Stunning views of Columbia River

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 weeks agovia mobile
My husband and I stayed for one night at this lovely hotel on the Columbia River and had a wonderful experience. We were in room 201, which offered stunning views of the river. The room itself was cozy and comfortable, though the mattress springs were quite bouncy and made noise when moving around. However, the room was very quiet, which made for a peaceful stay.

The staff were incredibly welcoming upon arrival, making us feel right at home. We had dinner on the outdoor patio of the hotel restaurant, and the views were absolutely scenic. Although we were only there for one evening, we wished we could have stayed longer. Would definitely recommend this hotel for its beautiful location and warm hospitality.
Date of stay: September 2024
Room Tip: Used the ADA ramp to move luggage into the hotel as there are stairs leading into the lobby.
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

Thank you for submitting your positive review of the Inn. We wsh you could have stayed longer too. We are glad to hear your room was comfortable and quiet, and that staff was welcoming. We also appreciate you mentioning the scenic views while dining on Riverside's patio. We hope your travels will bring you back for another stay sometime.

    Nice view of the river, helpful staff, nice landscaping, good parking...but our room smelled of cigarettes although advertised as non-smoking. This is not uncommon in U.S. hotels and motels but is disappointing in a room that costs $300 a night.

    Room tip: Be sure to understand the housekeeping routine. The dard in the room can be read two ways.

    We apologize for any cigarette smell in a non-smoking room. I assure you this is a very rare issue for us. Our housekeeping staff should detect and deal with it, but that is a difficult odor to remove entirely. Again, our sincere apologies. We are sorry it spoiled what sounds like was otherwise a fine stay.

    This is a great location! Shares a parking lot with Starbucks, McDonald’s and a convenient store for any forgotten items.

    Room was clean, large and had a great view of the river.

    Bed was comfortable and TV was huge! Bathroom had 2 sinks, plenty of towels and great pressure in the large shower.

    Front desk, housekeeping and servers at the restaurant were all friendly and helpful.

    Room tip: Ask for a room in the east wing. West wing is noisy from the highway

    I booked 2 suite rooms with balconies, when we walked out on one of the balconies it was covered in large spiders. Obviously it had not been cleaned. They were on the lights, walls, outdoor table and chairs. We immediately went inside and found a large spider inside the curtain to the balcony. We called the front desk and they sent up maintenance with a broom.
    We had not taken any of our stuff to the room yet so we went to the other room and called the front desk and asked them to please move us from the spider room.
    We had our non-verbal autistic grandson with us, which she could hear while I was on the phone, he was getting very upset by all the room changes and commotion on trying to decide what to do. He just wanted to get to bed. We were told that if we could keep him quiet they could move us to an executive suite. I’m sorry but we can’t control his sweet noises. It was about 9:30 pm and the rest of my family was already sleeping. So we blew up an air bed we had in the car, and stayed in the room not infested.
    When we woke up we discovered a dead spider on the window. Chips were under table once we moved it. Cobwebs in corner of bedroom doors. The deck did have some spiders and webs but nothing like the first room.
    When checking out. They acted like they did me a favor by refunding me for the room we couldn’t sleep in!
    I was so offended by the comment regarding my grandson, I didn’t want to stay. The room was dirty and the other room was infested with spiders. We asked to talk to the manager and left our phone number but no one has contacted us.

    We appreciate your feedback about your recent experience. We are experiencing a high volume of guests due to the busy season. We apologize for not being able to offer you an alternative room. Unfortunately, our Executive Level rooms are on a designated quiet floor and do not allow children or pets.

    We apologize for the circumstances. We have addressed the professionalism and understanding of our Front Desk staff in handling situations like this. Your feedback during your stay also allowed us to address the issues with our Housekeeping department right away

    We thank you for bringing these matters to our attention and apologize for the trying experience.

    What a great place to stop for the night! I'm just sorry I only stayed 1 night.

    Check in was quick and smooth.

    I stayed in a king room (no pets) with a view of the Columbia River on the third floor. My room had a balcony as well as a fireplace. My room was clean, quiet and very comfortable. The room was oversized, too.

    There is a restaurant (Riverside) near the lobby of the hotel. Admittedly, I did not eat dinner here. I did, however, eat breakfast here. My breakfast was "comped" due to my status with Best Western. A simple 2 egg breakfast with toast and breakfast potatoes is about $12. There are other items on the menu to select from as well. Breakfast was OK. Room service is also available.

    Check out was fine.

    All employees that I encountered were very nice. I would absolutely stay here again!

    Room tip: Request a room with a river view, you won't be disappointed!
