John Day Motel

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The motel is close to the downtown area and its shops and restaurants. This facility is a good value for the price. The room was clean and comfortable. It is only a short walk to the Cam Wah Chung State Heritage Site and Visitor Center, and well worth the visit.

Love this place. It is always immaculately clean and has very comfy beds. It is quiet and well kept. The rooms are large and have a good sized fridge and microwave. The TV has DirecTV and also strong WiFi. It is an easy walk to the downtown and all the restaurants and bars. Nice to be so close to some really good dinners and breakfasts! They have really good coffee in the morning and little pastries to get you started. The owner, Niki always takes great care of us and her new manager is a true gem! We all look forward to our next visit!!!!

I do not even know where to start. Read a lot of reviews prior to booking. I did notice a number of fairly recent reviews, but it seemed like a number were coming a specific "group" of people. Also when I check reviews I try and look at where the people are coming from and what their social status in life is. For me, all I was looking for was a clean place to sleep overnight. Only amenities I was interested was a bed and shower. After checking prices, I was set on this place. Instead of using a booking service, I choose to deal directly with the facility. The owner answered the phone, but was out shopping LOL and promised to return my call in about 15 minutes. After 10 minutes she called back. Bright cheerful voice. Told her what I needed and when and it was pain free. Got to the location and was met by the owner. Friendly and helpful. The room was very clean with no odors, furniture modern and the beds were GREAT. The bathroom was clean enough to eat off of. The owner suggested a couple of places to eat and we were happy with her choices. Since all the rooms were reserved, the owners had made sure that all the rooms air conditioners had been switched on. A couple of the people staying were headed to a motorcycle event so were outside comparing bikes, etc. and having a smoke. By 7 they were done and we heard next to nothing the rest of the night. This was the least expensive place in the entire town. Unless the owners switch, we will stay here EVERYTIME we go through. Thank you to the owners for a wonderful time.

Authentically mom and pop style motel. Room was very clean with bath, fridge, and microwave. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was coffee and granola bars, enough to get you up and away. Only negative is noise transfers readily between rooms, could hear coughing at 4am. Not a huge issue as it was overall quiet. Would rather stay here than yet another chain shoebox!

Came in on two motorcycles while making a tour of Oregon. Room was wicked clean, bed very comfortable. Expected some street noise but that didn't happen. Steve was a great host. And the price was very good. Walking distance to eateries and stores. Would definitely stay here again!

Better than your average motel experience. More modern and well maintained. Spacious room, includes table and chairs, fridge and microwave. Comfortable bed. Decent towels. Very friendly and helpful manager on Main zstreet but still reasonably quiet.. Only downside was no coffee making facility in room but available in reception with prepackaged pastries from 7am.
