Fodor's Expert Review MotoLodge

310 SE Dorion Ave., Pendleton, Oregon, 97801, USA

An old, rundown motel was reborn in 2022 as a hip motor lodge with attractive, minimalist rooms in black-and-white decor, supercomfortable beds, big-screen streaming TVs, and cool amenities—including a year-round hot tub and Pendleton Whisky barrel sauna. There's convenient parking right outside your room and downtown is just a 5-minute walk. While there are no eateries on site, rooms have mini-fridges for stashing your snacks and beverages. Off-season rates can be below $100, making this an affordable getaway for a no-frills but very comfortable stay.

PROS

  • seasonal outdoor pool
  • free coffee in the morning and free beer or wine at check-in
  • very pet-friendly, even has a pet wash station

CONS

  • chromecast TV system can be confusing
