It's a neat place to go to, but honestly the food isn't that great. Pretty average, menu is uninteresting at best. Everything was bland with no seasoning. Boring menu. Bathroom isn't kept clean regularly. read more

Better service Food took forever Our coffee and tea never came Waitress disappeared never brought the check Will be our last visit here

Nice place to stay. We stayed two nights and didn't have any complaints. Several room options and were very affordable compared to other places in surrounding towns/areas. Nothing fancy but definitely good for the price and location. read more

Had 2 bad meals at the restaurant. Tasteless country fried chicken steak and biscuits and gravy breakfast. Hotel room tv had no volume control. Sink faucet handel was very hard to use. read more

Place appeared clean at first but many bugs were in room. Killed 2 flies right off the bat and captured 2 small beetles in the bed. Was woken up by a huge black beetle crawling on my chest that scared the life out of me. The AC in the room isn't working right and I'm pretty sure it's over 90 in this room. I'm legitimately scared to sleep for what could be crawling on me... and it's too freaking hot to be all covered up. Ugh. Only reason I didn't give it 1 star is because if it weren't for the broken AC and disgusting amount of bugs the room would be ok. It has some charm with the whole ranch theme going on. read more

I stayed at Cousins' Country Inn in The Dalles, Oregon for the first time on 9/13/23. My parents have stayed there numerous times over the years, and I had heard good things about it. I was very impressed with my stay. I called to make reservations while gassing up in Baker, Oregon. It was already very late and I knew I wouldn't be arriving until close to 1 AM. I lucked out and got the last remaining room. I spoke to Miriam, who couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. I booked the room for $108, which included all taxes. When I arrived, I was checked in by Anita, who was also very helpful! I was pleased to learn that my room rate included 20% off of breakfast in the Cousins' Restaurant the next morning. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take advantage of it as I already had other plans, but I will next time. Given that I arrived at 1 AM, Anita kindly offered me a check out of 11 AM, which I greatly appreciated. I was impressed with the size of my room, and how well laid out it was. The room was exceptionally large, and the furniture was nicely spread out, so there is no risk of bumping into things if you get up late at night to use the bathroom. The room was exceptionally clean. My bed was very comfortable. I liked that there was a mini fridge and a microwave, both of which I made use of. This is an older building, which means it is very well constructed. Even though this location is relatively close to a busy road, the combination of the solid construction and the sound of air conditioner, which was a bit noisy but acted as white noise, allowed me to get a solid night's sleep without using my earplugs. The next morning, my shower had plenty of hot water and great water pressure. Good water pressure is some thing that I often find lacking even in brand new properties, so this is especially note worthy. The parking lot is well lit, and there are monitored cameras to ensure the safety of their guests. I appreciate that Cousins' Country Inn is so security conscious, which is something that is very important to me as a solo female traveler, who often arrives late at night. When visiting The Dalles in the past, I have stayed at Celilo Inn and The Dalles Inn, both of which I give high marks to. But given my experience on 9/13/23, Cousins' Country Inn is my favorite of the three, and where I intend to stay in the future. Highly Recommended!!! read more

We stop in here every time we take a road trip. It's the perfect distance from Portland to start our trip, or end it! The food is always fresh, tasty and served in ginormous portions. I've never had a misstep in my order nor has the waitstaff ever been less than super efficient, really friendly and very attentive. They have these ever so tasty biscuits and I won't try to tell you they aren't huge. I'm addicted to their pot roast, served with mashed potatoes, carrots, onions and gravy. Although I've had many breakfasts too. A side of bacon is like 4 pieces, they make scrambled eggs fluffy like I like them The only thing I've ever had to complain about is the fact that they serve coke and not pepsi. Seriously....and that really isn't even an issue because their tea is spectacular too! read more

Basic lodge while we had to stop in the Columbia gorge. You would expect a lodge like this to have free breakfast but they don't. The rooms are ok though there was always a faint smell while we were there. read more

Very nice place. Spacious and able to accommodate large groups. They have a cute gift shop inside too. The food was tasty. Salads were fresh! Prices are competitive. I ordered the chicken craisin salad and it was so delicious! Fresh greens with chicken, tomatoes, olives, and Craisins. I highly recommend that salad. My friend ordered the chicken almond salad, but her meat was dry. There are live chickens in a coop outside and a place to take fun pics. We stopped here on our way to a wedding. read more

Restaurant review Worst Rubin sandwich I ever had, no cheese....the corned beef was in chunks, not thinly sliced and I got 7 french fries with the meal...I will not return read more

Unfortunately after a long drive, we found this hotel. Reserved in advance, due to decent reviews. Couple things that must be handled. Bed bugs! We checked in, then checked right back out. Hoping that this is looked at in all rooms for the health of the folks staying here. Outdated hotel. Updating the rooms and removing the old smells throughout the place should be a priority for the owners. Thinking of the customers and the experience you are giving is a big miss right now. Loitering in the parking lots. Pulled up to see a couple making out on cars. And others walking through the lot. Where I understand that things like this can't be completely resolved, maybe having some kind of respect for others cars and people staying here. Management should look into some type of security or having the front desk monitor what's going on in the lot itself. I hope that this helps anyone planning to stay at this hotel thinking it will be decent. Inspect your beds completely. Wouldn't leave anything valuable in your cars. Don't want to bash the place because everything can obviously be fixed. But, in the meantime, I would suggest for the health and safety of your stay; that you would stay at another hotel until it's fixed. read more

We stayed and got a little gift basket for our puppies! The beds are a little uncomfortable but the hotel is cheap, the staff is very friendly,. The restaurant is great food and friendly staff. I got home and realized I left my AirPods and remembered hearing them fall behind the headboard. I called and they located them and shipped them to me. I was very thankful as I do not know the next time I will be down that way. The hotel is older, but clean and simple. read more

Good value, priced fairly. They are pet friendly too. Beds are pretty comfortable. Shower/ bathroom outdated but plenty of hot water with good water pressure. Bath towels are large. Front desk was friendly. You get discount card for the restaurant there. I believe they serve breakfast all day. Next time we're in town we'll be staying here again. read more

Hometown feel. Family recipes. Friendly service. Best clam chowder on the west coast, bar none...and yes I've been to San Francisco, Monterrey and Seattle. Turkey dinner was amazing. Apple pie was the happily ever after I didn't know I needed.

