Shower could have used a cleaning. It is old, so maybe the floor won't come clean anymore.
Well kept motel on a hill above the Columbia River. Motel staff was great, room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast was decent and breakfast room has a beautiful view. Four stars because of the freeway noise.
Darling little Motel. It seems taken care of with love. Very clean and spacious room. A wonderful view of the dam and river. The simple breakfast was easy.

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.
The room was clean. Parking was convenient. Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy our own hors d'oeuvres and wine,/beer on the beautiful patio overlooking the Columbia River. Thank you for the coupons to some of the museums!
I stay here 4 times a year. Is just so comfortable. A beautiful view. And Jonny and Iamara are the most welcoming and friendly people! And they are very helpful too! They welcome me by my name! You will not regret staying here. And they have a great wintertime deal when you book direct!
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.
