Even though it's taken me a year since our stay at the Rugged Country Lodge to write this review, I definitely didn't forget our nice stay there. It was a welcoming, spotlessly clean, attractive property with the softest, fluffiest towels we've ever had the pleasure of using. A varied, quality continental breakfast was served in one of two small, charmingly... more

My husband and I stayed in The Rugged Country Lodge September of 2007. I was born and raised in Pendleton and remember this when it was the old highway motel. It has come a long,long way from when I was a child. The room was very clean and fresh looking. I love the lavender on the bed. It was nice... more

We stayed at the Rugged Country Lodge last night, June 27. Everything everyone says below is true, except we did get the fresh banana bread :) This place is more like a B&B than a motel in it's level of customer service, decor, and breakfast. I was amazed at the landscaping, hanging baskets, the homemade cookies, cinnamon buns, fresh-made fruit... more

We were in Pendleton for a quick last-minute trip. Originally we planned on staying at a franchise hotel, but all they had to offer were smoking rooms. Not Acceptable!. I looked through Trip Advisor and saw The Rugged Country Lodge was rated #1 in town, so I checked out their website. Honestly, it sounded almost too good to be true,... more

This hotel is wonderful. My husband and I were very dubious until we arrived. It is very quaint, well kept and the staff were wonderful at check in and check out. There were fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the office. We booked a single. It is small, however we knew better than to expect a room as large as... more

My husband and I stayed here for our third annaversary. We loved it. The staff was wonderful. They made our stay extra special by putting fresh cookies and chocolates in our room. After working in the hotel industry for 6 years I have high standards on cleanliness in a room and it was very clean. We had a wonderful stay... more

I just spent an enjoyable three nights at Rugged Country Lodge. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were always smiling and willing to help in anyway to ensure that I enjoyed my stay. I liked coming back to the motel after a day at the conference and having a cup of fresh coffee waiting...along with the tempting and... more

Pendleton was a good stopping spot on our roadtrip from Arizona to BC. I read the reviews on Tripadvisor and decided to give it a try. Yes, the bed was extremely comfortable and the room was very clean. When I booked I asked for a double queen and a room on the ground floor because we have a small dog.... more
