Room was very clean and comfortable. I had shampoo but no bathing soap. I made do, so it wasn't that hard to get by. The big issue I had was that I went to take a walk on the trail towards the water and stumbled onto a homeless tent. I ran back to the room and didn't feel safe enough to get out and stretch my legs. Yikes!!!

Lots of potential but...

Took 45 minutes to check in. They had a wedding party but clearly didn't staff it for the event. Went to eat at the restaurant and they said to check back in an hour and wouldn't take a name and number to let me know when a table was ready (also a staffing problem because the place wasn't full). The toilet didn't work half the time and the hot water on the shower didn't get hot. The grounds and pool were nice though.

Our room had ants in it. When I told the desk clerk about it at check out her response was oh well they're in a lot of the rooms this building and the whole town of Dallas is built on sand and everyone has ants in the Dalles. I worked as a maintenance engineer for 20 years for a 300 bed hospital. We contracted a pest control company that did routine spraying all around the outside of the building and when there was some kind of a problem inside of the building, we called them and they came out and took care of it right away. There's no excuse for ants in your building, except for?????

I would not recommend staying here. The hotel attempted some updates and improvements - but it falls short The rooms are not inviting or warm - the views are terrible (see photo). The rooms and hallway are noisy. The A/C is very loud even on low (see video) and if you then it of so you can sleep then the room gets warm and you still can’t sleep. The room is poorly lit as well. The layout of the hotel with the stairs is very poorly designed. The hotel want even fully booked and they have me a room as far as away from everything as possible and it wasn’t so I could have the nice view. They don’t appear to like to answer their front desk phone, as it rings for a while until you get a person. The staff wasn’t rude, but they also were not friendly. The outdoor hallways/stairwells are very dirty and smelly. The ice machine did not work and the door to the room hallways woodland not fully close - therefore losing the security aspect of the inside doors along with the need for a key - anyone could have gotten in. Also the sink faucet only turned all the way off if you forced it. And unfortunately my phone and watch did not charge during the night because the outlets in the lamp did not work. This was very annoying mainly for my watch not getting charged (my phone I can easily charge in the car.) I would not recommend staying here nor would I stay here again. For the price I expected much better and was very disappointed.

Unfortunately, this stay was noisy due to the Columbia River dam right outside the hotel. Other than that, the stay was very nice.
