The 24 hour pool and hot tub is an amazing feature. The breakfast is good, and fresh coffee is nice. The sealions could be heard in the far off distance, but it was nice. Also if noise bothers u they do have ear plugs at front desk. Side note, they gave us the cutest doggie treat bag for zoey with treats and bags to pick up puppy waste. Great stay, nice property. Will not disappoint.

The room was fine, your basic room. It was big with a nice sitting area. The bed was hard, at least for us. The view of the river was good, but the sea lions were loud most of the night! Breakfast was mediocre- the eggs and biscuit gravy were warm at best. For the price though, I would say it’s a decent choice.

The room I booked through Expedia was apparently their base room which meant I ended up next to the elevator. I asked for a different room - I felt I paid a decent amount for the room as compared to what I could have paid directly to the hotel….I was over charged! They upgraded me for a fee….a little disappointed in Expedia’s price charged - $232 AUD which is about $155 US - they were charging $120 US for this room and that is about $177 AUD. I don’t like being ripped off, which is what appears to have happened!!!

Merry, We are sorry you felt you did not receive the best experience at our hotel based on the price paid. Rates are based on the style of the room and availability on a given date. Expedia and other partner sites have detailed descriptions of our guest rooms and their pricing. When you arrived at our location, we were glad you recognized the advantage of having a room facing the beautiful Columbia River. Some visitors are disturbed by the sea lions and prefer the opposite side of the hotel. We are happy to try to accommodate any requested changes if possible. We hope you enjoy safe travels in the future.
