Working Girls Hotel
Established in the 1890s, this former brothel re-entered the service industry as the Working Girls Hotel in 1991, though it has cleaned up its reputation. Now it's run by Pendleton Underground Tours, so it's a one-stop shop for both history and relaxation. The hotel has five rooms --- one is a suite --- which range from $75 to $95, depending on the season. Children are not allowed because of the antiques that help create the Victorian decor bathing each room. The Working Girls Hotel is right downtown and within walking distance of dining, museums, the Umatilla River Walk Way and even an ice-skating rink in the winter. The staff can be a little hard to get ahold of at times, so if you want to stay here, you may need to be persistent.
