You get what you pay for and for the price, the Oak Tree Inn was still above and beyond my expectations. No pool and no breakfast but if you need a reasonably priced place to rest that is still clean and comfortable, this is it.
Kellie, the GM called when we were about two hours outside of Hermiston. I had accidentally booked a handicap accessible room when using Orbitz. She was calling to see if that was a necessity and if there was anything else they could prepare for us if that was the case. We told her that we did not need an accessible room. She mentioned they'd had a crazy day and she worried our room would not be ready by 4pm. This was fine as we wouldn't arrive until after 5. No big deal. She decided to upgrade us to an extended stay room anyway, equipped with a fridge and range top. The room was nicer than I had anticipated. It was very clean. The bed was comfortable. There are blackout curtains in the room that made for very peaceful sleep after a late night at the county fair. No streetlights leaking in.
If your kids want to swim and if you need tiny boxes of cereal in the morning, this may not be the place for you. For me, I spent $50 less than what the other hotels charged and was treated to a great room with an incredible staff of people making sure all our needs were met. Thank you to Kellie and the team. We truly enjoyed our stay with you! read more
