Holiday Inn Express Pendleton

Not new, but clean. $ 20 pet fee, or if you want to avoid all pets you can book a third floor room where they never allow pets. The first room had a funk, so we asked to switch and it was no problem. The 2^nd room was clean and funk free. Slept like a baby.
Word of advice: I was coming cross country from the East and needed to make up some time, so I decided we would push through and drive a little longer. What I didn’t take into account was the freaking mountain pass just outside of town that I had to go through, in the dark, while it was raining, and with fog at the summit. It was the most terrifying driving I’ve ever done and I was shaking when I rolled into town. Just keep it in mind.

When we first walked in, we were greeted by a very friendly women at the front desk. She got us all set up in our room very quickly, she was so sweet and helpful. Our room was wonderful. The room was very clean and spacious. Some people have commented on the decore of the room as being out dated, our room was very updated and modern. The bed was super comfy, I like having the choice of a firm or soft pillow, and you get 2! The breakfast was very good for a hotel breakfast. You are given a lot of choices. Biscuits and gravy, omelettes, pancakes, cereal, oatmeal… and more. The cinnamon rolls were not my favorite, we came down close to the end of breakfst service so they may have been better if they were more fresh.
We really liked this hotel and would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Convenient location, great price, great breakfast and Mike and his wife (owners) are great to work with. We stay here every year during Round Up. As busy as they are during this time, they always make you feel special.

We stopped here for an overnight stay on our road trip. Everyone was nice and friendly! They also allow pets which was great! The room was nice and clean. They also have a nice continental breakfast which offered a lot more choices then a lot of places. A little pricy but for me it was worth it!

Dog friendly… The room was sorta small, but it fit two queen size beds, two people, two dogs and a cat… so that said, it worked really well for us. The room was clean, and the hotel itself backs up to a big open area, so the view is pretty. There is also plenty of space to walk the dogs. We didn’t even bother with the breakfast because it didn’t look to good, so we went into town and found a Starbucks for coffee. I liked the Holiday Inn Express better than some other places we stayed on our trip, it was totally functional. And, it offered lotion, with the shampoo and conditioner, which I just found out on this trip, doesn’t always happen at the price point I am traveling at. Small thing, but I couldn’t find mine, so I was dependent on the motel/​hotels providing it.

This place was nice on the outside but for the price you pay the rooms its not worth the stay. Our shower floor creaked, we could hear the people upstairs walking (stomping), we could hear the people in the room next to us perfectly.
They did offer a pretty good complimentary breakfast that was a nice surprise.

Great front desk staff that greeted us with a smile and dog treats on the cusp of o-​dark-​thirty.
The room was on the first floor right by the door and was almost perfectly quiet… except for the fire door.
The door has a tight recall and slams shut with a metal on metal bang that could wake the dead.
I would stay there again if we did not have our dogs and did not need to be close to an exterior door.
The common areas look freshly made over… too bad they didn’t install a quieter door option. then this would have been a perfect first night on our cross country drive.
