Cheap room, but paper thin walls. Breakfast was nothing more than pastries and juice. Woke up to the neighbor loudly talking early morning after being up all night at Rock the Locks. Don’t stay here if you want to sleep.

Great: - this was the best bed I slept in my entire trip, it was very comfortable :) - staff person at the front desk was nice and helpful - although it's right on the main road, I wasn't bothered by road noise or light - the Maple Moose next door has good coffee and breakfast sandwiches (drive-through only) Accessibility note: there's no elevator, so if stairs are an issue I suggest calling to arrange a first floor room Disappointing: - breakfast was instant oatmeal or a pre-packed pastry, no protein options that I saw - no luggage cart

Everything was better than we expected except the breakfast. The breakfast was really grab and go. It worked for us but others may be disappointed.

We’ve been coming to the Econo Lodge for years (since it was the Tillicum Inn and enjoyed our stays. Unfortunately, this year we were disappointed. Our keys would open the room, but wouldn’t work on the exterior doors forcing us to enter through the office door. This made it difficult to haul our luggage and other items from our vehicles to the room. On three of the four days we stayed, the exterior doors wouldn’t open. For $157 per night, we expected better conditions. We may have to look into other options the next time we travel to Umatilla. Also, the toilet in room 118 needs to be secured as it wobbled when used.

Paper thin walls. Can hear every sound in neighbors rooms. Breakfast is only a bowl of oranges and some packaged danishes. Staff was nice. Parking lot well lit. Adjacent to a diner.

Booked what we thought was a hotel with a pool, but their pool was pretty rundown looking and closed for maintenance. It was very disappointing, definitely wouldn't have booked it had we known beforehand. Room was clean, beds were ok. Will probably stay somewhere else if we find ourselves back in that area again.
