Beautiful location above the river in the quaint town of Lewiston. Stayed 1 night on a cross state motorcycle trip. Rooms were very clean and spacious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back to stay with my family.

My husband and I recently got married and were so happy with our stay at Hells Canyon Grand Hotel. Our suite was very comfortable and had a lovely view of the river and mountains. I was so happy that our families were able to stay there as well. We enjoyed their pool/hot tub, breakfast, and bar. Location was PERFECT, with our venue being only 15 min away. The staff were friendly and inviting to our party. We will be staying again in the future! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Nice clean room. Breakfast option looks great but they don’t start serving until 0630 and we are here for a guided fishing trip and have to leave hotel at 6am. Parking is great. Lots of restaurants, grocery, and retail close. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bed was super comfy for me.

Amazing service and a wonderful hotel. I have been there a few times, but primarily My Husband is there weekly in the winter months for work. Josephine goes above and beyond every time I call when booking the room. Her customer service is outstanding & she definitely deserves recognition from her supervisors. Thank you so much for the good service.

We had a group lunch in their restaurant. Overall the food was good if you coulg get past the brown lettuce and cold soup. Wait staff was outstanding. Thank you. Merriweathers is usually a great place to eat. Great wait staff. Decent portion size and most items are reasonably priced. We didn't have a room in the motel this time but it was a great place to stay last Fall.

This is a wonderful hotel, completely remodeled. Great breakfast, clean rooms, and very friendly staff! Highly recommend to all. If you choose a room with a spectacular view, keep in mind it faces the highway and is a bit noisy.
