I had a fantastic experience at the Red Lion Inn & Suites La Pine! The room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable — everything felt clean and well-maintained. The bed was cozy, the Wi-Fi was reliable, and I appreciated the little touches like the in-room coffee and toiletries.
The front desk staff were friendly, welcoming, and made check-in a breeze. I also really appreciated how quiet the property was at night — perfect for a restful sleep after a long day on the road.
Location-wise, it’s ideal — close to restaurants, gas stations, and easy highway access, but still felt private and peaceful. Parking was easy, and I felt safe and secure during my entire stay.
If you're passing through Central Oregon or planning outdoor adventures nearby, I highly recommend staying here. Great value for the price, and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

This place was horrible. Luckily I didn’t stay because the experience with the front desk lady was enough to change my mind. Every single other 1 star review is accurate and the owner replies I bet are a complete lie. Me and my buddy are young guys and our car broke down. She tried billing us an extra $200 after we made the reservation with priceline for $200. Claiming we bought a promotion price that is no longer happening. Never stay here ever. Reading all these other reviews now makes sense. Message to the owner: Sell the place while you can still get some profit you shouldn’t be in this business.

Hotel is ran as badly as people are reporting. Seems like management wants to run it into the ground or collect as many bad reviews as possible.

We booked two nights at this Motel through Agoda. We arrived at 2pm, and the Hispanic lady at the front desk said you are early. I said OK I will come back. She offered to do the paperwork, but i said will do when I come back. I requested a down stairs room , as I am 73 years old with bad knees. At that point, she become quite argumentative. I said her response would be reflected on a future review. At that point she refused us a room altogether. She contacted Agoda, and inferred that we refused the room. Incorrect!! Not a good experience. We went down the road and acquired a room at Best Western for a similar price. So much better than the Red Lion. Beware folks, Red Lion Inn LaPine nasty people.

By far the funniest thread of reviews I've ever read. The lack of accountability the staff members display when responding to the customer reviews is comical. All the gaslighting should be criminal. There needs to be an investigation done on this place 😆😆😆

I warned my cousins not to stay here! Edit: my cousins had called in a reservation, had the numbers, dates, etc. When they arrived at the Red Lion, desk person said there was no name, no reservation, no receipt of payment. There are a lot of stories about this place, owners need to pay attention.

This was the worse experience I booked a hotel room with a 3rd party online booking company and they charged my debit card and when I went inside the hotel office the old lady said I was not allowed to smoke in my room I said no problem I will smoke in my car and she said that isn’t allowed and I said that’s bullshit and then she said she would not let me have a room there because I said a bad word. She called the cops on me and I didn’t get back my $117 that I already paid online Warning !!!!don’t stay here if you want to have a smoke in your car .!!!

I would give it a 0 but they don't have that option. I'm not just upset because they overcharged me. They are going to scam you!!!! Deposits and surprise charges. Do give them your bank or card information. I reserved the room through Priceline. Then when I checked in the Red Lion charged my card twice that amount in deposits. They told me I would receive my deposit and then told Priceline I ruined 8 towels. There weren't 8 towels in the room. I checked into. Queen for 2 people and they gave me 2 towels. They must have gotten upset that I requested a couple more towels. If you're thinking about staying here. My advice is to keep driving because the Red Lion in La Pine is scamming people out of a lot of money.

It's not very nice especially for the price. You can hear the train all day and night. Tiny toilets and you have to hold the handle down for it to flush. I'm disabled and had to pay extra for a ground floor. The desk worker came to my room after check in wanting to write my credit card info down on a piece of paper. Said it was for the security deposit for my 2nd night. I think the bbb should look into this place. Watch out for fire ants also.
An absolute disaster of a location. I woke up to a vagrant going through the fridge in my room. When I let the front desk know about the situation they told me it's a quote "normal" thing; and that they've had a few squatters and burglaries in recent times but that it's not a big deal. They even said the staff sometimes leave food in the rooms for them. They offered to take $20 off my already ridiculous $300 room cost for a single bed. This was the only available option and I will never be coming here again!

This MOTEL is very expensive for very little. Room access from parking lot, NOISY with traffic and vehicles in the parking lot, hard to sleep. No place to sit for your continental breakfast which is a very slim selection of cereals across from the registration desk.

Google maps said the price was $140. When I went to check in the price was all of a sudden $200 with an AARP card. This hotel was a rip-off there were hardly any other bookings in the hotel and now I know why when they bait and switch. Also the day before the lady told me that the price was $250 I don't care you see the pictures those rooms are not even worth $70.

Stopped here for an out of town job for work and found multiple bed bugs in my room. There were at least 3 that I found. 2 were alive and 1 was dead. Bed bugs can be pretty hard to find and I almost missed them. They were on the wood frame below the box spring and mattress. Attached to this review are 2 photos I took in the room of the bed bugs that were alive. On top of it, the person at the front desk claimed my coworker and I damaged property while we were searching for bed bugs. We were careful the entire time and respected the property like it was our own. Wish I would’ve gotten photos to prove we didn’t do any damage to anything. Never have had any issues like this with any hotel that I’ve stayed at. Stay away.

We stopped here hoping to get a handicap room on the lower level. They do not have rooms for the disabled. They had a worker using the handicap parking spot. Due to fires in the area most hotels were full. I found the red lion online offering rooms for $135 for signal beds and $209 for double beds. After arriving the clerk charged $279 for the single room and $307 for the double bed room. After talking to other guests in the hotel. We realized they were upping the price to take advantage of the victims displaced by the fires. This makes me sick. How can people take advantage of people during a disaster? I will never stay at this location ever again and they should be arrested for price gouging and taking advantage of fire victims.
