Best Western Oakridge Inn

Very clean room, refreshing outdoor pool, wonderful a/c and friendly service. The breakfast was plentiful with eggs, sausage, potatoes and lots more. The room was standard for a small town Best Western i.e. very basic with a comfortable bed. Very good value and seems to be the best option in Oakridge. less

If you are into biking or stopping for outdoor activities this is the hotel for you. If you need a halfway point, this is the hotel for you. If you are looking for a nightlife after your activities this really isn't the hotel for you. We used this hotel as a halfway point back home. We arrived around 3:30 pm and checked in. We asked about the local best places to eat only to be told "It depends on what you like".. The other desk person gave us a run down of restaurants she thought were good. Sadly most of not all were already closed. Yep, 3 pm and the entire town nearly shuts down. One lady was looking for a pharmacy. There was one but it was closed too. We did find an A & W that was filthy but had decent food. We cleaned the table off with paper towels from the bathroom because the 2 kids running the place were overwhelmed. Dishes were piled high on the garbage area which hadn't been cleaned for eons by the look of the layers of food goo. Thankfully we weren't overly picky because the food was very hot and good. Just don't look around and you'll be fine. Anyway, the hotel was clean and well stocked.. We lacked for nothing. The room was stuffy and the only way to rectify was to turn on the air conditioner which was a bit loud. I have nothing bad to say about the room. The shower had plenty of hot water and I enjoyed the shower head that had different settings. Parking is ample and the perimeter of the hotel clean. The cons would be the lack of anything to do. We ended up at the St Vincent because it was the only store open around 6 pm. My daughter needed an extra pair of leggings for the trip so we stopped there. It wasn't cheap though at 6 bucks for a pair of used leggings. My husband did take a walk in the neighborhood shortly thereafter while I took the kids and went to the room. He walked about a couple of blocks and was approached twice by two different men asking him what he was doing and where he was from. He was surprised at the "Deliverance" mentality of the locals. He told them both he was out for a walk because he didn't want to be cooped up in a room. One guy told him to get off his property. My husband kept walking and told the jerk that the sidewalk was public property. After being approached twice, he decided to return to the BW. The next morning we had breakfast in the dining room. The food was fair but could have been warmer. We tried the OJ that had obviously watered down. My husbands biscuits and gravy was tepid at best. I stuck to cold cereal and hot tea. We were happy with the room. It was clean, neat and dry. A bit outdated as others have said but it worked for us. What didn't work was the rude locals and lack of things to do after 3 pm. less

I was pleasantly surpassed with the quality of the room. I had a king with sofa, the room was clean, sheets and duvet were clean and crisp. Shower had good water pressure and tub drained well. Towels were a bit scratchy but clean. Check in and Breakfast both better than expected given the location and small town. less

Staff is extremely friendly and knows the area which is a plus, to include a warning about the nearby hot springs. The room was very clean, and the rug looked new. Wife and I agreed we could easily spend a week there with no issues compared to other motels where we had planned a longer stay but left after one night. Breakfast was a good plus also for fueling up for all the activities in the area. less

OUR ROOM: Wheelchair accessible (we didn't need this, but it was the only room left). Excellent parking lot with plenty of spaces for all the rooms. Room was ultra-clean, and everything worked well. That said, it was outdated as to decor and amenities, although there was a nice TV. NO electrical outlets at the desk; NO electrical outlet on one side of the bed (so could not recharge cell phone). THE BAD STUFF: IF you need an accessible room, this one is great space-wise, but inadequate as to electrical outlets. BEWARE if you need to plug anything in at the bed (like your ventilator) because there’s only one outlet on ONE side of the big king bed. Or bring extension cords so you can have service where you need it. Desk area did not even have an outlet. THE MOTEL: Pool area is nice and set back away from the road (towels are out there so you don’t have to use your room towels by the pool - very thoughtful). Breakfast is included, but we slept too late to enjoy it. THE BEST STUFF: Housekeeping went out of their way to make our stay comfy. Ultra friendly, kind, thoughtful. Please remember to tip housekeeping when you leave. It’s very difficult to make a living on minimum wage, so please help your fellow human beings by being generous. Smile, say thank you. It makes a difference. Hotel front desk staff was excellent - friendly, helpful, courteous. AREA: a recreation paradise, with lakes, rivers, hiking, cycling, etc. A couple of great restaurants nearby, like Brewers Union (the absolute best). Ask front desk staff - they can direct you to lots of nearby spots. less
