The Dalles Inn

— Reasonably-​priced hotel in the heart of The Dalles.
— Very nice accommodations. We lacked nothing in the room and it was quiet.
— Solid breakfast on the second floor. We really like that they use ceramic cups and dishes instead of the disposable variety everyone else uses. Yay environment!
— Nice folks at the desk.
— Quick maintenance service. When we got to the room, the smoke alarm was chirping from a low battery. Within ten minutes after we called to the front desk, it was attended to.
— $ 10 off with Unilocal check-​in.
— Note that they do have two buildings: the nice hotel-​style building in front, and a less nice motel-​style one out back. My review might be different had we been relegated to the latter.
Highly recommended if you get a room in the main building.

Nice place to stay. They have one treadmill and a couple basic weight machines. Great location and clean rooms.

We stayed here on the spur of the moment after a snowstorm out of nowhere made for tough going on I-​84. The bad weather was fortuitous; The Dalles is one of the most charming towns in the Northwest, and The Dalles Inn one hell of a good value. Well appointed rooms at a decent price right in the middle of a genuine downtown.

Nice room with 2 queen beds, all to myself. I found the staff to be very nice. Caught them decorating the lobby for Christmas. That was fun.
The complimentary breakfast is better than most inexpensive hotels. I was very satisfied, even for a mostly Paleo eater.

High quality lodging in downtown. Helpful staff, comfortable beds, solid soundproofing; all with a good price. Staff were helpful too.

Disappointed pretty much sums it up.
I chose this place because I was under the impression it was a «downtown» style hotel– all in one building, multiple floors, elevators. They also market themselves as a «nice» establishment. Well, here we sit in an out building that feels like it was once a motel 6 or something. Which hey, if you’re a motor inn, that’s great. But don’t pretend to be a downtown hotel.
The good:
The bed was comfortable and the sheets and blankets smelled/​looked clean.
It’s within walking distance of several restaurants.
The bad:
The bathroom desperately needs to be remodeled. The discolored caulk in the tub, the dingy light switches, and my god the carpet. The carpet turned our socks black.
The ugly:
My sweetie banged her ankle on some metal thing protruding from the bed frame (see photo)
I guess if I had picked this place because I got a good deal on a travel website I wouldn’t be so bummed. But I chose this place and I was expecting a lot more.

Our room was clean and nice, and service was good. It was a good place for the price, and I would stay here again. I took off one star because the breakfast was pretty lacking, and the wifi was really terrible. But overall, it was a good place to stay, right in the middle of downtown The Dalles, next to lots of beautiful old buildings.

Clean and friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel. Staff was excellent. Room remodeled. very pleased

Old antiquated motel style… Filthy bathtub… Room size very motel 6 size small, yet call they them suits… Dogs allowed to disturb adjoining rooms… Floor squill real bad… Not worth the $xxx.xx we paid to spend the night here… Do yourself a favor skip this one…

Super friendly staff, and dog friendly too!
We came through town on a weekend with our two small pups and were given a great rate with a complementary dog basket. Simple updated rooms, nice and clean with wifi and cable.
Check out the neighboring Clock Tower Ales restaurant and ask about the rich albeit creepy history. Can’t wait to visit again when we have more time.

Older independent hotel, but very good upgraded rooms. Just a cut above motel 6 & super 8, IMHO. The hotel receptionist are usually friendly smiling positive ladies. Rates are very reasonable too.

My elderly mother and I had a wonderful stay here on our way to the coast from Utah. The rooms were clean, newly appointed with lovely linens and ultra comfortable mattresses. Service from front desk was very helpful, both before we arrived and on check in. I find one of the most important contacts is that initial phone call, and we were treated very professionally, welcomed to the Dalles before we even arrived. We loved we were given a nice discount as well.
Our stay was quiet, we both slept like logs, and the breakfast was one of the best. I do appreciate the fresh, make your own waffles. along with the usual fare of yogurt, fresh fruit, breads and bagels, cereals, 3 types of fresh juices and hot drinks. The breakfast room is splendid with nice sunshiney windows over the old fashioned downtown main street. There are nice comfortable booths in the breakfast room, and it was fun socializing with a few guests there. I only wish we would have arrived in the daytime, and not had to leave so rapidly. It is the perfect spot to be able to wander the old historic main street. We both enjoyed this small hotel, and felt safe and well looked after.

Room was clean and has a lot of extra room amenities but the air conditioner barely works. Would stay here again if the Celilo Inn was full.

We wanted to stay at the eastern end of the gorge so we’d have a full day to drive west. We found The Dalles Inn on Unilocal and a great rate on
about two hours before we arrived. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The room was fine, the beds comfortable, and the bathroom and shower clean. The room was not set-​up for working — no convenient outlets and the wired Internet outlet in the middle of a wall, nowhere near power. The TV was an old tube-​type, and an actual DVD player — I haven’t seen one of those in years! We don’t use the TV, so no problem, just a little dated. The breakfast was ok — I think I was just burned out on continental breakfasts. We would stay here again.

Meh. Hard bed, pool closed and no roll aways. But the coffee way good.
It’s ok, but we’ll stay some where else next time.

We arrived late the night of Dec 18^th. We were assigned a room, card keyed in, opened the door and woke up an occupant who jumped out of bed with a Unilocal in their undies. Shocked ourselves, we shrieked and quickly closed the door. With both parties successfully freaked out and embarrassed, we retreated to reception.
Reception was angry with herself more than apologetic and offered us the room next door. I politely asked not to share a wall with the naked guy we just woke up.
Mistakes do happen, but this is Hotel Management 101 here folks. One should know who is occupying what (or at least what is occupied). Underwear guy — I hope you asked for a refund for your stay.
Feel free to treat this review as hopefully a one off. Otherwise the room itself was pretty good for the price.
Hotel owner, get your night staff a training refresher course.

It’s no Westin, but it’s as good as it gets in rural Oregon. The proprietors obviously care about the details and its the comfiest bed I’ve found in a hotel room cheaper than $ 200/​night.

I thought the room was fair, the price was ok, the food for breakfast was fair and the service was just fair.

I usually stay at the Celilo Inn while in the Dalles but decided to try The Dalles Inn this time as I had heard some good things. This hotel is a very nice place to stay. It is centrally located downtown within easy walking distance to shops, the river walk and restaurants (Clock Tower Ales is right next door).
The rooms were clean and well sized. It included a refrigerator, a DVD player, flat screen LCD tv and free wireless Internet (although not very fast). I stayed in the Tower section which it looks like from other reviews is the nicer section.
Did not have the free breakfast or use the exercise room so can’t comment on this but did use the pool. It was a bit on the small side and because it was totally enclosed the window of sun exposure is not what I would have liked. However it was not crowded and kept clean which is good.
The staff was very friendly and always greeted you in the halls. Renee helped me with both check in and check out and was very friendly and efficient. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed here the night of a concert at Maryhill Winery. (Mention the concert and get 20% off).
It was functional. There weren’t too many bells and whistles but it is centrally located near restaurants and bars and very accessible to 84 and 14 so you won’t get lost.
The staff was friendly and helped us locate a great place for dinner. Check-​in and Check-​out was a breeze.
