We stopped for a quick overnight on our journey home and we loved staying here! Very clean and comfortable. Our room had a queen bed and a fold out double couch bed, perfect for our little family. The innkeeper was incredibly friendly and helpful and made sure to keep the breakfast items stocked when we saw us come in. We would definitely stay here again!

It was centrally located for us which made it easy to get where we needed to go. The Pendleton Mill was a 5 minute or less drive which was nice.

Veey quaint, comfortable, quiet, and cool w/o air conditioning on 95 degree weather. I have a downstairs unit. Very nice. I haven't experienced a shower or breakfast... but so far, very nice.

This is my third stay at this charming, slightly funky hotel in Pendleton. I totally sleep like a log here; trains don’t seem to matter but the bed is very comfy, nice lighting. Very clean and bright. If you stay on the 2nd or 3rd level there’s a nice view of the hills beyond the Umatilla River. I bring my own food so make good use of the refrigerator and microwave. Love the Riverwalk which we (my dog and I ) walk to to stretch our legs before settling in this cozy hotel.

Our group arrived on motorcycles and parking was excellent. Our bikes were safe and the staff gave us towels to clean them after a long day of riding.
Check in was seamless. The breakfast was nice and lots of options; nothing special but adequate for us.
The room was clean and furniture antiquated and pretty cool. Plenty of towels and toiletries were available.
The staff gave us dining options and we chose a brewery within walking distance. The food was excellent.
I would definitely recommend this property and would stay there again.
