Top The Dalles Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 The Dalles, OR

10/10 Excellent

"Quick easy check-in with cheerful, friendly person. Got my one request (ground floor). All I could hope for, will stay there again."

Lightwell Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. My only disappointment was the rooftop restaurant was closed for the season. The weather is still in the 70's. They have a lobby bar restaurant with a very limited menu. The rooms are very basic and have everything you need and the beds are quite comfortable. *The rooms have hardwood floors and can be noisy. Linda J."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites The Dalles by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice comfy room, clean and in great condition. Floors are well padded and carpeted. Very organized and efficient hotel staff, especially the cleaning staff!! Coffee, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, biscuits and gravy and eggs all really good! Not thrilled with check-in process. Just 2 in front of me and it just took too long. Seems she could have called for backup help?? Just rubbed me the wrong way and staff at check in really lacked personal friendliness, which would have been greatly appreciated after that long drive getting there."
