Nice view! Beautiful sunrise

The good: rooms were clean, plenty of parking, good view of the dam and sunrise, great blackout curtains, ac worked (though noisily), room had a mini fridge and microwave, coffee maker and a few pods. Very kid friendly place - we didn’t get try the pool because it was too cold for our liking but we saw several families out there for a bit. There’s a few really nice looking fire pits with chairs all around and a grill to use as well. The bad: our room was right next to a hallway door and all night long it was very loudly slamming shut from other guests, waking us up repeatedly. A slow close door is a simple fix that would’ve made our stay a solid 5 stars! Our bathroom fan didn’t work. Definitely not a huge issue but when staying in a small room with 4 people, it’s noticeable when its not there. There is no elevator and they had no ground floor rooms available, even for a disabled guest checking in before us. Check in was sloooooow. One person working for a 4pm check in is just not enough. Overall our stay was fairly pleasant and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again for the price we paid.

Does not have breakfast included, this is one of the main reasons I went with this site. The first room we were given had no shower curtain in it and fire alarm was chirping in the hallway. The area around the hotel by the river has homeless people camping out and there was a lot of broken glass everywhere.

Staff was very attentive and went above and beyond. Room was very large and accommodating. The restaurant staff was very helpful and the food was very good. We could not use the pool due to weather but it looked inviting and clean. Plenty of parking and a quiet location on the edge of town. Will stay here again on our next visit.

Won’t stay again

Decided to give this hotel a shot over my usual places in the Dalles. Booked a king suite with a pool view. When I checked in, I got a king suite, but with no view let alone a pool view. The gal at desk initially was very nice, but seemed annoyed when I went back down and questioned my reservation. Telling me all she had were two queens with a pool view. So I took it. No apology, no rate adjustment. I was now paying the Suite rate for a standard two queen room. The room itself had issues with the toilet flushing and it stopping, the screen door to the balcony was stuck and very hard to open or close. The restaurant, the food was decent, the staff was friendly, but they seemed to struggle if they got rushed and would ignore people who stood there waiting to be seated. It was honestly very disappointing and I will not be staying their again.
