Great stay!!
We had a very nice time in Pendleton and The Rugged Country Inn didn’t disappoint! It was clean, comfortable, and cozy w a really good TV to watch football at night! The breakfast was simple but very adequate and the staff were friendly and helpful! Would recommend any time!

Off the beaten path.
This hotel is slightly off the freeway but well worth the effort. They are reasonable, clean and friendly. The bed and pillows are comfortable. I slept 7.5 hours last night. They also have a variety of breads and cereal for breakfast.

Better than we even expected
This place was a great stay. Quaint and close to a lot of the things we wanted to see. Super friendly and helpful staff. Felt like a European hotel. Loved the fact they had a real key for the room. The bed was really comfortable too. Definitely a place I would stay again.

Comfy, Not Fancy
This is a nice family run hotel reminiscent of those in Europe. It’s older and not at all new, but very clean and comfortable and the hosts are so kind. Will stay again,

Great place, great price
Great place for the price. Room was very clean. The employees were very friendly and helpful. The Breakfast offered was pretty basic but clean and fresh. The only complaint, although it was a nice mattress, room stated queen bed but pretty sure the bed was a full size. For a quick stay in Pendleton this is a solid option.

Wow! This small but amenable lodge was far superior to chain hotel/motel places we have stayed at during our road trip. Clean, comfortable, friendly.... what a difference! Did I mention clean, comfortable and friendly... let's add safe, quiet, and homey! Time for breakfast!

The only thing missing was a place my dog could go potty. I wish they could clean up dining room no earlier than 9:30 and coffee was gone by 9am. I thought owner was very nice and had done an excellent job with the renovations.
