looked a bit shady at first site, but the inside was very nicely decorated and clean! The welcome water and snacks were a great added bonus! The motel is walkable to a few restaurants as well. Good stay for one night!

It 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.

If 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.

Very 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.

Great place to stay with a nice upper hangout area with green grass, corn hole, picnic table and a fire pit. Staff was very friendly and accommodating and the rooms were all newly remodeled and very clean and comfortable.

This 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!

Neat 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.
Verified review

The 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.
Verified review

Friendly, 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.

10/10 Exceptional

The 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!

6/10 Good

Think of a poorly remodeled old Motel 6 with thin walls and you have a pretty good description of the motel. The room does come with earplugs, but that did not help with the walking noises in the room above me, conversations in other rooms, and a noisy motorcycle and truck in the early morning.
