The Dalles Hotel Guide - Mayer State Park hotels in The Dalles, United States of America.

"Cousins' was way better than it had any right to be. Yes, this is a basic motel, but it's a cut above the chains. Convenient location, affordable, and nice rooms with refrigerator, microwave, comfortable beds. The little things they chose made a big difference to our family road trip vacation: Comfy beds, quality coffee in the lobby refreshed throughout the day (and cookies, if you like that!). Pendleton blankets on the beds. Actual coffee mugs, Portland Roasting coffee, glass not plastic for water, that sort of thing. Shower not tiny and decent showerhead mounted up high, great not to have the water in the middle of my chest, ha! Instead of "free continental breakfast" you get a coupon to the really cool diner restaurant onsite, traditional breakfast foods, also to-go bakery with huge cinnamon rolls, etc. No one will leave hungry! Saloon bar for the grownups, not open super late, not rowdy. Outdoor pool, covered hot tub, even some little toys for the kids; only 7 of 10 for clean and I got the sense some locals not staying at the hotel were "allowed" there, made it kind of crowded and not as family-friendly as the rest of property. Downsides: A/C VERY noisy. Suggest earplugs. Not a lot of soundproofing. loud kids running upstairs etc. We had kids too so can't complain much. Would not make a great business / working hotel: Wifi so-so, limited outlets, no desk, only 1 wall lamp for the whole room. Didn't impact us. Would return when in the area again! "

"Affordable and convenient!"

"We four lady friends enjoyed a relaxing long weekend at this lovely home in Lyle. The home is modern, well-equipped, and clean with beautiful views! Only one day the wind blowed and we stayed inside, but all the others provided an opportunity to sit on the deck and enjoy watching activity on the river."

"Much nicer than expected! Plenty of room for our family, fully stocked kitchen, beautiful location - and tons of wildlife everday."

"Very comfortable and spacious. Great location for our work retreat!"

"It was perfect for our multi generational family group of 8. "

"Interesting experience. There is no on-site staff, but the building is in excellent (restored) condition. You let yourself in with the door code and then you’re on your own. The on-site restaurant is not operating, so we drove a couple miles for dinner. We made breakfast from what was on site. Thankfully there was no noise from the railroad outside. We’ll be back."
