I usually drive through Hermiston, so I can’t compare this hotel to others. The service was friendly and welcoming. They gave us each a free drink ticket, always a nice perk after a long drive. We used them for house cocktails, which were very sweet and made with the bottom shelf liquor, lol. You can opt for beer, wine or soda. They also offered a complimentary salad bar, soup, and snacks (pretzels).
The room is a bit worn and dated, but the bed was comfortable, it was quiet (we were on the third floor), and there was a fridge and microwave.
I thought I’d use the hot tub, but the pool area is on full display (indoor) with windows for everyone to look in, right past the main lobby. Several kids were in there, so I changed my mind.
Other reviews mention a great breakfast, so I’ll weigh in on that. It is better than some, not as good as some. Sausage links, premade hashbrown patties, biscuits, scrambled eggs, yogurt, cheap coffee, oj, some toast options, some defrosted frozen berries, and oatmeal. I was able to request fried eggs, and I heard someone ask about a breakfast burrito, but idk if that is an option…there were no signs, menu, etc, and as we were leaving I saw a tub of cut melon in the kitchen, but it hadn’t been offered. Idk if we could ask for it or not. Basically the only thing I could eat there was the fried eggs, and I took some of the frozen berries to have on my own dairy free yogurt, with something else I’d made the day prior. Meh. A sign would be nice.
