The bad part is that the property is kind of hard to get to. Having said that, the staff was very friendly and helpful. My view of the Columbia River was great. The breakfast was simple but very good. I would stay there again when i would visit The Dalles again.

This was a stopover on our way back home. Two things bothered me: there were several spiders and spiderwebs in the room, and the fridge wasn't working properly, freezing everything inside. On the bright side, the bed was comfortable.

We loved staying here. We only stayed for one night, and we did not score one of the river view rooms. We recommend to ask for a top room as you can hear people walking in the rooms above. But, the facilities very clean, the staff super friendly. The snacks, food and drinks worked out great for us. Plus, the life music on the patio a huge bonus. Totally recommend sraying here!!
