Top John Day River Hotel Reviews

Columbia River Hotel and Conference Center, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Got into the room and the bathroom door wouldn’t close, because being off its hinges, and the towel holder was all apart and sitting on top of the toilet. Otherwise a very nice stay! 😊"

Celilo Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Love, the fact that when we checked in late after a long day of work, they had wine, beer and food available to purchase. Was able to sit out on the patio on a beautiful evening, looking at the stars. And the snowy Mountain and the distance as well! Enjoy the great breakfast on the patio in the morning. But for a rainy day as they have a nicely appointed dining area with the same view! Our room faced riverfront, and where we’re just very happy with these accommodations."

Hotel Condon

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in was straightforward when we arrived on Friday evening, right at 7 pm. Dorothy, at the hotel front counter, was delightful and made us feel at home. The room was small, with no microwave or refrigerator, but there is a coffee maker in the room. The first thing I realized after I made my reservation, is that there is a Condon Motel and a Hotel Condon. I can't speak for the motel, but the Hotel is from an earlier time, when amenities were more communal. Many reviews said that there wasn't much available in the way of food in the area, so I prepared much of my own, for my husband and I, in the way of sandwiches and microwavable dishes, because there is a microwave and a refrigerator on the 2nd floor. I stored my food in the fridge and retrieved what I needed daily, and it worked out great. In fact, besides the excellent Continental breakfast, there is a restaurant adjacent to the hotel, which appeared to be open for dinner, Friday , Saturday & Sunday and a Powell's Bookstore across the street, advertising some eatables. Also, there's a classic drive-in a couple blocks away with hamburgers, fries and shakes, which is closed on Sundays. The service there was lovely, btw. The room we purchased was small but we didn't need much as we spent most of the weekend exploring the nearby Fossil Beds. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and will happily recommend it to anyone who considers staying there as well."

Three Rivers Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Three Rivers inn in room 32 last night. It was a great suite with separate bedroom and seating area. Everything you need, fridge, coffee machine and fab Wi-Fi. For the area, the traffic noise was minimal. Great price, comfy, spacious and tasty coffee in reception. Thanks again 10/10"

Motel 6 The Dalles, OR

6/10 Okay

"Air didn’t work well, overall the place needs attention. A little paint doesn’t fix the underlying issues. I have traveled doing work on such places bringing them back up to standards and this one needs someone that does that work. I would get them straightened out while reaching the maintenance staff how to stay on top of things"

Arlington inn

4/10 Poor

"This is not a place you would want to stay for more than one night. We put our crew up in this hotel for three nights for a local job and nobody was happy. They advertise a breakfast available, but each day our crew went to the “breakfast” area they were greeted by no more than 5 honeybun packaged pastries and some carafes of juices. The bathrooms and showers were not well cleaned, hot water was inconsistent, and there was no soap, shampoo, or conditioner provided. Only hand soap in a dispenser in the sink area. One of our employees had a hole in the floor of his bathroom. The water coming the taps smelled strongly of sulfur. This place would be fine if you were desperate for a place to sleep for a night, but not appropriate for a hard working crew or families."
