After having to argue once when I called to book (was in St. Helens for a dog event and was given their name with discounts as well as the neighboring Best Western) about the discount I was told I would receive and then having to argue again once I got there (not to mention when I tried to check in...

My wife and I and our three children were needing a place to stay for 4 nights while completing the renovation on our home. We have a baby and didn't want to bother my mother in law so we looked to find a place in town to stay. The village Inn was the best price that we could find in... More

After driving all day on our way home from visiting family in Grants Pass we decided to take a pit stop and drive through Saint Helens and up to Astoria. There are only 2 hotels in the area and because the Village Inn has a restaraunt and bar, we decided to stop and stay there. The front desk clerk was... More

The manager of this motel is one of nicest person in Oregon probably. If you're a Twilight fan... You will be close to many locations from the first movie, among them Bella Swan's house. The motel needs some renovations, to be up to my standards and to match the price. The bed was comfortable.

I paid $190 for 2 nights which was what I expected for a nice room like the ones pictured on the website. What I got was quite different. When I walked in the first thing I noticed was the linoleum tile floor. No carpet, not even a rug to put your feet on when getting out of bed. Then I... More

Whatever positive review I might have made is completely offset by the drunken partying full time residents living here. I finally had enough and called the front desk, but someone answered with "the lounge" instead. fortunately I had earplugs and was able to get some sleep. I will not be staying here again, period. Keep driving.

The rate was $50 less than the Best Western. There are only two inns in town. At first glance I was concerned. It was not a new place and it showed with lights out in its neon sign and no symbol of the Americas Best Value Inn logo although recognizable from the photos online we knew we had the right... More

Not a luxury motel, but clean, quiet and well-maintained with excellent mattresses! The reasonable price included a $10 gift card for breakfast at their restaurant. My suggestion for improvement would be to replace the light colored curtains with darkening drapes. The room was so light during the night we could have read a newspaper! I would also request a room... More
