Short version: This place is a lot better than it looks. The value is great, considering that one…read moreof the chain motels downtown wants about twice as much. Parking lot is pretty claustro, but they do have a nice place to sit in the back and have a smoke if you want. Very clean, looks like homebrew remodeling and maintenance but both done at least with pride. It's very easy to miss if you're headed east on the highway, because it kind of sneaks up on you and looks like it might or might not be open. In a former timber town with limited opportunities, closed businesses aren't that rare. We had to double back to it. Not sure how it is in the summer, but if you like sleeping in a cold room, this was that rare place (in April) where partner did not immediately turn on the AC full bore. No need to do that this time, nor even to mess with the temp. Not sure how well the warming works because we never wanted it. If there was a major frustration, I'd say it was thin walls. All the signs (too many) that tell you what you can and can't do include some that specify quiet hours, and that's fine, but it does leave you turning the TV down very low because you've been hearing the neighbors' TV for hours.

It is always extremely clean, very quiet and it just a well maintained little motel. The owner is awesome as is all of her staff, they go out of their way to make you feel welcome! It is also by far the best value in town. Large and quiet rooms with a good fridge, microwave, DirecTV and strong WiFi and coffee in the morning! This is the place to stay in town. And we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Arriving, we found a trim, inviting Front Street, Hotel Prairie on the east end. Juniper Dining Room closed Monday and Tuesday. This cornerstone of days gone by is a labor of love. I got a bed and breakfast feeling mixed with vacation stay faborite feeling. There's a community kitchen at the end of the hall - for those awkward Monday and Tuesday morning meals. It is an old hotel, redone well. Our room was quiet, sleep deep. The bathroom had a handicap shower if we were inclined. Our headboard was a reused old door. Very nice. If you are headed through or to Prairie City and day is running low, Try Hotel Prairie. We would again.

Very run down property with little to no upkeep evident. I wish I could say you get what you pay for but unfortunately that's not the case! The room was just like the outside, old, dirty and outdated. Pillows were lumpy and completely unusable, shower had the pink mildew around the entire rim, very little water pressure and a hodge podge of mismatched soap, lotion and shampoo from other hotels! The sofa was so dirty we wouldn't even sit on it! All that said, we are not picky nor are we clean freaks! We knew it was a local hotel and had no expectations other than a comfy bed and safe location. Well, we expected the amenities promised of course, like the laundry facilities! Unfortunately I can't recommend Sunset Inn and we'll stay elsewhere next time.

Easy to find, this is our second time staying here and we like it because its pet friendly. We had…read morea little trouble checking in. We use Hotels.com and we thought we paid on line but when we arrived they ask for payment which isn't a big deal but as a business this would be a concern if we were reserving for an employee. Other that the window sill being dirty with dead bugs, it was clean. Just keep the curtains closed and you won't notice a thing. It's a little run down lots of drywall patches, multiple types of texture and paint. Carpet seems worn down but hey it's pet friendly. No, my dog didn't have an accident. JS The bed was fairly comfortable but the pillow was horrible. I had a tough time getting to sleep and when I finally did another customer got to their room at 12:30am. I could hear him/her walking around for about 30 minutes before the person went to bed I assume. Early morning wakers starting their cars right outside, made my dog bark (sorrry) so I got very little sleep but it's better than sleeping in the car. They have Keurig machine that had a pod in it from the previous person but no big deal just threw it in the trash and prayed the machine isn't gross. Made a cup, brushed the teeth, packed and headed out and down the road noticing the other placed I might try next time.

So I looked up other hotel and called the Blue Mountain Lodge and woke Steve up and asked if there was a room available and in his tired voice he said "Yes".

Steve said don't worry about a check out time just get some rest. We did check out about 10:30 and told Steve we had a wonderful stay. Thanks Steve!

This level of customer satisfaction definitely deserves a 5 star rating.
