Great customer service from front desk, restaurant, housekeeping. I do wish the air conditioner worked better. We had it on the lowest "55" but it blew hot air.

Suites nice, but annoying check in.
First checkin, the window shade was broken in the otherwise nice suite. I was temporarily charged more for a downgrade replacement room (the non suite rooms are not nice). That room also had a broken window shade. The third room was back in a suite, and was very comfortable. This process was ridiculous though.

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.

This was our kind of place - large room, comfortable bed, refrig, microwave, good sized tv and centrally located to spectacular opportunities in nature. It was nicely updated and very clean and comfortable.

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.

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.

Staff was great, friendly, informative. The Portage Grill inside the hotel was excellent. The hostess seated us promptly, the bartender was our waitress (sorry I did not get her name) but she was very attentive and the drinks were excellent. She made a very good Old Fashioned!! The food was excellent, but most of all the service was top notch, only to be topped by the view of the Columbia River/The Dalles Dam! Thank you everyone for a most enjoyable 2-day stay!
