3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2013

A reasonably, priced older motel convenient to the freeway with a Denney's restaurant next door. The receptionist was friendly, the room was clean, the heating was adequate. The rate was reasonable, and made more so by a hotel coupon from a booklet available at the restaurant.

I used to stay here on my weekly trips to La Grande until the driving job I had ended. The Manager and Staff were always very friendly. Janie always had my paperwork ready for me when I walked though the door, who could ask for more, right. Then my big stupid mouth got in the way, I said something to... More

We are originally from La Grande and have stayed at this hotel for family and business trips multiple times a year. I was willing to put up with the outdated rooms, horribly uncomfortable beds, making out the conversation in the next room and loud road noise, for the sake of convenience (only having one vehicle, wanting Shari's within walking distance)....

Due to a family illness, we've stayed in Lagrande hotels recently. The Sandman and Super 8 were both noise and dirty. While obviously an older hotel, we found the LAGRANDE INN to be very clean. The rates were much better than the other two hotels and the staff treated us like family. Conveniently, there is a SHARI's in the same... More

Hotel was 59 bucks a night. It was obviously dated. Rooms were kind of mismatched, pretty noisy as far as voices from next room and water running. Breakfast was 2 cereals, some mini muffins, hard boiled eggs, and coffee and juice. I'd stay here again but only if it was just me or a guys trip and only because I... More
