I have to admit I was a little skeptical at first going staying here. But, I have to admit they exceeded my expectations. I've stayed at a lot of hotels due to my job and this one competes with some of the big chains. It is nicely decorated with granite counter tops. The beds are amazing! The bedding was nice... More

This is the only place to stay in John Day in my opinion. It was very clean for being somewhat dated, the beds were comfortable and the shower never went cold in the morning even though the hotel was completely full. Parking is a bit cramped as the spaces are narrow and limited. We had to make a last minute... More

This hotel appears to be the nicest hotel in town. It was an average room with average accommodations. It was $100. A night which I found to be a little steep for a midweek room of that quality. The other hotels in town also appear to average but at half the price.

Arrived at the BW about 5 p.m. & were told there were only 4 rooms left. Desk clerk said they are always very busy, so if you know this is where you want to stay, might be best to call ahead. We travelled through NE, COLO, UT, ID & OR over a 2 week period & this motel was the... More

We just spent 2 days here while exploring the John Day Fossil Beds. The beds are very comfortable with a pillow top. The staff is very nice. Like all of the hotels in John Day, this one also has exterior doors, so if you want to sleep in and people are leaving early from the parking just outside the door...it... More

I choose chains because I earn points and there is someone at 'corporate' to complain to when things go sideways. This stay was great, as all my stays are at BW. The pool and hot tub are clean and well maintained. The staff was nice and actually kind of funny, even after my eight hours of "Are we there yet?"... More

We went to John Day for the annual swim meet. The Best Western is a 2 minute walk to the pool. Our room was clean, modern, well-appointed, and looks like it was remodeled in the last year or two. It had a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, iron and ironing board and hair dryer. There are coin-operated laundry facilities on site,... More

This is a new hotel and is well kept. We pulled into town after midnight and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Clean, fresh rooms were a welcome sight after traveling all day. I did downgrade the overall experience due to the cramped quarters for the continental breakfast. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.
