Would definitely stay here again on our travels. Beautiful view from our room of the Dalles. I loved the king bed and the large shower in the bathroom. The free breakfast in the morning was delicious and offered a good variety of things as well as delicious coffee. Everyone was so friendly and helpful too.

Room was clean and attractive with typical amenities. Shower could be remodeled. Great view of Hood River and dam! Outside areas/buildings older. Could use some landscaping/beautification.

Stayed here for a night last weekend. The view - good. What’s not obvious on their booking site is that there are 3 tiers of buildings. One with a great view. One behind that building with only a view of the parking lot. And one above and behind that with an okay view of the river but also overlooks the parking and other two buildings. My room was quite small - a bit disappointing- but all the same it was well outfitted with a TV and fridge. It also has a microwave and coffee maker. The hair dryer was not functional. My biggest complaint about the room is that it reeked of air freshener. So strong. So unpleasant. Obviously trying to cover something up. Anyway, I was really glad the window opened and it was a pleasant evening. I slept with the window open and that helped quite a bit. There was a guitarist/singer on the patio that evening which was a nice touch. While they had food for purchase, we opted for Dominos pizza. Breakfast - they had cereal, waffles, toast, yogurt which was good. They also had some packaged egg dishes still in the cellophane which wasn’t really very appetizing. While the various online sites advertised a glass of wine on arrival, my group was not offered any. For the price I paid ($170), I just expected better.

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 first impression was with the night staff that checked me in. She was very nice and smiled. The second impressive thing was even though the motel is old, don't let that get in your head. The inside is VERY nice. No it's not the 10- star Hilton but they a very nice and clean. You need to give this place a chance. The towels are nice and fluffy and the bed VERY comfortable. The gounds were quiet. The breakfast was enough for sure. The day staff was very nice as well. I would for sure stay at this place again.
