Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The curb appeal of the motel is not inviting. However, once inside the room, my concerns went away. It was just fine and consequently so was our stay.

Scary place on the outside

This place looked run down and scary. However the room was updated and relatively nice. The carpet was dirty - I wore shoes. The bathroom was large and clean and the mirror was nice, but the bathtub had several knicks around the rim - not sure what caused them. The bed was decent and the TV was large and there was a fridge and a microwave and a Keurig. They are clearly making an effort to improve the place.

Convenient motel, great staff.

This is a motel so not the most luxurious but functional and convenient. The staff was very helpful and nice. We had issues with our tv and they were very attentive about getting it fixed. The room had a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and hair dryer and we used them all.

Better than it looks

The outside of the place is frightful, as is the town as a whole. However, I slept like a baby in a comfy bed in a clean room. I'm dismayed at how much they charge for the place, but it's Capitalism at its best.

We stayed two nights in John Day, first night we stayed at Best Western. Big mistake it cost us $$$ more and we had issues; couldn't get hooked up to the internet, the coffee maker in the room didn't work, and the shower was more like a sand blaster than a shower. I didn't need any soap, due to loosing a layer of skin! Save yourself $$$ and a big hassle and stay at the Sunset... You can buy a pretty nice breakfast for $$$ you will save.

Average but costly

The property is in need of an overhaul. Pretty messy paint cover-up jobs. However it was generally clean and quiet. We felt it was too expensive.

Bed comfy as advertised. When I first arrived, smell of cleaning products very strong. Delightful and helpful staff rinsed floor to help soften smell and opened windows. Helped a lot. I could have arrived just after cleaning too. Only real complaint is typical of most places like this: weak WiFi
