Americas Best Value Sandman Inn

24 hr pool/hot tub was great! Very much appreciated this after a full days drive. Breakfast was a nice combo of breakfast sandwiches, french toast, bagels & cream cheese, cereals, yogurts, oatmeal and fresh fruit along with coffee, tea, juices and milk. Staff was friendly.

The bed was super firm and it was not a restfull nights sleep for me, kept me tossing and turning, woke with hip and back pain. The beds didn't bother my two teens and husband though. The barking dog across the hall was extremely annoying. Kept us all awake for 2 hours 5am-7am. Was aggressively barking and howling. The owner must have not been present. Lastly, the room had a funky smell at the front door. Something must have spilt there and rotted in the carpet padding or maybe old dog urine that had been there awhile. Then there was a very sticky pile of something that I stepped in the 2nd night. It was partially under the bed where the bedskirt hits the floor, so I see how that could have missed by housekeeping. It was gross to step in though.

Breakfast was a typical motel breakfast, with the possibility of toasting frozen waffles. There was yogurt (good), pastries (so-so), cold cereal and milk, coffee, tea, juice, fruits etc. and a microwave so that we could heat our leftovers. I liked that the indoor pool was open 24/7.

The pool ran out of towels, because they couldn't keep up with the laundry. There was no else in the pool except me and my grandsons, so it was bad planning. They should not change people's regular towels every day. so they wouldn't have to do some much laundry.

Location to everything. . Great staff. Great breakfast and wonderful coffee.. the room was warm and quiet and they allowed dogs. Our dog is amall but people could bring big dogs too. They really catered to people with pets. Better than any place we have been.. located around all kinds of places to eat and shop. It was easy to find and right off of I -84. Was a vary safe area and well lit. You could see the Wallowa mountains.

Location is great. They have a map and a list of the local restaurants available at the check-in counter. Service was promptly done.

Has the scent of an older hotel, especially when we turned on the AC. Staff checking in late at night was not very friendly. The complimentary toiletries are miniature, enough for one person per shower.

It was clean and the staff were nice. The pool and hot tub seem well taken care of.

They told us the outdoor area with the bbq to cook was closed at 5pm. When we went out to the pool at 8 pm it was unlocked. We wanted to use the bbq to cook dinner. That was irritating. Also the beds seemed a little too hard and kind of seemed like they were dulls and not queen. It was also pretty expensive.

Convenient location, friendly staff, it was an emergency stop after the state closed the freeway due to snow and the staff were handling the chaos very well.

Lots of signs of wear and tear/age. The bathroom needed a little attention (stains on the tub, torn shower curtain, etc.), but nothing that would keep me from choosing them in the same situation again.

We were able to check in early which helped us out tremendously. We were on the first floor very convenient roan outside door which was great for our 2 dogs. They charge $25 per fee per stay. We did not eat breakfast. We saw others enjoy the pool. Parking was convenient and safe

Weird signage

The room was good, a little dated and the yellow walls need to go, but overall pleasant and clean.

A little dated, yellow walls were alot.

Room size very nice. Staff pleasant at check in desk .

Found items left in drawers and under bed. No TV or info guide in room. Missed the notepad and pen...although person at desk was quite sweet to give me one when I made mention at checkout. Also got coffee when dispenser was empty at breakfast.

The staff was amazing! They went out of their way to help us store frozen breast milk, get us dish soap to wash bottles,etc.

The floor felt gritty. I felt like it could have been cleaner. I also killed two beetle-type bugs on the floor.
