We stay here all the time when visiting family . We usually see a younger lady who is fantastic and friendly . Today there was an older lady at the check in who was horrible. She has no customer service skills . If I had not already paid for room I would have cancelled . I will not stay here again if she continues to be here . Horrible !

The property was in desperate need of repair and upgrades. The furniture was very damaged. Tv remote didn't work. The light in the room didn't work only the table lamp. There was actually muddy hand prints on the wall and the shower.The bathroom light was broken. People were smoking pot outside the door most of the night. We wanted to sleep and it just wasn't possible. We had several another choices of locations to stay. We wanted to spend our money with local business instead of a national chain that was a true mistake. We would not recommend staying at the Pioneer for any reason. I will add that there was credit due to the person managing the breakfast. It was very clean and well organized.

The rooms vary in layout and features from a simple beds with microwave and fridge to a full on kitchen. I like the white cotton bed coverings. It’s very affordable. This is not a corporate motel. It has a bit of a funky edge which gives it character. Beds are comfortable, water is hot, showerheads deliver a nice water pressure. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I feel safe here. It’s usually pretty quiet. Wi-Fi is reliable. My only pet peeve is the popup air fresheners, which is a personal preference. I just set them outside the door. Coming and going to Goldendale the mountains are so beautiful. It’s a great place to stop and refresh.

Our first room did not have a flushing toilet. The receptionist move us to another room. The room has a flushing toilet but no functioning light. Both rooms have a very strong odor. We just sleep there so it doesn’t bother us. Surprisingly, has a good breakfast.

The adjoining properties were dilapidated and run down. Not the motel owners responsibility though. A good buffet breakfast with many options. A good set of instructions posted in each room.about how to operate the TV would be a good idea.

We had to dodge dog poop to walk to our room then the heat wasn’t working in the room and the heater vent are was melted and looked like it would start a fire if on. The beds weren’t made or clean, there was hair on them and they were stained yellow. We had to cancel our reservation and find the second and only other option in the city to stay at. The worker said she had another room but it would be more money for it and acted like we couldn’t afford it.

We had a 2 queen bed room, it was like a suite with a bedroom, the space was very generous with a kitchenette that has a stove, sink, pots and eating utensils. Quartz Countertop looks new, we saw a stain on the bedsheet, they provide makeup remover but no shampoo, so always bring your own soap and shampoo if you are the sensitive type but overall pretty clean.

Stay Away

The place is run down and filthy. Dog pooh caked on the floor. Door lock didn't function properly. For all the coming and going in the next room I'm guessing trade in contraband. Pity, since there was a screaming toddler in the room. I left and went to another Motel. Avoid this place at all costs.
