    Thought it was blood at first but convinced myself it's soda regardless :) all over wall, door and thermostat.
    Joe B.

    I'll start by saying that I received great service from the attendants during my stay. The rating reflects the dirtiness of the room. There was dust and debris on the floors and a ton in the corners. It looked as if a soda had exploded on a wall and never been wiped up. There were items from previous guest in the shower. I am pretty easy going but had it not been so late and had I not had to carry all my stuff up the stairs I would have asked for another room. There is no elevator, that is fine but think it's good for people to know. Overall this is close to being so much better. Location was great, nice staff, breakfast, etc...

    Blood. This was one of the cleaner ones that I found.

    Do not stay at this property without first checking the mattress. I had to check four rooms before I found one without blood. it wasn't the sort of spots from bedbugs either. Always pull back the mattress cover before you sleep on a hotel bed.

    Time for bed....

    Checked in late. The guy at the front desk was super nice. Room was clean. Pretty basic but not bad. Free wifi. TV was ok, not HD quality, but works. Bathroom was clean, but shower had low water pressure. Beds were ok. Not the greatest and not the worst. It was a bit noisy at night from traffic. BRING EARPLUGS. Pool was clean. Nice warm temp. Breakfast room was nice and clean. Plenty of breakfast choices to choose from. Buiscits and gravy, waffles, eggs, fried potatoes, sausages, yogurt, granola, oatmeal, cereal, muffins, bagels, apples, bananas, apple juice, orange juice, coffee and more. Everything was fresh and hot. Check out 11am. Nice motel.

    The Best Western Motel in Sandy, Oregon is worst Best Western Motel I have every stayed at. I cannot understand why this motel is part of the Best Western Chain. This is an observation from someone that had to stay 100 days at this motel due to their house caught on fire. There is no person at the front desk during the day or night. They have a phone on the front desk you call if you need something. 1. They have no maid service every day. The owner is to cheap to hire a maid to come in and clean rooms every day. We were force to clean our own room. There were over 25 days out of the 100 we were there that they did not have a maid working. They would rent out rooms that were clean then have a maid come in every third or fourth day to clean all the rooms. The floors are very seldom vacuum in the hallways or staircase. 2. The Ice Machine was broken the whole 100 days we were there. They had two different service guys come in to look at it but never got it fixed. 3. The pool and hot tub were closed for out last 4 weeks staying at the motel due to someone broke a window near the hot tub. The window was still broken, and area closed when we moved out. The owner was to cheap to get the window fixed. 4. There is only one staff member on duty to run the whole motel from 3pm until 7am. This staff member must wash all the linen for the next day and try and cover the front desk. I have never seen this kind of operation at any Best Western Motels I have ever stayed at. 5. I observed the guys working for over a month installing video cameras throughout the motel. The owner is more interested in watching a video of his motel then getting things fixed that the customers would use, ice machine, pool, etc... 6. I had a 7x14 foot cargo trailer that I had parked in one of the spots in the parking lot in the front of the motel that we had stuff in to use for everyday life since we could not stay in our house due to the fire. I was told to move my trailer to the back of the motel by the manager. He said that the owner did not want it in the front of the motel. I parked my trailer in the back of the building. While it was parked there it was broken into twice. Nothing was stolen except for the pad locks on the doors on the trailer. I have attached photos of things I observed throughout my stay. The picture with the trash and laundry were taken at 6pm. The trash and laundry were placed outside our room at 8am after we had to clean our own room. Pictures of the floor were taken after the maid left for the day. My recommendation is finding a different place to stay besides this run down motel that the owner dose not want to fix.

    Our group of four stayed in Chalet 13 from June 24-27 while attending a wedding at Mt. Hood. The…read morefirst part of our stay was great. We loved the beautiful grounds, and the chalet was comfortable and exactly what we were hoping for. Unfortunately, around 1:00 a.m. on the second to last night of our stay, we returned from the wedding festivities to find that the entire chalet smelled overwhelmingly of sewage. The odor was present throughout all three floors and became stronger with each level. It was so intense that several of us were gagging and even became physically sick. We attempted to book a room at the nearest hotel but they were fully booked, leaving us with no choice but to stay. We opened every window in the chalet and had to leave them open for the remainder of our stay because the smell was otherwise unbearable. We made every effort to report the issue while it was happening. That night, we called the resort's emergency after hours hotline but never received a return call or any follow up. Upon checking out on the final day, I reported the situation again to the staff member at the front desk. He was incredibly kind, apologetic, and assured me the situation was unacceptable. He explained that the manager, Dan, would contact me and that a partial refund would likely be appropriate given the circumstances. After several days passed without any communication, I reached out to the resort myself. I was told that maintenance had inspected the chalet, along with neighboring units, and could not detect any unusual odor. While I appreciate that they took the concern seriously enough to inspect the property, this was very surprising given that all four of us experienced the smell, and it was severe enough that we were becoming physically ill. I was again told that Dan would contact me, but as of writing this review, I still have not received any phone call or email. It's disappointing because, aside from this issue, our stay would have easily earned five stars. I understand that unexpected maintenance problems can happen and I don't fault the resort for an issue that may have been outside their immediate control. What disappointed me most was the lack of follow through after we were assured someone would reach out. Good customer service isn't just responding in the moment--it's also following through on the commitments made afterward. I genuinely hope the source of the odor has been identified and resolved, as it's a beautiful property and I'd love to recommend it. However, I also hope future guests experiencing an issue like this receive the communication and resolution that we unfortunately never did.

