Staff were pleasant. The room was clean. Unfortunately, the in room heating unit would loudly crackle, snap and thump when it was on. This made for a very bad night’s sleep. A staff member stood by our vehicle as we were loading out and smoked a cigarette, sharing her second hand smoke with us and our cat-not cool.

This is a sweet motel in the heart of John Day. While it is an older design-it is a very pleasant place to stay in a rural part of Oregon. We found good food at the Outpost Pizza adjacent to the inn. It served delicious pizza. The bar tender was personable and made our dinner fun.
