I highly recommend the clean, cozy and affordable River Bend Motel. I spent two nights in the Moose Room, which has two comfy beds - a double and a single - plus a bathroom with shower. Room includes a good-sized mini-frig stocked with bottled water, microwave, fixings for pour-over coffee, and even paper plates and cutlery. Tim the owner thinks of everything. It was very quiet, even with the place fully booked. Pro tip: The only food in town (for now) is the small food market next door to the motel and Top Water Pizza, a food cart open Th-Sun only. So stock up before you get to town.
Nice place to stay in. Room was spacious and clean. Beds were large and comfortable. Bathroom was also clean and provided all necessary amenities. Next door is a general store and there is pizza being sold just down the road. Definitely worth the stay.
A great little home in the heart of the John Day Fossil Beds units. My room was cozy with a comfortable bed. Although Willow is the main street, there is very little traffic (don't try to hold your breath waiting for the next car). I marked this hotel for future visits to the area.
we stayed here on a road trip in 2019, we were give the room in the mobile home. It did the job but was a bit on the rough side.would stay again but not in that room.
We had 3 rooms and they were all very nicely decorated and clean in a country cabin decor, Great owner and his dog Lucy there every day hosting the place. Delicious coffee, has everything you need in the room. Pet friendly. Comfy beds. Little town of Spray is cute.
Stopped for a one night stay. The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful and kind. We had the suite room #5 and found it to be very large, clean and accommodating. The rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. Not much to do in Spray and there was a general store next door for supplies. Beware that things close very early around here.
My daughter and I stayed here two nights as we traveled eastern Oregon. The room was clean a cozy - nice bathroom, and good mattresses - we slept well. You can buy ice and food at the store next door, and pizza a block away, but everything closes around 7pm. We found good eats in Fossil on the second day. Definitely would stay here again. Thanks!
Great location to stay while visiting the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument and Painted Hills. The outside looks a little rustic and dusty but we found it super cute and loved the rustic charm. When we arrived there were several guests seated in the chairs around the outdoor table enjoying the quiet evening in this small town. We all found it very friendly and relaxing. We stayed in the Bear room with one queen and a single. Very clean room stocked with many items a traveling in a more remote area of Oregon would need. Refrigerator, microwave, paper plates, bowls, cups, paper towels, coffee maker, coffee and creamer. There's even dog mats and rags. The room was very clean with a rustic outdoorsy feel and decor. The town is very small and there's no place to eat dinner so eat before or bring your own. We all slept great because it was so quiet and dark in this little town. No breakfast is provided but you can get it next door at the Lone Elk. The owner is super friendly. We'd stay here again.