    This was a pleasant place to sleep- but the parking situation was incredibly frustrating. There is…read morenot enough parking- we had to either park clear across the property or risk parking in front of the garage. The lack of 2 nd car parking is surprising since the place clearly holds more than 1 car of people. The building was nice and reasonably clean, if difficult to make baby safe. Location is good in government camp. We did not have a dog but seemed incredibly dog friendly. Check in took a long time - we waited in the clubhouse.

Located near the Columbia River was a beautiful view and stroll in the morning 4. Indoor swimming pool here 5. Hotel had a text messaging system, where staff would periodically text me to see if me or my group had any needs or complaints. 6. No bed bugs, but a spider and a flying insect -wasn't enough to minus a star rating from me 7. Check-in and process was easy, quick and not a problem 8. Best location for multiple waterfalls within a reasonable, driving distance (Multnomah falls was about 20 minutes from here in the rain, Bridevail and Latourelle Falls aren't too far as well). Highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again, when/if in Cascade Locks again.

So much art to look at, curiosities tucked in every corner, space to roam and explore! - Get the passport to make your stay even more rewarding and fun! I love the scavenger hunts and the stamps force you to do things you might not normally do on your own accord. - The full pitch and putt course is a relaxing and a fun way to spend a few hours. It was only $25 per person and took us 3 hours. - I signed up for the Makers Tour and highly recommend it! Lots of tastings and great historical facts along the way. - The soaking pools at night were perfect to relax muscles right before bed plus no kids after 8pm. - This hotel doesn't revolve around children. The movies that were showing were rated R and most of the pubs and pool hall are 21+. Kids are welcome - but I've never seen that many kids around which I like, personally. - It's very Dog Friendly!! - The live music is incredible. I've been here for big concerts on the lawn plus mini concerts down the winery hall. They were all amazing. - It can get noisy between 7-11pm especially in weekends! The building is old - not sure about insulation and things! Bring some earplugs, a positive attitude and maybe enjoy an extra drink! Or go during the week for a quieter experience. - The food is a bit pricey but if you are doing the passport it makes a little more sense. Some of my favorites are the Cajun Tots, Portland Dip, any Burger, and the Bagel and Lox Breakfast is Incredible!!!

Very good, but it was $16.25 for a 9oz pour...it should be good. The small Caesar with Grilled Chicken was ok. But again, $16.00 is too expensive. I did look further and saw that the Cheeseburger, with Fries and a Pickle Spear is $25.00. No way. My server was Adam. I hope this is a short term gig for him as he was non-existent...which is what I expected. His lack of attentiveness to me was horrendous. I will not return to any McMenamins, as I stated at the beginning, service is slow, food is okay and it has become too expensive.

There is a small home where the pastor and his family live. Next to that is the primary meeting space with an upper level and basement. Flanking the meeting space are the lodging rooms. Outside of that are multiple hiking trails. It was very inviting and felt like home. The food was unique and themed, served family style, everyday to accommodate our group. When the kitchen could serve something local, they would, such as nettle tea. The rooms were fine. They are older but well maintained. In the shared room I was in, there was a decent amount of space with a balcony. The pillows are covered by a really hard, not breathable plastic. I would recommend bringing your own pillows. Overall I think it is a very reasonable place to stay for a getaway, retreats, and other activities of that nature. It is certainly very serene and promotes individual growth as well as providing an encompassing experience with nature.

It's not fancy - the rooms are older and very basic, think shower-only motel rooms but with a balcony with a beautiful view of the grounds. And tbh the carpets could use a good cleaning. but it's a lovely space nonetheless. a nice sitting area for relaxation, too. The biggest downside - the horrible, crinkly-covered pillows. they cover them in some plastic or something? It's uncomfortable and noisy enough to make sleeping difficult so if you have room in your bag, bring your own pillow.

While staff were friendly, the two places to eat here share the same kitchen staffed by people who can't cook. I ordered salmon.

No berry flavor. No tartness. Just. Sugar. I figured I'd eat at the buffet in the morning. WRONG. The eggs were some kind of instant egg scramble--rubbery and dry. The sausage? Subpar. They had Greek yogurt, but it was very grainy looking. The ONLY redeeming feature was the drinkable coffee. It wasn't anything special, just a go-hum medium roast tasting of generic coffee. But it was nice to enjoy a couple hot cups on the patio.
