Located in Eastern Oregon’s beautiful John Day Valley, the Best Western John Day Inn is just minutes from all the exciting local attractions this quaint and charming town has to offer, including plenty of outdoor recreation and exploration. Visit the John Day Fossil Beds or check out the Kam Wah Chung Museum, which pays homage to the Chinese culture and history in Oregon. Or head outdoors to the Strawberry Mountains, located just east of John Day, for hiking, biking fishing and nature watching. Guests can also take a day trip to enjoy the historic and legendary Oregon Trail, and there’s even an annual balloon festival and rodeo.

Best Place to Stay in John Day
The Staff was personable and helpful, the room clean. There was a nice variety of food to choose from at the Breakfast Buffet. The only downside was Wi-Fi, it was slow but given the location of the hotel, and the size of the town, it was no surprise.

Horrified in John Day
8/29/25 While showering I noticed something in the shower drain. Upon closer inspection it appeared to be pet feces. Being a holiday weekend there was no manager onsite. The desk attendant, Dana, was apologetic and came & removed the feces while a housekeeper laughed. I have emailed the manager with no response as of today, 9/2/25

A blessing in a stressful situation
Our car broke down an hour away from John Day and we hitched a ride to the closest hotel while our car was towed to a nearby shop. They had a room for us when I just walked in and let us have a late check out the next day while we waited on repairs. We ended up waiting even longer in the lobby with our 18month old daughter. The staff was so kind and friendly in a stressful situation. They offered my daughter toys, snacks and to change the tv channel for her. They were such a blessing to us and if we ever find ourselves back in John Day we will be back. The room was clean, air conditioned and safe. Exactly what we needed.
