Nice clean, modern room. Unfortunately we were close to a conference room that was hosting prom or some sort of graduation party and was loud down the hall and could hear kids outside until about midnight. Other than that was a nice place. Would stay again.

Overall, this hotel is quite nice. It is conveniently located and has helpful staff, views of the Columbia River & a dam on the river (nothing spectacular, but enjoyable enough), a pleasant lounge, and a decent connected restaurant/bar. The arrangement in our room was well-designed, and the bed was quite comfortable. The room itself was exceptionally well-insulated from outside noise, and I would have given a higher rating if the heater/air conditioner wasn't so noisy.

Overall was a good price and a comfortable stay with clean room. They clearly have remodeled the room, except for the toilet/shower room which was rundown and had a very strange faucet, but functional. The sink area outside the toilet/shower room was updated and nice, as well as the rest of the room, and the bed was good. Only improvement I'd recommend for the room is that it could use blackout curtains as a lot of light came through, plus the parking lot area was a bit noisy. They also beautifully remodeled the lobby. Restaurant on site has nice view and service was very good, but salad and prime rib we had were mediocre.
