I stayed one night at the Motel Del Rogue in July of 2020, and firstly, let me tell you that one night at this property is not even close to enough. Not only is the location absolutely spectacular (riverfront with plenty of space and seating to enjoy the view) but the family that runs it must be some of the nicest and most genuine people on the face of the planet. Before I get into too much detail, I need to share an example of the care and courtesy that the owners exhibit. I left my binoculars somewhere on the property, and made my way back down south on my road trip none the wiser. About a week later, I get a call from the Kevin, the owner, asking if I by chance had left my binoculars at the hotel. Mind you, I had taken them to the river and had no idea I had left them, but they belonged to my brother and had a little note "To Tommy." Knowing that there had not been a Tommy staying there that week, Kevin called EVERY PERSON who had stayed there until he found me and was able to send the binoculars back. I tried to offer to pay him to send them back and he refused, doing it entirely out of the goodness of his heart. I worked in 5-star hotels for nearly a decade and have been blessed enough to travel the world, and I can tell you that I have never seen the level of pride and care from anyone in this industry, nor anything that comes even close. The same pride Kevin has for his family (in the lobby is a framed article about Sylvia, his tennis star daughter who was there helping us throughout our stay) he has for his property and guests. The atmosphere of inclusivity and the inner beauty of the ownership not only resonates throughout the motel, but in everything this place is and stands for. If you are in a 100 mile radius, change your plans and come to the Motel Del Rogue. You will not regret it, and I can tell you that I can't wait to come back. Thank you Kevin, Constance, and Sylvia. You provided us with a once in a lifetime experience. -MTS
I have traveled for business across the northwest for the last five years and there is no where I would rather stay than Motel Del Rogue. I’ve stayed at every chain hotel out there, experiencing one terrible night’s sleep after another. I believe there are two important factors in choosing accommodations 1. How comfortable is the bed and 2. Staff attentiveness. Motel Del Rogue is owned and operated by a family that makes me feel like an extension of their family. In fact, they have become a part of ours as well, as I’ve now been bringing my kids and husband for vacations for the last three years. We all love it and frequently share meals and visit for hours on the beautiful riverfront that the motel sits along. Let’s talk about the accommodations; the beds are vintage and that might make you think they would be rickety or uncomfortable but it is just the opposite. They have chosen good linens, great pillows and warm blankets so it’s like sleeping in my own bed. I often sleep so well, it doesn’t even feel like a business trip! I’ve been told that Motel Del Rogue has been accommodating weary travelers since the 30’s and the owners have taken the time to fill this small space with tons of vintage treasures to give you the sense you’ve stepped back in time. From period perfect kitchenettes to lamps and art, straight from a mid century time capsule, everything about this motel is unique and quirky. Don’t stay here if you are expecting a bleached out, taupe and bland chain hotel experience. This is not your space. DO stay here if you want the most beautiful river views, kind and attentive staff, comfortable beds and the coolest, affordable, unique accommodations in the northwest. Plus the coffee is amazing!
Stopped in for one night only, after a week of camping on the road. I loved this motel from the moment I pulled in until the minute I left! Very friendly staff, meticulously landscaped grounds with lots of sitting places, the bed gave me excellent sleep and all the other details of the room and amenities were supreme. Thank you for your great hospitality, hope to see you again!
Home tonight, after three nights at Motel Del Rogue. And it couldn't have been more perfect! Starting Friday, our grandson was participating in State Championship BMX races in Grants Pass. And, it was HOT! Each day, we couldn't wait to get back to our lovely, clean, real retro, little place! It was Immensely Cooler on the river, the nice freshly watered green grass, front and back of the rooms, down to the river. Trees, that were probably saplings when the place was built... shed abundant cooling shade. Yet, from our porch on the river side, we had such nice views of the brilliant sunsets, ducks asleep on the rocks in the morning, V-formations of geese going down the river, and the special treat, a Great Blue Heron in flight. We enjoyed coffee on our deck overlooking the river each morning ...and of course, our dogs, and grandson loved the dips in the river. This lodging is a hidden gem for travelers. Over the years, we have stayed in Many hotels in Grants Pass. All surrounded by hot asphalt. I am fortunate enough to be able to afford any lodging I choose. {almost:)!) So, we did not choose and stay here because of the price .... but because of the location. The ambiance and cleanliness, welcoming owners and staff, capped the deal. Highly Recommended.
This is truly a hidden gem. We were there for four nights, and will be back. It was hard to leave. The good points? Ambiance overload, rustic, heaven, charming, comfy, nostalgic The bed, comfy as can be, plenty of pillows, light and heavy blankets The layout - on the small side but perfect and efficient Appliances, dishes etc - every one you would need, full sized fridge, some units have small kitchens, some have larger Location - out of town but not too far Quiet! Except for one loud neighbor for just an evening The deck, overlooking the river, comfy couch with cushions and table with benches, where we spent most our time Kitchen table for computer and mornings Two end tables at the bed, with lights (big score here!) Tables and BBQ's in the front of the cottages, great places to sit and talk. Wonderful owners, Kevin and Constance, grand people!!! We finally found some bad aspects, but let me tell you, it took a while and we almost had to hunt for them. Lack of plugs, especially in the bathroom when drying your hair, Kevin is fixing that, bless his heart. Thin toilet paper, lol!
