The hotel likes a hidden gem. From a window of my room, I can see a stunning view of mountains, Columbia river, dam the Dalles and part of city view. Room is clean, breakfast is not special but good enough for starting a new day, friendly front desk service. My husband and I are happy to find this hotel in the last minute.

The only inconvenience was the only ice machine was located in the lobby, it wasn't a big problem but it would have been nice for it to be closer. The staff was very polite, I only needed help for a couple of things and they took care of them quickly. If I had to find a negative regarding my stay it would be the speed bumps on the road to the motel, I realize those were put in by the people who own homes on the road, probably because people drove too fast and they are very effective, you have to almost be stopped and ease over them or they will rattle your teeth.

The view of The Dalles Dam is nice. They had live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights. Pleasant surprise. Wine/beer for purchase.Breakfast was decent and rooms clean and comfortable bed. View from the room lacked even though we had the river side. I did use the single washer and dryer.
