Were it not for Hotels.com I wouldn't have considered this location. While there were a few issues with the room those did not deter from the evaluation. The room was very clean. Although it was one of the smaller options it provided a great space after a day of traveling.

Lisa does it all from check-in to making breakfast to cleaning up after it, and she does it well. You can order french fries, chicken strips and a few other items but the nearest restaurant is about 1/2 mile away. Bring quarters if you plan to use the 1 washer and dryer. If you’re a big TV fan, I’d ask about that. I believe it’s a smart TV and the non-WiFi channel guide doesn’t give show info. At least I didn’t figure it out. WiFi was fine for iPad streaming. You can tell there is pride of ownership from the extra amenities in the room (iron/board, hairdryer, mini fridge and microwave, etc). The pool looked clean and inviting. A good, comfortable, quiet 2 nights with excellent service. I’d stay again.

They have done some nice work with this property, but the small things add up. My room was very small, with no desk, and a sticky top to the dresser, which I had to clean. Also, the lock to the room was finicky and staff were unhelpful in solving that issue.

This is a unique hotel with an updated retro vibe. It was easy to get to and the people were great. We enjoyed an evening of live jazz on the patio with stunning views of the setting sun over the Columbia River. And here’s a bonus - you can see Mt Hood from the northernmost side of the patio. This is a hidden gem.

Pit stop on the way home

The room was clean, but very small. The bed was not bad. It is an older place and not really near anything, but we were just there for the night on our way home so it worked for us and was fairly priced.

This property is unique. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Columbia River and The Dalles dam, the view from our room was awesome. The dam was lit at night with red, white and blue lights. The room looked recently renovated, well done. Although the train runs below it, we did not hear the trains at night. There's a restaurant (limited menu) and full bar for those weary travelers not wishing to go in search of other options. The best part was listening to Al Hale play guitar and sing on the patio while we ate our pizza and had drinks and watched the sunset over the river. Our one and only issue was that the sheet and mattress pad would not stay in place on the bed!
