Detailed Reviews
The views are amazing, very comfy beds. Dog friendly, great staff and the complimentary breakfast was delicious. Everyone was so helpful and nice. This place was very, very clean. You park right outside your door which makes it easy for luggage and keeping an eye on your vehicle.

Our standard king room was clean, odor-free, and spacious. In addition, the standard king rooms have a breathtaking view of the Columbia River, The Dalles, and Mt. Hood. Breakfast included toast, bagels, sweet rolls, fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, cheese chunks, boiled eggs, yogurt, juice, coffee and a wide selection of tea. We are thankful for Paula, the Night Auditor, who went above and beyond, to solve a problem with our reservation. She was professional, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Above all, she cared enough to help strangers in a jam. This motel is a good place to stay.

The Celilo Inn is marked by a very visible sign saying, simply, Motel. True enough, but it offers so much more. It's up off the highway just enough; it's nestled into basalt cliffs; it offers incredible views; it has a lovely patio for mingling day or night; the rooms are updated with views; it's safe with ample parking; there is a good variety of foods for a continental breakfast; they offer complimentary wine upon check in. Above all else, the staff is super friendly and professional. The only drawbacks proved to be bigger in my mind than in practice. Single kings in the rooms versus two beds, and a sweet pool area that emphasizes functionality and comfort over beauty. Highly recommend this Dalles gem if you'd like some amazing views and a glimpse into what motels should become.

I read the review but did not connect the dots it is a great place for couples but not for the business traveler. The room was quiet (no freeway noise and only heard one train at 0330) had a great heater and nice TV and the water was hot. OK the reason for my disappointment. The room was very small and did not have a table for computer work, there were only two free plugins (not counting the two in the bathroom) on the end table next to the bed (I carry a multi plug so that problem was solved). Having to sit in bed with the computer on your lab is not good. If you are pulling any kind of trailer do not go there the driveway and parking is so small had I not arrived early I would not have been able to turn my Ram with a very small trailer around. There were only three hangers for clothes in the room (they did provide three more when asked). The bathroom floor was sticky and the water pressure so low combined with the low flow shower head adjusted to best flow made showering and rinsing off a real chore. There were amenities provided I did not use these (I bring my own) I would not recommend this motel for the business traveler. The front desk staff were very friendly and check in and out very easy. The lobby was clean and comfortable they offered a breakfast (I did not use) and coffee at all hours.

We do have better designs in other king rooms. The bathroom area will be passed on to our maintenance department for quick updates. Let us know your needs on your next booking so we can better serve you.

We have stayed here in the past and had good experiences. This time we had ants in our room, so asked for a new room. The manager said that she didn’t have another room that accepted dogs. That was surprising as there were few cars at the hotel. She said that there were other rooms but there would be a $60 upgrade. She basically did not believe there were ants but would not come see them when asked. My wife returned and got disinfectant spray that we used to kill the ants as best we could. Will not be returning.

We booked this place to break up the 9 hour drive to Medford from Spokane.
We used Booking.com for this reservation and 2 weeks before my husband had to change the date by 1 day.
After calling Booking.com they said it would cost more than the nightly fee to change the reservation! (They were located in India by the way).
I called the Cello Inn and was told it was okay to change with no fee and that they were having LOTS of trouble with Booking.com. However this was the only positive with this place.
Hard to find with no signs, very uncomfortable bed (we did not sleep) and extremely noisy air conditioner. My husband said the coffee was good though..........

The room was freezing cold and took a while to heat up. The bed was really comfortable, however the cover at the end of bed had two very yucky stains on it. I was charged $50 for incidentals that would be credited the next morning, however no one answers the phone and the charge is still on my bank. This is the most frustrating part of the whole stay.
Suggestions: Fill up the shampoo bottle, body wash to the top. They were half full and that is visually and mentally not pleasing. We did not use them. Put a light in the hallway, very dark, hard to see to make coffee.

We overnighted here the other night and were delighted with what we found. The rooms, lobby, and other facilities are all updated comfortably and tastefully. (The mattress deserves special mention.) Each room had a view of the Columbia, the Dalles Dam, and the toll bridge to Washington, and there were outdoor viewing areas as well. The highway noise was undetectable in the rooms. Best of all, the staff was friendly and outstanding. A special shoutout to Gunner, who suggested we try the nearby Highway House for dinner, a locals' favorite. Wonderful!

The Celilo Inn is on the hillside overlooking the Columbia River, The Dalles Dam & Bridge, and pretty much all of The Dalles. The king room with a view was spacious, laid out well *we really liked the separation of the fridge / microwave, closet, bathroom from the main living space. The bed was comfy, lighting was great, and we were able to leave the curtains open all night as the room was situated where no one could see in while we had the best view of city lights at night, & Mt. Hood in daytime. The included breakfast was basic but good, cinnamon rolls, good coffee, plus all the other usual items you’d get. There is much to do in The Dalles and surrounding areas. The riverside bike trail was very fun, yes we rode at 38 degrees. We had planned one night but loved the motel so much we decided to stay, and are very glad we did.

Kind of a funky place that was. Little hard to find but comfortable room and good views of the gam and river from even a budget room. Liked the fresh fruit at breakfast (no hot food items) and fact they had real plates etc instead of throw away. View from sitting area outside lobby were amazing and would have been great for breakfast if slightly warmer. Bed comfy and even though room very compact(we knew this when I booked it) everything was fine.
