Great place, recently taken over by a caring couple, who remodeled everything. The town of Rufus (don't blink or you'll miss it) doesn't have a lot of services, but this non-chain motel is a fabulous value. Satellite television, WiFi Internet and in-room coffee are all there. They fill up quickly, so be sure to call for a reservation. Road noise... More

If you're looking for a clean and comfortable stop on the rural stretch of I-84, this is the place. Caring owners have poured their heart and souls into restoring this decades old property into an oasis in the Oregon desert. Regular one-queen rooms are on the small side; the cabins are the way to go if you are used to... More

We read the reviews and whenever we can support an American-owned, sole-proprietor establishment, we will always support them. Regardless of motive, this was a very clean room with a comfortable bed. The owners were wonderful. For the price, it can't be beat! We stayed at a couple of places during the rest of our trip that were double the price... More

My husband and I stayed one night while traveling. The outside of the motel is not appealing, but it is evident that it is a work in progress. The owner was very kind while taking our phone reservation and during check in. The room itself was small, but very clean with all the needed amenities, i.e., coffee, blow dryer, micro... More

What a wonderful surprise to discover such a lovely place! It's clear the owners have put heart and soul into creating a delightful experience. The rooms are thoughtfully remodeled, as well as festidiously clean! We enjoyed visiting with the owners, and they were so thoughtful to suggest places to eat in Goldendale. This is a wonderful departure from big chain... More

After spending 21 years in the trucking industry and 5 years in outside sales, I have stayed at many motels and hotels across this country. However not all places truly understand what most travelers realy want; a clean, comfortable room at an affordable price where they leave feeling "good" about their stay, not having regrets later. The owners of the... More

Rufus is tiny several streets-town 5 miles east from Biggs Junction. There are 1 restaurant, small local grocery, gas station, post office and 2 motels. Hillview Motel is beyond expectations: nicely remodeled with quality contemporary new furniture, lights and appliances, linens and towels, etc. Buildings and territory look nice. Dan, the owner, is very pleasant person. He did really good... More

Our stay with you was wonderful, comfortable and we really loved our cabin for the 5 nights we stayed. We wished we could stay another 5 nights! Perfect location for the "Maryhill Festival of Speed 2012"....just a 10 minute drive away. So comfortable are the beds and linens! Really enjoyed the garden area and the full sized BBQ for dinners.... More

My wife and I do track days on our motorcycles. Oregon Raceway Park is about 30 miles away but has VERY LIMITED motels nearby. We have stayed at Dan and Jeanie's place (the Rufus Hillview Motel) on three occasions. They make you feel like you're old friends and are extremely accommodating. Twice when we here there we were also accompanied... More
