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.

We checked in @ 3pm and the room they assigned us was not ready when we pulled up to the room. Had to go back to the office to be reassigned to any room. Bathroom door does not close and blood stained sheet on our bed. Told front desk and she just said they will let housekeeping know. We have stayed here probably at least 4 times over the last 4 years. Very bad experience this time and hurts to have to pay for this.

Hotel stay

The room was great, but the food wasn't that great. The bread fell apart because it was stale. The lady working the desk in the morning didn't speak or understand English very well. In fact, a guest called in asking if there was an EV charging station and she didn't understand. The guest ended up just hanging up the phone.

Nice overnight

The location of the hotel itself provides an awesome view of the river and dam. The building is dated but well maintained. Getting to the hotel requires going through the outskirts/industrial area but overall worth the effort.

It was a very basic room, adequate for our needs. The only real issue was a very strong pine soll like smell when entered. We turned on bathroom fan and closed the door, it seemed to help

We have stayed at quite a few motels during our Canadian/US roadtrip and this motel is right up there as one of our favourites. The rooms were clean and tidy, after a long days drive we were happy to order a freshly made pizza with some cool drinks and sit on the patio and enjoy the view over the river. A really special little gem.
