Quality hotel with everything we needed!

The Best Western in John Day was great. The exercise equipment worked well. The breakfast was tasty (we had biscuits and gravy, and eggs). The room was clean and orderly. The staff was friendly and courteous. We also enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub! The hotel is located centrally in downtown, and there are restaurants within walking distance.

Walkable area.

Pet friendly place in rural Oregon. Stayed after doing the Hells Canyon Scenic ByWay. Walking distance to parks and restaurants. Nice to be able to walk after a day in the car. Parking lot is a bit tight, but not a big problem.

I stayed here for one night Sept 2024. The room was dated but clean and quiet. Breakfast didn’t look very appetizing so I skipped it. I felt it was the best choice after the poor reviews at other places in this town. I wasn’t disappointed.

Terrible experience.

Two of three staircases to the second floor were closed forcing us to walk all the way around the building with our luggage. Once in our room the bathroom was pretty dirty. Caulking over caulking looked sloppy. Only one pair of towels. The room faced east and the curtains were bare minimum efforts to keep the sun out. This was not a $250 per night experience. Breakfast in the morning was hard as a rock and looked like prison slop.

It was clean and the staff was extremely helpful. The bed was a bit uncomfortable. Extremely firm. Even my husband, who likes the firm mattress, woke up with a sore back.
