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

A room with a great view. Breakfast gets a C, but it filled us up enough the make it to lunch. Dog friendly.easy access parking which was nice because we’re on a long road trip with lots of stuff to cart back and forth. Would definitely stay here again.

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.

The bed was very comfortable, and room was nice enough, but there was a musty smell, like it was a smoking room at one time. Coffee maker did not work, and that goodness I had ear plugs as you could hear freeway and traffic all night. Breakfast was fine.

Initially unimpressed by old fashioned motel style. Didn’t realize The Dalles OR was such an industrial area. However it provided a decent place to stay with a very basic breakfast. Places for dinner were a couple of miles away.
