Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The motel and the surrounding area look run down from the outside, but rooms are completely remodeled with nice countertops, modern fixtures and furniture. Good for a quick overnight stay if you're on a budget. The town of Hermiston is not too far away for shopping and to grab a bite to eat.

Room and bathroom where very clean, staff was friendly
We always enjoy staying here on our road trips back toward home. It is clean, the beds are comfortable, the staff is friendly and there’s a great brewery right next door.
Great place to stay. The room was clean, spacious and comfy. Will stay there again. The breakfast was mostly packaged baked goods and cereal, yogurt and fruit were also available. The restaurant next door was very good!
Towels should be swapped out daily, especially if the guest is asking for fresh towels. I shouldn't have to argue with staff, just bring the towels. No carpet means the floor in the room should be swept daily.
