Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a lovely area near the Klickitat river with plenty to do. Just across the road, there's a spacious empty field ideal for letting your dog run. The rooms feature two smaller pillows on the beds, which adds to the comfort. Service is top-notch with excellent housekeeping and valet parking; a welcome drink is a nice touch. The dining experience offers fresh-baked scones, a delightful treat. Overall, a great location with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is ideally located close to the observatory, perfect for what we were in the area to do. Just across the road, there was a big empty field where my dog could take a run. The rooms had 2 smaller pillows on beds, providing extra comfort, but the dining, particularly the fish options, fell short of expectations.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The location was convenient with lovely surroundings, but the dining options were somewhat limited. The facilities were well-kept, offering a pleasant experience overall.
