The plus for the Indian Lodge Motel is its location, which allows for exploring Joseph on foot. That said, it is very over priced for the very basic rooms they offer. As other reviewers have noted, they also have a tendency to just close the office without notice, sometimes for large stretches of time. A place to avoid unless (like... More

Goodness... I can easily imagine what kind of motel this is before a stay... just called to make a reservation and some rude lady picked up my call. Apparently, they don't like international clients who have accent. Whenever she couldn't come up with good excuses (after telling something not even making no sense), all she said is "I don't understand... More

After a long drive, we could hardly wait to get to our motel. We had reservations. We arrived only to find that it was closed! Office closed...and only a answering machine with no return call. We also called the emergency number on the door and still no return call.....EVER!! Imagine being out in the cold and snow all day long... More

This was a really lovely stay. The lady on the desk was friendly and helpful and we chatted often. The town is very friendly and welcoming and beautiful with flowers and statues everywhere. The motel is within walking distance of several good restaurants and shops. Our room was well provided with storage space, we had a comfortable bed and a... More

Booked at very short notice when visiting Hells Canyon. Checked in early but this did not present a problem. Seemed a little pricey but in a tourist area. Nothing fancy, but very clean room with king size bed and fridge, which was more than adequate for a one night stopover. Close to town for restaurants and only 10 minutes drive... More

This was a very nice room, very basic, fridge, king size bed, close walking to resturants, a little pricey, but it is a tourist town, we drove to wallowa lake, spent the afternoon there, then cameback checked in and went to The Stubborn Mule for drinks and dinner, very pleasant.

I would like to be rating this place, but after making reservations a few weeks ago, received a call the night before the Holiday weekend that we had no room. Someone didn't write us in a book or something. Funny because they obviously had our name and phone number. Perhaps the weekend got busy and they were able to get... More

We were terribly disappointed AND mistreated by the unkempt manager (woman) who rudely insisted that our reservation for the East Street Cottages (owned by the same entity) obligated us to pay $118.00 for a room, sight unseen until our arrival, and could not be changed. Do not believe the advertising photos for East Street Cottages...they are shabbily constructed, barely furnished... More

Pleasant experience. Walter Brennan owned this Lodge and it has remained in his family even after his death.

We arrived here weary after a long trip round the Hell's Canyon Scenic Byway - we just couldn't make the last bit to La Grande. We saw this place with some relief - it was so clean and attractive externally and we had a warm welcome. Our room is cosy and charming with TV, fridge, wifi and coffee making facilities.... More
