Property exceeded expectations. Friendly staff, life entertainment, great pizza, awesome view, fair priced food and drinks. Rooms are a bit small and aged but clean and nostalgic. Breakfast buffet was great with outside seating options. Did I say the staff was amazing! Will definitely stop there again on our next motorcycle ride. Thank you.

Surprisingly nice!

I was a bit nervous driving in in the dark. The lobby leaves a little to be desired. I was actually shocked at how nive rhe rooms were. Shockingly small, but in excellent shape. Nice quality towels! All the hotel type thi gs in the room you'd expect in Best Western. I was just there by myself for one night. Arrived late, left very early. The night shift lady was very nice. Morning shift lady was a bit cold. I greeted her, even thanked her for breakfast. It was like she couldnt be bothered with talking to me. Pretty strange for hospitality industry. Good breakfast.

Clean, comfortable room

Check in was quick, staff was very friendly. Didnt expect a large, non refundable pet deposit as it wasn't posted but at midnight, i was too tired to argue. Would stay again, very comfortable with a nice bed and room was clean.

We had an incredible view of the Columbia River and The Dalles Dam. I loved the picture book in the lobby of Native Americans, of which Celilo falls where natives fished before the dam, is the namesake of the Inn.

Just right.

We decided to take a little road trip to explore parts of the Oregon countryside we hadn't visited in the 50+ years living in Oregon. We saw some good reviews for the Celilo Inn so we gave it a try. Truth be told, I'm a bit of a princess when it comes to lodging. I am fussy about cleanliness and comfort. I was a bit leery of Celilo Inn due to it's age and nature of being a "motel". An old motel at that. It did not disappoint. The great reviews I read were indeed still true. It is very clean, in very good condition, bed was comfy, lots of pillows, lovely view of the Columbia River and The Dalles Dam, nice little patio, and staff was very friendly and helpful. Perfect place with the perfect price. It's a weird entrance, but that was the biggest negative. One last mention.... the website mentions wine passes and wine reception, but that's not a thing any longer.
