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.

The accommodations are comfortable and clean. Staff friendly and efficient! The only problem encountered was there’s no elevator anywhere on site. I have MS and hiking up and down the stairs was more of a physical challenge than I care to encounter again.

Not happy
They were short staffed so we couldn’t check-in. They said they would call and no call. Customer service was poor and bathroom was dirty with hair everywhere. There was a bag chips broken up in front of the door.

Controls not working
First room: TV did not work; AC had fan on HI even when turned off! Desk clerk tried to fix both then gave us a different room. Second room: TV worked but AC didn’t. Shower temp didn’t adjust. Bath exhaust fan sometimes worked with switch, other times didn’t shut off with switch

The hotel was pretty good. But were told their breakfast was “unavailable” when we arrived. When traveling with kids, having continental breakfast is a must for us. Having to find somewhere for breakfast was very inconvenient.

The redone rooms were beautiful, and the beds were VERY comfortable. The fan stayed on all night which for me is a big deal, and the price was great. The lobby is stunning as well. Very great choice in The Dalles.

No breakfast included.
In multiple locations, a full continental breakfast was mentioned as having been included. It was a huge disappointment to learn that it was no longer an option under the new ownership. We only book hotels with breakfast included due to the rising cost of literally everything. Had I known, I would not have chosen this hotel.

Disappointing stay.
It was pretty disappointing. I called the day before to see if I could get early check in because we were going to a memorial. She said they were pretty understaffed and I understood. When we got there, we couldn’t check in early so I changed in the public bathroom. When we returned from the memorial at 4:30, we couldn’t get in our room because they were shortstaffed. We weren’t able to get into our room until 630 when we did the TV didn’t work. We also were unable to get two keys because they didn’t have enough keys to give us to. While the room was clean there just isn’t enough staff to keep this running smoothly.
