This Motel was obviously built in the 50s according to the bathtub and other items that reflect that era that Tub was very large though, and the shower was the shower. I looked for all my life, except it was a little bit more stinging then I would prefer. I’ve never had a shower that actually had any pressure that I recall other than this one so, “kudos!” the nice lady at the front desk was an angel and you’ll think of your grandmother when you check in. It was a pleasure! Bed👍

The bed was uncomfortable, with the wood base sticking out from the wore out mattress. The pillows were flat and old as were the towels. They haven’t had breakfast since Covid in 2020. The worse part was there were ants on all the furniture and I came away with flea bites this morning.
Even the parking lot was wore out with potholes. Not worth the $100 plus!

The smoke alarm went off just after midnight and again around 6AM. There was no obvious smoke and the building was not on fire. I believe that maintenance of the air filter in the heat pump had been ignored, leading to particulates escaping from the filter and subsequently triggering the smoke alarm. Office staff proved unable to deal with this issue in a timely manner.

This is an old motel that has been updated. It is very quaint and quiet. My wife and I stayed here for one night while visiting friends. The room was small but clean. The bed was very comfortable. It was just what we needed for the night. My only issue is that the listing shows this property to be pet friendly and does not state if there is a fee or not. Upon arrival, we were advised there is a $25 pet fee. It would have been nice to know this in advance instead of having it sprung on us upon arrival.

While the property looks a little outdated, this is one of the best places I've stayed in.
First, the staff are very pleasant. Second the room was very clean.
Now the best part. The shower had wonderful water pressure. I mean watch sensitive parts kind of water pressure. The water was hot. I mean hot. And best of all there is a light in the shower. I could actually see to shave my legs. Truly a great shower all around.
My only complaint was the pillows, not the best. Not a big deal.

The staff member who I checked in with was friendly and helpful. The property location is a bit away from downtown and the freeway, but is still next to a smaller highway, and occasionally louder vehicle engines were audible from inside the room. It is in a residential neighborhood, though right next to a gas station. I could hear louder sounds and showers in adjacent rooms. Although, there was a full moon on the night of my stay, and there was a beautiful view of it from my room. It was well-cleaned and comfortable.

Bait and switch

I had stayed in this motel before, and knew it was an older hotel. It was reasonable clean, with clean sheets and soft towels. But the wi-fi was AWFUL and in the four days I was there, three of them they didn't clean the room. I got ants into my trash can. I was also very dismayed at an additional, per-day-charge, for my dog because I had selected pet friendly on the reservation. For the additional $25 I would have taken my business to a better place.

It wasn't horrible. But honestly I realized it's better to pay a little more for more comfort! The bed was so hard and uncomfortable! I could've just slept on the floor and it wouldn't have made a difference! I woke up so sore and it was just awful! The office was closed when we arrived because it was so late but it was also closed when we went to check out in the morning so I couldn't even talk to the staff so I have no clue how friendly they are or aren't and what kind of customer service they provide. Overall I feel that they could at least invest in better mattresses and pillows and it would be ok.

Worst budget motel experience ever!

I have only ever written one other hotel/motel review, and I've traveled extensively, but this was the worst night of \"sleep\" ever and warrants warning people.

Pros:
The desk agent was very friendly.

For being such an old and not updated building, the room was very clean. Linens were soft!

There's a mini-fridge (didn't try it) and microwave.

Cons:
Sketchy location. The back row of rooms faces a bank of bushes and is very dark.

There are no vending machine on the property, and the tap water is gross. Chevron next door closes at 11pm. I was directed to vending machines at the motel down the street that was even more dark and creepy.

We were in room 28. The mattress closest to the door literally sank in half when I sat on it! It was like a leaking airbed. The other mattress sank some but not as bad. I had to move my kids who were already sleeping onto the other mattress, since they weigh less.

It was 40 degrees and rainy, so I turned on the baseboard heater. It's a dial without any markings other than off and on. At first I thought it wasn't working, but soon heat came blasting out. We all woke up an hour later dripping with sweat. It was like a sauna! I turned it way down and tried to go back to sleep. It didn't get any cooler. Eventually I turned it all the way off, but it still put out heat! By 6am, I plugged in the window a/c unit to the try to offset the heat, but it didn't help.

At bare minimum, being able to sleep is the purpose of a motel. We didn't get that!

Not very impressed

The motel was at the far end of town but quit enough. I didn't feel as safe in that neighborhood at night as in other places I have stayed. The web said free breakfast but on arrival found out that was not true, even though I stayed somewhere else recently where they had a full breakfast. The room was in serious need of upgrading and did not appear to be clean, especially the carpet which needed replaced. Staff were friendly enough on check in and check out.

Booked with this hotel for 2 employees - 10 min after booking plans changed for them and they were no longer stopping in La Grande. Phoned the hotel, lady hung up on me the first time and when I called back she refused to authorize Expedia to refund me for the rooms, reporting her bosses wouldn’t allow it - but also refused to give me a email or phone number to said bosses. As someone who books multiple hotel rooms everyday I would not recommend this hotel solely based on poor service…. I have never had this problem in all my years of booking and changing hotel rooms.

To the hotel- if you have changed your mind and would like to refund my rooms I would gladly retract my review.
