I stopped at the Sundial Lodge as it was ~ half way on my trip from OR to CA. Proprietor was very friendly, room was clean and comfortable. What I really liked was the location, after driving all day I wanted to stretch my legs. Sundial Bridge is a nice walk and there are a collection of restaurants within a half mile. I'll be stopping here again.

Heading in the right direction
Check in was easy and fast, and Marie was very friendly. We appreciated her great customer service. When we got to our room it was clean and tidy and it was obvious some nice upgrades have been made, such as the new tile floors. The showers also had excellent water pressure.
However, there are some areas for improvement. The mattress was uncomfortable and we woke the next day with sore backs. There were no encasements on the mattress or pillows. In the bathroom there were soaps but no shampoo or conditioner and no extra toilet paper in case we ran out. (We ran to Target to get some since the office was locked.)
Our biggest complaint, however, was that the air conditioner needs fixed or replaced as it ran intermittently and never cooled the room, something that was imperative given the near 100 degree temperature. We kept waking in the night drenched in sweat and throwing cool water on ourselves so we didn’t overheat.
The Sundial Lodge has promise. It is affordable and clean with a friendly staff and tidy rooms. But tweaks definitely need to be made before we will stay here again.

Good deal, good location
The room was clean and the service pleasant. My only complaint was that all the in-room lighting was too bright. Having said that, I we were there only one night and it was not a problem. I would stay there again - the location was perfect.

We paid for queen size room, we received a full size room. I have a king size bed at home and was wondering if this was a queen. The couple in other room told me they had a full size bed also. Room 204 & 205. So we where ripped off. There is also a very busy street and train that runs in the night, not anything they can control.

It was an extremely hot day, but the air conditioning wasn't on in the room. Very uncomfortable waiting for the room to cool down after turning it on.

I would not recommend this place
We got to the property and checked in. We were supposed to have 2 double beds and we had one King size mattress. We dealt with that.
When we opened the door to the room we were hit with a horrible tobacco odor.

The place is an old motel, two story with small rooms. It is being renovated and our room was freshly painted and carpeted. Bath was newly resume and the room was clean. The parking lot had construction debris and old furniture sitting around. There are no amenities. A nearby restaurant was fantastic. The rooms are generally not handicapped accessible.

One Step Above a Roach Motel
A step above a roach motel, but barely. We had a broken, squeaky bed with collapsed springs, dirty carpet, a broken bedside lamp, one of only two bulbs out in the ceiling lighting, a filthy hair dryer, and the room reeked of cigarette smoke.

Fine for an in and out stop.
This was an overnighter stop, in late and out early. It was fine for that. It is an older, but well cared for, property, clean and in good condition. The wifi was weak, but we didn't need it. We got a good price and it met our needs, but it is no romantic getaway.

There was a phone number to call to check in. If that wasn't uncomfortable enough the room had holes in the walls. The bed was the only thing clean but very uncomfortable.

Pleasant surprise for the price
This place was a pleasant surprise. I needed something cheap and last minute, so wasn't expecting much. Compared to similarly priced places I've stayed, this was by far the best. The staff was friendly and helpful. Although it's an older facility, it's been kept in good repair, was very clean inside and out, and the room didn't have that old cigarette smell that you sometimes run into in places that used to allow smoking. There's been some remodelling done so the bathroom counters and such were nice and the bed was comfy. The closet was deep enough to fit plenty of luggage so it's out of my hair. There was a delicious little Thai restaurant just down the street, and it's very close to a beautiful park. Decent wifi. I don't know about breakfast as I didn't attend. Would definitely stay again.

The parking is a ways from your door, which is unfortunate when you have heavy bags. The space is best for agile people because the bed and furniture are close together.
