Hotels near John Day River

"Cousins' was way better than it had any right to be. Yes, this is a basic motel, but it's a cut above the chains. Convenient location, affordable, and nice rooms with refrigerator, microwave, comfortable beds. The little things they chose made a big difference to our family road trip vacation: Comfy beds, quality coffee in the lobby refreshed throughout the day (and cookies, if you like that!). Pendleton blankets on the beds. Actual coffee mugs, Portland Roasting coffee, glass not plastic for water, that sort of thing. Shower not tiny and decent showerhead mounted up high, great not to have the water in the middle of my chest, ha! Instead of "free continental breakfast" you get a coupon to the really cool diner restaurant onsite, traditional breakfast foods, also to-go bakery with huge cinnamon rolls, etc. No one will leave hungry! Saloon bar for the grownups, not open super late, not rowdy. Outdoor pool, covered hot tub, even some little toys for the kids; only 7 of 10 for clean and I got the sense some locals not staying at the hotel were "allowed" there, made it kind of crowded and not as family-friendly as the rest of property. Downsides: A/C VERY noisy. Suggest earplugs. Not a lot of soundproofing. loud kids running upstairs etc. We had kids too so can't complain much. Would not make a great business / working hotel: Wifi so-so, limited outlets, no desk, only 1 wall lamp for the whole room. Didn't impact us. Would return when in the area again! "

"We love this beautiful hotel, it’s our favorite place to go. Unfortunately it is not as clean as it used to be. The carpet in our room was filthy. The wicker bench at the foot of the bed was in very poor condition and needs to go to the dump. "
