This hotel absolutely saved our peace of mind on an otherwise perilous drive. I-84 was closed from Pendleton to Ontario. The authorities had no established detour route and wouldn’t even communicate the reason for the closure (was the road washed out, buried in a landslide or just snowed over? Are we talking an overnight closure or many days to weeks?) Not wanting to find out, we diverted south on US-395 and stopped in John Day intending to take a rest stop around 8:30p fully intending to spend the night in Ontario. As we ate dinner, Google maps kept increasing the time adding hour after hour until we wouldn’t make it until 1-2am.
Exhausted, we called the Best Western and Megan answered. She was so helpful and empathetic, offered us a room with a discount (which was very much appreciated as we hadn’t planned/budgeted for this stop.) Hotel amenities were updated and clean. Breakfast was fresh and had a large variety of hot and cold options.
Great for those who prefer a firm mattress. Fridge and microwave are available in room. Water pressure was high with plenty of hot water. Parking is plentiful, with a larger lot for trailers. Dogs are allowed and there are safe routes with sidewalks around the neighborhood nearby.

Given the relative high room rates for this property, the state of the room I stayed in didn't meet expectations.

We went to see the painted hills and stayed one night in John Day. This was the only hotel in town with King sized beds, so we stayed here with no idea what we would get in this small town. We were so very pleased! The rooms were big and comfortable and had many amenities. The breakfast was full and hot and so many options. We were happy and would definitely stay here again.

Check in great, no issues and clerk was wonderful with explaing where everything was. Check out - Sat. Breakfast well stocked and tasty. We did notice the front desk clerks didnt appear very professional due to their attire (sweats, tshirts, baseball hat, hoodie and no name tags). We also noticed a skateboard half tucked under one of the couch. It would be beneficial for Best Western to ensure front desk personnel have a more professional appearance.
