Check in was easy, room was clean, simple but adequate. The odd thing was the requirement for a cash only deposit, made things kind of questionable, but we did get the deposit back on check out. Otherwise, it's a fine no-rills hotel.

Decent Motel. Due to weather we spent more time in the room than expected… A refundable CASH only deposit with no change option was a bit annoying. Had a $100 bill that had to go to bar to get change…

I would like to request a refund. We had spoke to the front desk about a super late check in time. And when we arrived we never got let into our room. The front office had an open sign but nobody was around to ever help us out. We had to sleep in our car. We booked this place due to a big family party we had nearby so they mew we would be checking in late. But that wasn’t the case for us. We called multiple times and never received a call back or an answer.

Kind of a scary place! Needs to be updated, though they have tried with the throw pillows. Second floor balconey looked like it is in its last days. Office is tiny. Requires $60 cash only deposit which I'm sure was in the email I didn't read. My husband had to go to the ATM in an even scarier lounge next door. Then the office person checked our room before we left. A room in St. Helens is hard to get in October so we were thankful there was an opening, but we wont stay here again. I will say that both staff people we spoke with were friendly and helpful.

The staff at check in , were SO accommodating and pleasant. Parking was easy and free - right out front. They had just cleaned the room, so I could see the floor had been done and it smelled nice. But, the condition of the bathroom was less than ideal… I didn’t want to shower there. There was a fly in our room and a few dead and alive ants…. Not a lot of them but enough. The bed looked nice, but only two flat pillows - so I may advise to bring your own. We honestly didn’t want to stay the night, so drove home.

To begin with I reserved a room 22 days before, I drove over 300 miles to get there for a family reunion. I got in town about 8:30 am not being able to get my room until 3:00pm, at about 12:30 pm the OYO hotel called me and informed me that they had overbooked the day before and I would not have a room. I called every motel in the area and they were all booked up, so I drove to the OYO hotel and talked to the man that had called me, all he could say was so sorry for your inconvenience, so I told him you better not charge my card as I wasn’t able to check in, well guess what they charged my card anyway as a no show. Now I’m setting here waiting for 12 to 14 days for them to put the money back in my account. So in my opinion I would never recommend anyone ever booking a room at this OYO hotel or any of their Hotels, unless you like sleeping in your car and waiting for their company to give your money back in two weeks or more. I wish I would have read the reviews before I had booked the room because after the fact and reading them now I would never have booked to begin with.
