the sutherlin inn is on the way to the coast, between grants pass and medford areas or from eugene in the north (on highway 5), and reedsport and florence in a little tiny town called Sutherlin.  I keep calling it Slytherin, due to Harry Potter but it is definitely NOT Tom Riddle aka Voldemort’s house.

The people here are truly nice people.  I got a rain check from the McDonald’s and in Florence, the McDonald’s would not honor it and in fact the guy there was RUDE and obnoxious.  Plus, the McD’s was dirty and loud and chaotic. Apparently that is acceptable there, ugh.  I wrote to corporate three weeks later am still waiting for a response. None so far, and I went back to this McDonald’s in Sutherlin and they honored the meal courteously.

There are three motels here clustered with the fast food places (Burger King, A&W, probably KFC and a few others)…  the other two motels, one looked seedy (relax inn) and the other looked snooty with a sign that said no dogs on the grass ever. So we chose to stay here at the Sutherlin Inn…  the rooms are small and compact, FRESH sheets, big TV, wireless and FREE LONG DISTANCE PHONE CALLS… I’ve never come across that before plus they are pet friendly, too…  they will soon be having microwaves and fridges in the rooms, too…

there is a lovely back yard with grass for the dogs to cavort and do their business.  Plus, it is affordable, about the same as we have been paying, only BETTER ROOMS AND SERVICE !!!   why doesn’t Motel 6’s step up to the plate??? If one motel can do it, so can the others…

Plus, Tasia, the front desk clerk who will soon become Assistant Manager, was the sweetest, kindest, friendliest and just plain nicest person we’ve come across in awhile. (I cannot think of one other place in Oregon we’ve stayed at that were like this). She gave Cici dog biscuits, let Cici be in the lobby, although Cici was misbehaving so I put her in the car.  Cici was just wanting to run and play after being cooped up for a few days due to stormy weather.

I was sorry to leave Florence, although Florence DOES NOT HAVE ANY DECENT MOTELS. NONE. They are all overpriced for what you get.

Here there are 80 rooms, three floors, an elevator, free breakfast from 5 to 10 am, and the nicest people, which makes all the difference. Cici and I would definitely stay here again.  Four paws up !
