This is a unique hotel with an updated retro vibe. It was easy to get to and the people were great. We enjoyed an evening of live jazz on the patio with stunning views of the setting sun over the Columbia River. And here’s a bonus - you can see Mt Hood from the northernmost side of the patio. This is a hidden gem.

Pit stop on the way home

The room was clean, but very small. The bed was not bad. It is an older place and not really near anything, but we were just there for the night on our way home so it worked for us and was fairly priced.

This property is unique. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Columbia River and The Dalles dam, the view from our room was awesome. The dam was lit at night with red, white and blue lights. The room looked recently renovated, well done. Although the train runs below it, we did not hear the trains at night. There's a restaurant (limited menu) and full bar for those weary travelers not wishing to go in search of other options. The best part was listening to Al Hale play guitar and sing on the patio while we ate our pizza and had drinks and watched the sunset over the river. Our one and only issue was that the sheet and mattress pad would not stay in place on the bed!

We had a very nice Labor Day Weekend at the Celilo Inn, including an excellent Saturday night listening to live music on the patio while enjoying cocktails. The approach is a little strange---10 mph on a poorly maintained road right next to a row of houses---but this older property has been nicely updated and has wonderful views. The staff were great (another couple in our party discovered they had been given a room that hadn't been cleaned, and the problem was solved quickly and confidently). Hotel breakfast does include some protein (I'm diabetic, so this is worth mentioning to me). It is convenient to the Maryhill Museum, and an easy drive to the more heavily touristed Hood River.

Very nice staff and quiet & relaxing setting at this property. We loved that we had a parking spot in front of our door. We also love the views from our room and especially from the outdoor public access patio. Live music on the Saturday eve we stayed was very nice.

Had a lovely stay when I was in town for work. Just a short drive from their downtown, It sits along a very small road just near the outskirts of town. Rooms were clean and serviced daily, staff was very welcoming and friendly. Definitely will stay there again when working in the area.
