We checked in late at night and the process couldn't have been any easier. There was coffee and a coffee pot in the room which was a great bonus not to have to buy any in town. There is a Safeway around 6 miles away that we did get some items to heat up and have in the condo. Seating was ample for our family. We would have liked bigger beds for our teenage boys but we made it work fine. The surrounding area is lovely and a few miles away is beautiful Wallowa Lake State Park which we stopped at on our way out of town. We would stay here again.

I spent three nights in Joseph, primarily because I wanted to day hike in the Wallowa mountains…read more But I also wanted to be able to clean up at the end of the day and walk to nice restaurants to start and end my day. So I chose to stay at The Jennings. I thought it would also be fun to stay in an historic building. And it is perfectly located at the center of town. I would definitely recommend folks stay here, as long as they understand that this hotel is different (it is not your typical hotel) and they're ok with that and want what this place does have to offer. They have a Minimalist vibe going on here. Both in terms of the room decorations and furnishings. As well as with the staff. There is no staff on site! So don't expect to be pampered like a traditional hotel. Communication is by email and they send you the code for the door and you simply let yourself in after check in time. So that is definitely different. I'm not sure of that approach is a thing in the hotel business these days but I've certainly never seen it before. It worked out ok in my case. Fortunately, I never needed anything. I'm not sure what it would be like if I did. The other thing to note about The Jennings is that most of the rooms do NOT have their own private bathroom. They share a common bathroom. There is one shared water closet and another shared water closet with a shower. This is not unusual for hotels in historic buildings. However, a few rooms DO provide a private bathroom so read those room descriptions carefully so you know what you're getting! There's also a shared sauna with a cold plunge shower. The other big thing to note about The Jennings is that it is NOT a place for kids. Their policy asks to avoid bringing kids under 12 years of age. Best to respect that. They'd be bored here. They do provide WiFi but there are no TVs in the rooms. I think that is a plus! I stayed in Room 5 1/2. It's a great room for one or two people and it does provide a private bathroom. The bathroom is a bit small but well furnished. It also has a shower which I greatly appreciated after a long day hiking. Some early reviews complained about lack of air conditioning. They fixed that! My room contained units for both A/C and heat. It also had a ceiling fan and a small fan on the table. The bed was top notch and very comfy. I did not hear any street noise. Most of the rooms overlook the side streets, not main street. So that helps avoid the noise. I also had no problem with noise from any of the adjacent rooms. There is also a shared kitchen that provides a refridgerator, oven, sink, dishwasher, plates, utensils, and coffee maker. There is no microwave. There's also a large table to eat at. And there's a small couch to sit in front of a (gas?) fireplace Oh and don't forget the balcony! The hotel is on the second floor of this building. And there's a large balcony that looks over Main street and provides an awesome view of the mountains. Overall, the space and furnishings are elegant, nothing cheap about anything. It's just Minimalistic. And historic. And there's no staff on site. I wish them well!

We stumbled across this cute hotel while driving through Joseph, Oregon. We were pleasantly…read moresurprised! Check-in was easy and done over the phone. A very cheerful person helped us and answered all our questions. The hotel is centrally located making it easy to walk to restaurants and stores. We were traveling with our medium sized dog so it was important to me that she was comfortable as well. We were given a room with a fenced patio and gas fireplace plus and a great view of the mountains. The "backyard" field was perfect for potty breaks and watching the sunset. The fee for having a dog is $25-very reasonable. I am SO picky about pillows that I usually bring my own, but the quality of the bedding was AMAZING! The King bed was so comfortable I think I slept in the same spot! Clean! So, so clean!! The housekeeping here is no joke-everything was sparkling! Amenities like shampoo, conditioner and hair dryer were available. The shower provided amazing water pressure-the good kind, not the piercing water pressure some showers can have, I was heaven! This place was remodeled recently. The furniture was thoughtful-the side table was an old trail sign and the coffee station provided handmade ceramic mugs-nice touch! Thanks for the stay!

Quiet location and very walkable to the shops, restaurants, etc. However the walls seem a bit thin as I could hear the neighbors on one side of us. I dinged them a star for no place to hang clothes and no surface to place personal items in bathroom. That said, I would still stay here again.

