As we were getting hooked up the toothless manager came by and told us that due to the mess of tree branches in our area, she was giving us a discount and would reverse the charges on the credit card if we paid her cash. Needless to say, the charges were not reversed. The people who run this place are scammers.

Room was nice although it could have been cleaner. Tub had a slip resistant finish and unfortunately look liked some dirt was trapped in the grip texture. Chair/ottoman was stained so we didn't use it. If you have upholstered furniture keep it clean or get rid of it. Breakfast was included in the room charge, $99.99 w/o tax, which was enjoyed. The woman in charge of the breakfast room was nice to adults but a little impatient with the kids that were unsupervised. No one wore masks and the breakfast attendant gave us her opinion of the pandemic which was sadly uninformed. The hotel had a hot tub and small indoor pool. Looked lovely. Wish I would have seen it before checking out. Overall, the employees at R&R were very pleasant but not one employee work a mask nor did they enforce the mask policy posted on the front door and in the hallways.

Each wing had about 5 bedrooms and a shared bathroom/shower area. In the middle of both wings a decent kitchen and living area to hang out. We had breakfast in the cafeteria and it was very good. Then we got a bagged lunch to take out when we went exploring. At 6:30 we returned to the cafeteria for dinner. I was impressed with the meals. Large or small groups can find lodging and meals here. It is a special place.

Once funded by a consortium of universities as a research station, the station is now an…read moreindependent foundation dependent on grants, donations and charges for its services. It provides housing, conference facilities and some classes for groups who are doing research, hunting or fishing or touring the Malheur Wildlife Management Area - Steens Mountain and surrounding area. I stayed there as part of a bird photography excursion sponsored by the Klamath Bird Observatory in late April. We were lodged in a duplex with beds, living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. The only items we had to bring were bedding/sleeping bags, towels and food. The units are old but clean. The setting is a few miles from the Malheur Wildlife HQ on flat sandy ground covered in sage brush with a couple of small cinder cones nearby. There is a small but well stocked book/gift store and about 3 miles away is a gas station/café/saloon/market/RV park. The Station is isolated; at night all we heard were the wind and an owl; the sky was full of stars. (Astronomy buffs also come here.) The wildlife viewing opportunities are fantastic: over 120 bird species rmigrate through the area; plus you can see the residents that include golden eagles, sage grouse, ravens, prairie falcons, harriers, Am. coots (of course) and many other birds. There are antelope, mule deer, coyotes, rabbits, ground squirrels, wild horse herds and other mammals and reptiles in the area, and streams and lakes for fishing. If you want to experience the outdoors where there are very few other people but lots of wildlife and exceptional scenery, Malheur is ideal. (If you don't want to cook dinner see the reviews for Diamond Hotel--its about 45 min. away from the station.)

This is dry camping but we stayed 10 days and only saw a handful of people. We felt like we had the place to ourselves. We saw some water spigots but we didn't use them. Grounds are fairly level. Close to a store and gas about 15 mins away. There is a drop box to make payment for your stay. Star gazing at night is awesome! We had 4 bars with Verizon. Internet was descent too.

The bathroom facilities themselves are new, impeccably clean, and spacious. No soap was lame, though. There are several places to let your dog exercise and use the bathroom and also nice shaded picnic tables that are pet-free, so everyone has space to do what they like. Everything is well marked and there is ample parking. If ODOT ever redesigned this entrance / exit, they'd do well to make the on / off highway portion more akin to an off ramp / on ramp style. The 90-degree turn is probably not easy on those with trailers.
