Rodeway Inn La Grande - Island City

This was a basic clean hotel. It was close to the street so you could hear traffic but we didn’t mind that. We’d stay there again.

I have only ever written one other hotel/motel review, and I've traveled extensively, but this was the worst night of "sleep" ever and warrants warning people. Pros: The desk agent was very friendly. For being such an old and not updated building, the room was very clean. Linens were soft! There's a mini-fridge (didn't try it) and microwave. Cons: Sketchy location. The back row of rooms faces a bank of bushes and is very dark. There are no vending machine on the property, and the tap water is gross. Chevron next door closes at 11pm. I was directed to vending machines at the motel down the street that was even more dark and creepy. We were in room 28. The mattress ​closest to the door literally sank in half when I sat on it! It was like a leaking airbed. The other mattress sank some but not as bad. I had to move my kids who were already sleeping onto the other mattress, since they weigh less. It was 40 degrees and rainy, so I turned on the baseboard heater. It's a dial without any markings other than off and on. At first I thought it wasn't working, but soon heat came blasting out. We all woke up an hour later dripping with sweat. It was like a sauna! I turned it way down and tried to go back to sleep. It didn't get any cooler. Eventually I turned it all the way off, but it still put out heat! By 6am, I plugged in the window a/c unit to the try to offset the heat, but it didn't help. At bare minimum, being able to sleep is the purpose of a motel. We didn't get that!

Well cared for motel. Room was small but clean and comfortable. Bed was very comfortable. Staff was friendly and check in/out was painless.

The motel was at the far end of town but quit enough. I didn't feel as safe in that neighborhood at night as in other places I have stayed. The web said free breakfast but on arrival found out that was not true, even though I stayed somewhere else recently where they had a full breakfast. The room was in serious need of upgrading and did not appear to be clean, especially the carpet which needed replaced. Staff were friendly enough on check in and check out.

Its very old and uncomfortable and definitely not worth any money at all

The property and room were run down and unkept. Way below average, not a pleasant place to stay.

I had car troubles enroute to Seattle and needed a place to stay last minute. I was checked In very late by a pleasant woman who was very accommodating. The room was clean and quiet and as well as affordable.

There was no free breakfast. Not enough electrical outlets. Outlet in bathroom too high to reach. Toilet too small and too low. Entire motel should be remodeled.

Older hotel but staff was helpful in providing extension cords for our medical devices because there were limited electrical outlets.

This property is a old style motel with 1950 a tiny window ac/heater in the window. The is not an outlet in the bathroom besides the one on the tiny 40 watt wall light that I couldn’t reach. No blow dryer provided. No mention when checking in that room had no blow dryer. The blanket & bedspread was paper thin. The carpet had a strange smell. The bathroom pink tile & tub was held together with nasty dirty caulk. The worst was the toilet had a sanitized band, but had pee & toilet paper in it.