The rooms actually look more like they've been lifted and shifted from Cape Cod -- light, airy, white and blue tones. That worked just fine for me. King size bed, fan, shower -- we slept so well.

Oh come on with the poor reviews. The Wallowa Lake Lodge is exactly what it is suppose to be. A…read morehistoric lake front lodge in a national forest. Okay, the food isn't "foodie" worthy, but it is decent. The drinks - including a nice assortment of cocktails, are all well curated and fairly priced. The atmosphere is great. The back deck overlooks a grassy area with picnic tables and plenty of area to relax. Yes, the property is a no pet property, and that isn't all bad - especially as some folks are allergic or just plain don't care for pets. I think being a no pet property is great - and I am a take my dog everywhere person. I suggest going to the Wallow Lake Lodge for the Happy Hour. Get some fries, and then grab your dog and walk down to the lake off the property to end a great evening.

Despite not actually eating here, I still didn't have a very good dining experience. The staff were…read morevery vague in the amount of time that it would take to have an order ready. I've never worked in food service so I have no way to know how long an order of 11 will take, but I never expected to sit there for over an hour. After the one hour mark I was told that the item I ordered wasn't available and would have to re-order. Truthfully I was in a time crunch to get back to the other side of the state and didn't have another hour to wait for another food item to be prepared. I wish I would've been told an amount of time because it would've swayed my decision of whether I would've attempted to eat here. This was my first visit to wallowa lake state park.

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.

We saw online about this place and really weren't expecting TOO much. Boy were we surprised! Upon arrival we were greeted with GORGEOUS views of Oregon! Absolutely breathtaking! The front desk clerk Andy was really nice and welcoming. Made checking in super simple. He explained all the amenities perfectly. And got us to our room in a hurry which we loved cause we were so tired. He explained that there was no elevator which we didn't mind cause we traveled light. When we got to the room it was exactly what we needed. Everything was clean and and in great working order. Only thing is the DirectTv left a lot of channels to be desired. In the morning the continental breakfast is from 6-10. I over slept so didnt get in till 7. When I opened the warmer they were out of eggs and biscuits. I was slightly bummed but knew it was my fault so I didn't mind too much. Well the day time lady (forget her name) came out in a hurry with a HUGE good morning and noticed and immediately asked if I'd like some and made me some FRESH! I ate alot and went back to sleep. Oops over slept again! It was 10 and check out is at 11! I called down to inquire about a late checkout and the super nice clerk gave me untill 12! What great service!

At check in I was assigned a room on the second floor. When given instructions on the best stairwell to access my room I learned there was no elevator. Due to health conditions I find climbing stairs to be extremely difficult. I asked if he could change m3 to a first floor room and he said that would not be possible though it appeared to me that I was an early check in he should have easily charged room assignment. Apparently he was not authorized to make any decisions as I heard him tell other guests that he would have to call the owner or manager. I'm a loyal Best Western traveler and though this hotel was just "okay" I find that their sub brands are not nearly as nice as their core brand. The free breakfast while adequate was the same each morning, sausage gravy, biscuits, sausage links and sausage patties and pre fried eggs. No fresh fruit but three cold cereals and selection of breads.

The staff is very friendly and provides everything from towels, cooking pots and pans, all glasses/plates/silverware/mugs, and anything else you may need (other than food). The only thing it doesn't have is paper towels. We had a larger cabin that slept 8 and it also had a nice deck with propane BBQ, patio table with umbrella, and lounge chairs. The cabins are also cable ready, but the wifi is a bit spotty and you can only check email. However, you're on vacation, so detach from the computer or smart phone and take a walk to the lake to enjoy the other fabulous activities in the Wallowa Lake area. The resort is centrally located within walking distance to the lake, mini-golf courses, go carts, shops, restaurants, the marina, the tram up to Mt. Howard, and much more. The Wallowa Lake resort has a spa on the property as well, so bring your suit. Dogs are also welcome for an extra fee and you will be provided with a dog pack that includes a sheet, treat, and other necessities. Just be sure to keep fido on a leash while on the property or in a crate if you leave them alone. Otherwise, they're very accommodating here. I would definitely stay here again. The property is beautiful.
