Red Lion Hotel Pendleton

I loved staying here on road trip back to Washington from Texas in June, 2021. Is it in perfect condition, no. Is it up-to-date, no. Was everything closed, yes. But here's why I still loved it -- it reminded me of the hotels I stayed at on road trips when I was a kid. When was the last time you stayed at a hotel with a balcony?!? (wish it had chairs -- we stood and drank coffee while we watched the birds swooping around in the morning). And the view of the hills in the distance over the grounds -- beautiful! The hotel was very quiet (probably very few guests) when we stayed, and my husband and I enjoyed exploring the building and the grounds. Our room was comfortable and clean -- the furniture was dated but wasn't worn. All the staff we encountered were friendly. This place has SO MUCH potential to be more than it currently is with the interest in the mid-century/retro life. The surrounding businesses and highway proximity may be out of the owners' control -- but I hope the vintage style is allowed to shine because from the pool side, you can forget everything else and focus on the view and the grounds (was there at one point an amphitheater?). It could be an amazing weekend getaway spot.

Lovely room, looked clean. I would only suggest they fix the broken part of the Ceiling in the bathroom. The hotel over all is very nice, not the newest but I enjoyed having the sliding glass door for easy access with my dogs. We appreciated the trashes outside to toss our dog's mess in. And a well lit parking lot. Staff were very nice and if we passed through again we would stay here again. My kids enjoyed it and the beds are comfortable.

Loved our week there. My was entering a hospital there and we were staying for a while. Town was great, lots of shops. But the Red Lion was amazing. The restaurant was closed at the time we were there, Wich was one of the reasons to stay there. I took photos of the walls and halls of the hotel. I had quite the history. Stay a day or so just to be pampered. Staff was excellent, rooms were lg, clean, great views . We ordered Door Dash from Shari's Restaurant, which was so, very ,very good
