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.

Location by a gas station made me feel unsafe and it was noisy. The top latch on the door was broken so I felt unsafe. The sink in the bathroom backed up with water. Very old and outdated inn.

Only hotel I've been in for a while that I intentionally chose not to take a shower. The room was clean, but the TV screen was smaller than the screen on my phone.

A Hot Night in La Grande
The motel was very old and tired and the beds showed that in spades. Also, it burned to the ground the night we stayed there. We were lucky to get our 2 cats out before our room went up.

Motel was Closed
We arrived at the location to find the office closed and the motel uninhabited. Tried to call the telephone number listed, a recording stated that the number was temporarily out of order or disconnected. We ended up staying at a different hotel in town.

This was a basic clean hotel. It was close to the street so you could hear traffic but we didn’t mind that. We’d stay there again.

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.

Awful Awful
This property is a old style motel with 1950 a tiny window ac/heater in the window. The is not an outlet in the bathroom besides the one on the tiny 40 watt wall light that I couldn’t reach. No blow dryer provided. No mention when checking in that room had no blow dryer. The blanket & bedspread was paper thin. The carpet had a strange smell. The bathroom pink tile & tub was held together with nasty dirty caulk. The worst was the toilet had a sanitized band, but had pee & toilet paper in it.

As in other reviews, this is an older hotel. The woman who checked us in was was very nice and joined us in joking back and forth. She saw the size of our truck and changed our room assignment to make parking easier for us. The room was very clean, cleaner than some more modern facilities in which we've stayed.

Just a place to sleep
The hotel was ok, it was clean, bed was comfortable. I know I wasn't staying at a Hilton so my expectations weren't very hi. The only bummer was that the website advertised breakfast but there was none because if covid. Overall good place if you're just looking for a place to sleep.

This is a great little motel, competes well with bigger pricier motels. Attractive, clean room, very firm comfortable bed. All expected amenities, and the bath/shower worked perfectly which I cannot say for the Hampton Inn which I stayed in the previous night! Wish they had their flower tubs filled with happy flowers on street side. That was the only downer.

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.

It was a dump. TV inop, no continental breakfast, building condition was horrible, the pool didn’t look like it had been used or had any water in it for years. Parking was tight, had to park on street. A/C worked but very noisy. On the positive side, water was hot, shower worked. This property is very dated and rundown. Honestly the worst place I’ve ever stayed in. Even worse, I paid $140 for this place. It wasn’t worth even half that!

This is a relic of a bygone era when it was on the main highway and doesn’t appear to have been updated since. It’s ridiculously overpriced but, as they say, any port in a storm. It’s sole saving grace is that Hough’s homemade ice cream store is only two blocks away. Stay for a night if you need to but if you find a better option go for it.

I like this place. But their website and their in-room literature claims a free breakfast. There is no free breakfast. This is false advertising and they need to update their information. I should get a credit.

The woman at the front desk was very nice. The room smelled moldy and terrible. There was a urine trail on the front of the toilet down to the floor. The bedding was stained. The mattress was very uncomfortable. The chairs in the room were fillthy and stained, and they were very unsafe to sit on. There wasnt access to safely plug in even a cell phone charger. The door in the adjacent room was in such disrepair that the tennant had to slam it all night when they cane and went. The outside looked terrible, and they did not lock the trash so people would rumage through it all day
