We reserved 4 rooms for 4 couples, and made the reservation 6 weeks in advance. The motel sent us an email confirmation for all 4 rooms. When we left that morning, we called just to let them know that we were the folks with 4 rooms reserved, and that we were on our way--they said ok. When we arrived at 8:00 pm, they said we only had 2 rooms reserved--despite our email confirmation that said 4. The receptionist looked into "the record" and confirmed that we had originally reserved 4 rooms, and that they were confirmed. She said the record showed that several weeks later, the owner deleted one of the rooms, and another week later the owner deleted another room. Apparently a company wanted several rooms for their employees that were working in the area. They were staying all week, whereas we were only staying 1 night. We were able to get a 3rd room because they had a cancellation, but we were left at 8:30pm trying to find another room. Fortunately we located one, but it was 40 minutes away. While it's totally unethical to cancel rooms because you get a longer term reservation, i get that a small business needs to maximize their revenue. What is incredibly wrong is that they didn't bother to notify us! it would have been easier to locate a room in the area 3 weeks before our stay, instead of that night! So be forewarned, a reservation with this place is meaningless--you may show up and...

Read moreI'm a member of the NW Crossfire Club. We rented the whole place for two nights over Memorial Day weekend plus I think her home for our BBQ. The Motel is really a bit of nostalgia, but with modern conveniences. Our hostess, Cheryl handled all of the details so beautifully. She had tables and chairs outside for us to gather in the evenings and mornings. I've gotta say this was the most enjoyable experience with accomodations I've had in years. I want to take another drive down that way with my motorcycle club with a stayover there. Probably won't be until next year.
Anyway, I think without exception the club members would give the Condon Motel 10 stars if we could. Thanks. for the memorable...
