Hotel Motel Parking Lot Striping in La Grande, Oregon: 2026 Service Guide

Striping a Hotel or Motel in La Grande

A lodging lot is the first and last thing a guest touches. They roll in tired off the interstate, and the lot has to make the next two minutes easy: an obvious path to the lobby canopy, a clear place to drop bags, a stall that fits whatever they are driving — which, off I-84, might be a passenger car, a fifth-wheel, or a tour bus. The next morning the same lot has to load them back out cleanly. When it is unmarked, guests block the canopy, oversized vehicles take three stalls, and the staff lot fills with cars that should be out front.

Cojo Excavation & Asphalt stripes hospitality properties across Union County. La Grande hotels and motels along Adams Avenue and near the I-84 interchanges sit on a major Eastern Oregon travel corridor, drawing road-trippers, RV travelers, and tour groups crossing the Grande Ronde Valley. That traffic mix is the whole striping challenge: standard guest parking, oversized stalls for RVs and buses, a working drop-off, and EV charging, all on one lot.

What This Business Type Actually Needs

Hotel striping is about a clean arrival and room for every vehicle type. The priorities we plan around for a La Grande property:

• Guest vs staff vs valet stall split — Defined areas so guest parking stays in front and staff vehicles do not consume it.
• Oversized RV, tour-bus, and trailer stalls — Pull-through or oversized stalls sized for the big vehicles an I-84 lot regularly hosts.
• ADA lobby-canopy drop-off — An accessible drop-off under the canopy with a striped path into the lobby.
• EV-charging stall striping — Marked charging stalls that are clearly reserved and easy to find.
• Luggage-cart path — A striped route that keeps carts moving safely between the building and the vehicles.

Lodging-tax-district signage and frontage details can factor into the layout, so confirming them during a restripe is worth the few minutes.

La Grande Conditions That Affect the Work

La Grande sits at high elevation in the Grande Ronde Valley, with dry warm summers and hard freeze-thaw winters. The canopy drop-off and the lobby approach take constant slow traffic and foot crossings, so paint there fades faster than the back rows. Winter matters for a lodging lot in two ways: snow and ice mean the drop-off, ADA spaces, and path to the lobby must stay legible in poor conditions, and travelers arriving late at night in winter weather depend on clear, reflective markings.

The Adams Avenue corridor and the I-84 interchanges feed the steady travel traffic, and a lot that handles arrival smoothly shapes a guest's first impression. Older La Grande lodging lots often show worn canopy and drop-off paint, freeze-thaw cracking from the high-elevation winters, and faded oversized-stall markings. A site walk catches it all before we stripe.

What Striping a Hotel or Motel Typically Involves

Restriping refreshes the existing guest and staff areas, oversized stalls, drop-off, EV stalls, and cart paths on the current layout. New layout work — common when a property renovates, adds EV charging, or repaves — includes measuring the lot, planning the oversized-vehicle stalls, and verifying ADA compliance at the canopy.

Our parking lot striping cost in Oregon guide covers per-space and per-linear-foot baselines. Hotels use per-space pricing for guest and staff parking and linear-foot pricing for the drop-off, cart paths, and any directional arrows, with oversized stalls priced for their larger footprint.

Paint choice tracks the traffic. The canopy drop-off, ADA spaces, and EV stalls benefit from durable, high-visibility paint; the back guest rows can run standard latex. La Grande's freeze-thaw winters and the need for late-night legibility make durable paint at the entrance worthwhile. We confirm it on the walk-through.

Hidden Conditions on Lodging Lots

A few things commonly surface once striping starts on an older La Grande hotel or motel:

• Worn canopy and drop-off paint — The most-crossed zone fades first under constant arrival traffic.
• Freeze-thaw cracking — High-elevation winters open cracks near the canopy and entrance that affect adhesion.
• Faded oversized-stall markings — RV and bus stalls lose definition, and guests revert to taking multiple standard spaces.
• ADA drop-off below current standard — Older accessible drop-off and spaces may not meet today's requirements.

A site assessment catches these before they shape a guest review. We measure and walk every lodging lot rather than estimating from an aerial.

Why La Grande Hotels and Motels Work With Cojo

We stripe lodging lots for the arrival: a clean lobby-canopy drop-off, a guest and staff split that keeps the front rows open, real oversized stalls for the RVs and buses an I-84 lot draws, marked EV charging, and safe cart paths. We use durable, high-visibility paint where guests arrive late and in winter, plan around La Grande's freeze-thaw winters and short striping season, and flag pavement issues instead of painting over them.
