I'm kind of a low end/high-end girl when it comes to lodgings. My preference is for independently…read moreowned businesses of either kind. I'm all up for splurging on destination lodging on occasion, but because I tend to arrive late at night, the amenities are often wasted on me. If you're looking for reliable and reasonably priced lodging in The Dalles, Oregon, I highly recommend you consider The Dalles Inn. It's an independently owned and older property that is well-maintained and has loyal staff. it is centrally located on the west end of the main street that goes through town. The best rooms are in the four-story hotel but there are also two stories of rooms outside of the hotel that have stairs leading up to them from the outside, similar to a motel. I've stayed in both the hotel and the separate building several times. I would be happy with either. There is safe parking. Pre-pandemic, they had a lovely breakfast that rivals that of any I've had in hotels closer to twice the price. Due to the shortage of staff, the breakfast room isn't open right now but they prepare a lovely bag of breakfast goodies for you to take with you as you leave, or bring back up to your room. My most recent stay was on 9/14/22. I had contemplated traveling to see my father in Washington via Walla, Walla, WA, in part because I wanted to stay at the boutique property, The Finch. Online, they were advertising rooms for $157 per night. But when I called, they wanted to sell me a room for $220 plus per night because they were hidden fees and the room advertised online only had a bunkbed. I told them I wanted to look around and we call back if I was interested. I started doing a little research and thank goodness I did, because one of the things that came up repeatedly was customers complaining about the paperthin walls. I got the sense that this remodeled property might have formally been a Motel 6, which I avoid at all costs. I don't care how bougie a place is, I'm not paying a premium for paperthin walls. That's part of the reason why I prefer older properties. I quickly decided to travel via my normal route and called to get a room at The Dalles Inn. One of the nice things about independently owned businesses that are well-maintained is they usually provide a high level of customer service, which I have always found to be the case at The Dalles Inn. They generally don't have hidden fees either. When I called, the room that were available were outside of the hotel, which I was OK with, but the woman taking my reservation said she would make a note that if there was a cancellation of a similar room inside the hotel prior to my arrival, they would give me that room instead. As it turned out, I was able to get a room on the fourth floor. With my AARP discount, my room cost $81 as quoted. There were no hidden fees. The room was worth every penny. I can't remember the last time I got such a good nights sleep in a hotel room. Usually when I stay at hotels/motels, I need to use ear plugs. Not here. I love that the rooms at The Dalles are large and have bathtub/shower combos. Most newly built properties do not. Everyone seems to be going towards a design that looks similar to what I would consider a fancy Motel 6, including even the new Best Westerns. I had everything I needed in my room, including a well concealed mini fridge. I've been told of the owners of this property also have one or more in Albany, Oregon. I don't ever have a reason to go through Albany, but if I did, I would certainly be researching which properties they own. Highly Recommended!!!

Our room was so cozy (and in this case that isn't code for "small": we had a king size bed and the room still felt spacious) with an electric fireplace and comfortable bed with giant pillows. Our bathroom had a giant, beautiful soaking tub which we did take advantage of and even my 6' tall husband found it comfortable. Everything other reviewers have stated is true: it is charming, comfortable and fun. The design and decor all feel thoughtful and natural. Every space is inviting and it seems there is something delightful to see around every corner: a DIY photo booth closet inside the front door with props (!), a make-your-own-trail-mix counter along with coffee/tea/cocoa access 24/7...even just the seating areas inside the front door made me smile. Breakfast was quite the spread & the owner/manager (?) was there with a couple of staff and even took our "order" for what kind of eggs we wanted. They were all so friendly and casual I felt like I was staying at a friend's house. One little thing I never thought I cared about: their towels were SO soft and smelled SO good. I have never experienced anything like it and now I know there is such a thing as an amazing towel experience. Check in was a breeze: there is a parking lot behind the house (1 car per room) & we basically just showed up with a door code & details texted/emailed to us and went straight to our room which was open with keys in the door waiting for us (the exterior access points to the house are all locked/secure so no worries about security). Stay here if you get the chance, it is wonderful.

The CAESURA Coffeehouse is newly open, and a great place to grab a quick bite and coffee. The barista is new, so may need some adjustments to your drink. Would definitely stay here again when visiting The Dalles!

Not just fresh paint, but full update. The room was very nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were great. The a/c also worked great. Being a hot summer day in the 90's, this was important. I really liked the updated shower and bathroom. All of it nicely done and modern. Although the trains come by regularly, you barely hear them. Finally, the staff were awesome. They were having some difficulty with the elevator when I arrived and offered to help with my bags up the stairs onto the room on the third floor. Genuinely nice people. These guys are firing on all cylinders and I look forward to staying agin in the future.

Breakfast was very yummy, we had an egg scramble with rosemary, lemon and orange french toast made from a croissant, chicken apple sausage, fresh squeezed OJ and local coffee.

Here are a few things to keep in mind: -This is a very small town and the surrounding restaurants close at 8 so try to eat early or set-up dinner with Carol and Jerry! -Be prepared to drive on curvy, gravel, or uphill roads -If you're coming from Oregon, make sure you have a few dollars in change because you will cross a toll bridge that costs 75 cents each way Overall, if you're looking to get out of the city and into the country side, visiting Husum Highlands is encouraged!

We saw Kelly's sign and went in and asked if they had rooms available. It's not the place I'd choose as a romantic getaway, but it is pleasant and pretty and very well kept. And they have dogs, which immediately endeared me to the place. Kelly Enochs and wife Marilyn run a nice little B&B here. We didn't see much of Marilyn (although her pressed-flower art decorates the place) but Kelly was very chatty, perhaps almost too much so. I'm sure one craves company when you run a B&B out in the woods and it's off-season! Location is great: right on a creek, right off the main road, on a side road that leads out into the 'country' (nice for walking or morning runs). There is a nice sitting room downstairs with a very good library of outdoors-related books. The antique couch is pretty but not the most comfortable. Kelly has a large collection of music and is a big music fan ... and will tell you all about it if you're interested. Our room (Creekside - a double upstairs; see photos) was large and comfortable. We had to go around the corner outside to use the bathroom (sink, toilet, clawfoot tub), but there were no other guests, so that worked out fine. Kelly is also a coffee addict, so there WILL be a fresh pot waiting for you in the morning. Breakfast was good with plenty of food ... all the basics you would expect - something eggy, something bready, something sausagey, fruit, coffee & tea. All in all, a nice time, and I would go back if I were in the area.
