"Our last stop on a Tigard-OR around Mt. Rushmore-SD road trip, and was actually kind of a fluke. With an extra day to play with, we decided to stop in Pendleton on the way home from Boise ID.
Great decision, and this place was *perfect*. All the basics covered, clean bed and bathroom, well appointed, easy parking, walking distance to downtown restaurants/shopping/etc.
But honestly, and am not being hyperbolic, this is one of the best remodels I have ever seen (believe this used to be a Travelodge). Not just ultra-new feeling, but whoever designed this really knew what they were doing. Better half loved the accent walls and photography, and I loved functional details like the towel racks under the sink, handsoap/lotion bottles affixed to the wall. A very small room/space that had so much efficiency. So well done, can't overstate it.
Then there's the morning coffee, which is as advertised (excellent). The staff, A+ wonderful. And they even have an adorable "guard" dog, Astro.
We will definitely come back to Pendleton, and we won't consider any other place to stay."
