Beautiful. Our room was comfortable. King size bed was really good. Room was clean, no odors. The glass doors to the balcony sparkled, as did the entrance doors to the lobby. We were here for one night in the fall, and it was very quiet.

Great location right off the highway. Lots of parking. Comes with continental breakfast. There was a great selection of various foods. Yogurt, breads, spreads, scrambled eggs, sausage, tator nuggets, cereal, oatmeal, fruit, fruit juices, coffee, and hot cocoa. Breakfast area has lots of seating and a great view of a valley. Our room was in the wing allowing pets. Pet area was great. They provide poo bags and a waste container out in the lawn area. Our room was quiet and clean but parts of the room were dated. Bed was comfy and we had all the regular amenities. The exterior doors are secured with the room key. The main hotel area was nice, clean and has a full bar next to the large eating area. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This place has great rates and supports pets.

On 10/8/24, I stayed at Red Lion Hotel in Pendleton, for the third time. Although this is an older property, I like it because the rooms are comfortable, as is the bed, and the building is well constructed, ensuring I get a good nights sleep without wearing earplugs. The employees working the front desk have always been very helpful and friendly, no matter how late I rolled in. As a single female traveler, I always feel safe here. I like that it’s directly across from my favorite gas station. I’ve never had the opportunity to use the pool, but they have a nice one. You can’t beat the location, which is directly off of the freeway. You can’t beat the price either! I’ll be back. PS. I got in so late that I forgot to take photos of my room, but these are photos of the backside of the building and its surroundings.

Stayed here one night and loved it. Huge facility, they made traveling with dogs easy. Comfortable beds, plenty of pillows, large rooms, refer & micro in the room too. By no means a luxury hotel but it was clean, stocked well, had some HBO going on and had some decent breakfast action and coffee. Front desk folks were mighty kind too

I wouldn’t call this a five-star hotel, but the place did seem fairly well kept. Aside from the cobwebs on the ceiling and the noisy bathroom fan, it was overall a pretty nice stay with a great view, and I got a good night’s sleep.

I have mixed feelings about this one because it was so good and so bad at the same time. This is a nice place that is losing money and beginning to let things go. PROS staff, big rooms and hallways, great view, mostly clean, area seem safe and quiet and it is an easy off the interstate, cheap pet fee, comfy bed CONS building is starting to look ruff and needs a reno, caulking in bathroom was dirty, no restaurant, no breakfast and the side door security lock did not work. If you need a clean reasonable quiet comfy place for the night, this is a good place. I hope they see better days because overall it's nice.

Room 273. Spacious room. Clean... didn't inspect too close. Quiet room. The air conditioner worked well. Older hotel, which was just fine with me. Big parking lot.
