Hotels in John Day, OR

“I travel often for work and usually stay at Best Western, but I thought the price for this area was wild and saw other people reviewing this motel said they came here for the same reason. Pleasantly surprised to find the room is very clean, spacious, and with great amenities. The front desk person was very warm and welcoming. I will absolutely stay here again next time I'm in the area.”

“It was a good stay, the place I usually stay was full. Tried this place for a night and found it clean, friendly and central location. Good place to stay in John Day.”

“This hotel absolutely saved our peace of mind on an otherwise perilous drive. I-84 was closed from Pendleton to Ontario. The authorities had no established detour route and wouldn’t even communicate the reason for the closure (was the road washed out, buried in a landslide or just snowed over? Are we talking an overnight closure or many days to weeks?) Not wanting to find out, we diverted south on US-395 and stopped in John Day intending to take a rest stop around 8:30p fully intending to spend the night in Ontario. As we ate dinner, Google maps kept increasing the time adding hour after hour until we wouldn’t make it until 1-2am.

Exhausted, we called the Best Western and Megan answered. She was so helpful and empathetic, offered us a room with a discount (which was very much appreciated as we hadn’t planned/budgeted for this stop.) Hotel amenities were updated and clean. Breakfast was fresh and had a large variety of hot and cold options.

Great for those who prefer a firm mattress. Fridge and microwave are available in room. Water pressure was high with plenty of hot water. Parking is plentiful, with a larger lot for trailers. Dogs are allowed and there are safe routes with sidewalks around the neighborhood nearby.”
