The kitchen is open to guests which I found amazing. When I arrived I was hungry but not for a full meal so I toasted a bagel and sat outside on the porch to eat it and listen to the birds. One caveat about the Rooster Room is the shower. You need to get the shower curtain arranged before you take a shower to avoid water on the floor. Otherwise, it was a great stay and the breakfast was wonderful, as well. It's definitely not your ordinary lodging.

This is NOT a rant. This is an accurate representation of how I was treated when I showed up in…read morethe lobby to try to get a room for the night. I was refused accommodations because I showed up on a motorcycle. Blatant and illegal discrimination! While I was being denied lodging, the clerk checked in two "good old boys" who had green teeth and showed up in a beat up pickup truck with rifles in the back window.... I'm guessing they were hunters.. apparently armed dirtbags are much more to their liking. Lest readers be misled, I am hardly the "outlaw Biker" type. I am a Grandfather, professionally employed and college educated. Now if I was a homosexual I could have sic'd BOLI and the State of Oregon on these people but it's still apparently just fine to discriminate against some "classes" pf people if you don't happen to like their mode of transportation. Bikers beware! Motels are few and far between in Eastern Oregon. Make sure you have lodging arrangements locked in before you head out that way.

The Elkhorn B&B has, if anything, gotten even better since my last visit. Debra, the…read moreowner/innkeeper, has expanded her flock of goats and now is mastering the art of goat cheese and milk-making, selling her creative chevre combinations at local farmers' markets and offering advice to would-be artisan farmers (or wannabes) along with her signature ranch house breakfasts (think fresh eggs, hash browns, melon, sausage, and excellent dark rich coffee). She's also a fountain of knowledge and great conversationalist, and her elegant ranch home quickly feels familiar within the first few minutes of arrival (once you open the gate and bounce along the gravel driveway to the barnside parking). This time, I decided to get creative and took a sunrise hike before breakfast to the summit of nearby Council Mountain (8126 ft.) in the Payette National Forest. Admittedly, it was a bit of an adventure, with fallen Ponderosa pines (the good Samaritans have chainsaws in their trucks up here), black bear cubs, a great grey owl, kestrels, and a herd of free-ranging cattle, and I didn't get back until 11:30 am, so my breakfast was an early lunch. But the chance to see the mountains from an exquisitely rugged vantage point made the 12-mile morning trek worth the effort. The food and company that Debra provided after were most welcome. You don't actually need to do a hike like that to have a good stay at the Elkhorn (or bring along French wine to drink on the patio while watching the lightning and rains come in at night). You could just hang out for a while and soak in the hip ranchhouse atmosphere while goats, horses, sheep, mules, chickens, dogs, and other creatures wander about. It's definitely a pioneering sort of place - a 21st century version of a Western American classic, with WiFi and goat cheese included.

If you visited the hotel prior to the pandemic, please be advised it is a completely new and improved experience. The building and grounds have a unique and storied past, dating back to the mid-1800s when the first permanent structures were built there. The building was once a hospital and trading post, a movie theater and many other things. Then it fell into precipitous disrepair for many years until the last several owners began putting a great deal of money into bringing the resort back to its former glory. The building is a big, sprawling and drafty old place. If you are looking for a painstakingly restored Williamsburg style country inn, this place isn't for you. There are creaky floors, uneven surfaces, and yes... cobwebs here and there. But the wonderful new owners of the property are dedicated to making it shine. Please do visit the The Lodge at Hot Lake Springs. Ask questions, wander from room to room. Explore the grounds. Read Wikipedia about the lodge, and track down some of the cable ghost hunting programs on YouTube that feature the place. Enjoy soaking in the pools. This place might not be for everyone, but I love it!

Rooms were great, the owner is a little Korean lady that makes the stay special, and it is only a couple of minutes to walk either way to a convenience store or a restaurant at the truck stop. Much more personal and pleasant than the strictly commercial places in Baker or LaGrande. I suggest you step back in time for an evening.

This was a great alternative to hotel living while I worked a couple of weeks in the area. Terry and Jeanne were flexible on my timing and the rate and were fantastic to work with. I moved my coworker into the Upper Suite within days as all my coworkers were super jealous.

This place, in contrast has made lemonaid out of lemons so to speak. The room was great, as always. The staff was great, as always. They no longer have a breakfast buffet.... most motels have stopped offering it while not reducing their room rates. The Eagle's view came up with an interesting solution. You fill out a menu of what you want in the morning and when you'll show up and hot coffee and all the goodies you ordered are waiting when you get there. Being a big eater I was concerned that the portions would be skimpy. But the gal working the b'fast really heaped on the food. It was great! This motel has always been the best lodging in town (by far). Always stay here when we're in town.
