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.

Would definitely stay here again on our travels. Beautiful view from our room of the Dalles. I loved the king bed and the large shower in the bathroom. The free breakfast in the morning was delicious and offered a good variety of things as well as delicious coffee. Everyone was so friendly and helpful too.

We had an incredible view of the Columbia River and The Dalles Dam. I loved the picture book in the lobby of Native Americans, of which Celilo falls where natives fished before the dam, is the namesake of the Inn.
