The room was very clean and modern for an older building. The beds were very comfortable and room quiet considering how close we were to train tracks. I was surprised I did not hear my neighbors which was a bonus. The Staff were very nice and efficient during our check in. I felt very safe and comfortable walking to dinner which was close by. The surrounding neighborhood was older but very well maintained. I would recommend and definitely stay again if I’m in the area.

Expedia should make proprietors aware of customers' specific requests so they can be responded to appropriately. We were disappointed our ground floor request couldn't be fulfilled and settled for 5 steps up at the rear.

It was a bed for the night.

Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. On the whole the place could use some sprucing up. Price was right for a nights sleep at a no frills motel.

Don’t do it!

We motels stay ever! Super rude at the desk. During the day, while I was at work, they tried to enter the room without permission, the first time waking my girlfriend up from a dead sleep, standing at the foot of the bed. The sink in the bathroom would not drain. Unusable. The door had no peep holes and no way to lock it from the inside that did not involve a key. The curtains were too small for the window and you could see right into the room as you’re walking down the sidewalk. Also no icemaker that we found. Small bathroom towels.

Worst hotel stay I've ever had

Although the family running the place was really nice, this was unfortunately the worst hotel experience I've ever had. The first room they put me in was seemingly clean, but once the AC turned on, the whole room stank of feet and rot, like something died in the AC. They let me switch rooms. The second room smelled fine, but the curtains didn't fully cover the front windows, meaning bright light was shining in all night long. There was also about a one-inch gap between the bottom of the door and the jamb, which let bugs in, and by 3 AM or so the room had filled with moths and mosquitos. I checked out the next morning, and despite having reserved the room for four nights, they did not offer me a refund on the remaining three nights. I'm sorry to the family running it, but this place is just bad.

I grew up in The Dalles early’60s this motel was there then and very little signs of updates, in fact I don’t think over half of it was in service. But it was quiet safe clean enough; most people are not likely to spend more than one night perfectly adequate for that.