Prices for a room are cheap and I guess you get what you pay for.... We arrived just before the 4pm check in, the front desk person called housekeeping to find out if our room was ready, housekeeping responded and said she needed to check. We sat for a bit while other guests were checking in then we were told the room was ready, we drove to a parking space that was closer to our room, unloaded our bags opened the door and housekeeping was still cleaning the room. We waited outside until she was done. Upon entering room 103 the first thing I noticed was the stains on the dirty carpet and the old hotel musty smell. The rest of the room looked okay, it really needed a good dusting though. We got a "non smoking room" but the smell of cigarettes was outside because the smokers are allowed to smoke right outside of the non smoking rooms, there were cigarette ashtrays along the walkway directly in front of the non smoking rooms. I probably won't return to this hotel but I would return to the restaurant, we had a delicious breakfast which filled us up the rest of the day, customer service was outstanding at the restaurant, can't say the same for the hotel. Spend a few more bucks and get a better room. read more

Cousins Country Inn - Stains on the dirty carpet - Hotels Near Me - The Dalles, Oregon

We had a great breakfast, ample amount of food that arrived quickly. Waitress was pleasant and timely.

The food is very delicious. The coffee is very good too; they give you a medium size carafe and then more if you run out. The prices are what you'd expect...about $15 per meal. I think the cheapest thing is 2 pancakes for $7.50. The waitresses are incredibly friendly. The restaurant is part of Cousins Hotel. There's also a bar attached to the restaurant. I haven't been in there. My only minor complaint is that the parking lot is a little small. The owners know how to run a business and are actually dedicated to the the craft that pays their bills. They didn't go into business for themselves because they weren't capable of working for other people. At least that's my take. read more

This place is awesome! We got two rooms last minute in the middle of a crazy heat wave! The hotel staff are so friendly and awesome. For it being 105 outside our rooms were nice and cold! We slept like babies. They have a restaurant that was delish, with outdoor dinning so we were able to eat outside without leaving our small dog locked in the room. The rooms were clean and comfy and they had a microwave! We just loved it! Excellent customer service! read more

AMAZING ! This is quite possibly THE BEST breakfast that I have EVER HAD! I was driving along on my way to the Oregon coast with my dog , and needed a casual out door dining place to stop. I saw this on Yelp , called ahead , and was politely told they had plenty of outdoor seating and that I was welcome with my pup. All I had was a very simple standard American favorite Scrambled eggs, bacon , hash browns and toast .... I don't know what the heck made it SO good , but it was outstanding! Had a private little picnic to myself & and Parker - the K-9 read more

Very clean and super friendly. Nice rooms. Great accommodations. Good value. Would stay again for sure.

I was a little worried when we first pulled up to the hotel and saw a few seedy people hanging around the back building that we were staying in. The exterior really does seem quite a bit rundown, but the interiors were surprisingly clean. Wouldn't go out of my way to stay here again, but also wouldn't tuck tail and run like so many of the other options would make me. read more

From the outside it looks a bit like a run down and then re-done best western. But this was a really nice stay for us. first... the staff is really friendly. There is a statue of a sheep and a horse that kids can sit on, and a photo op face placard. Just a fun touch. The rooms are very large with a frige, keurig coffee maker and microwave. Bed was really comfy. And best of all this place had the best shower I have ever had in a hotel and I have been all over the place in the US and Europe. Lots of pressure with all the hot water you want. There was another sign that this is a good place. It was packed with Truckers. They check in for dinner and then they are all gone by 7am. Its a great place to stay to see The Dalles read more

This place is definitely brutal if it's hot outside, go someplace else, the AC units in the rooms barely work at best and it's uncomfortably hot. This place might be comfortable is the temperature is 80 degrees or under outside. Also the pool closes way to early. read more

Clean and friendly. Nice, comfortable bed. The only downside was the upstairs neighbors who seemed to be having a throw-the-table-from-the-bed-onto-the-floor competition at 1am but that wasn't the motels fault and they did call them and tell them to shut their noise, which they did. read more

Room was very clean and attractive. Lots of parking. Loved the king bed, slept wonderfully. Left off one star: walls are thin and neighbors were easily heard, the coffee pot was not user friendly and you might consider changing the coffee you purchase for the rooms. The huge shower is super but the tile/grout needs to be fixed/replaced in places. Would definitely return. Thank you! read more

Always a safe bet for a clean pleasant stay. It's also really convenient having their on-site restaurant that serves a tasty bloody mary and decent food read more

Given it was Labor Weekend, the price point for this place was alright. Rooms are basic yet seem to have been updated in the last few years. However, you can hear your upstairs neighbors waking about which was really annoying at night. I will say the updated shower was nice and very roomy. If you get a decent nightly rate, Cousins Inn isn't too bad a spot. read more

What a nice, clean and friendly place to stay! We needed a dog friendly place to stay and this place went above & beyond! They delivered a "pet box" to our room with lots of goodies for our dog. Clean room, comfy bed and the restaurant was yummy! We'd stay here again for sure! read more

Incredible food. Had the chicken burger with French fries. I love thick fries with a crispy outside, got that. The bbq Mayo and dressing were the perfect dipping sauces. The host was patient with me and showed me the bar and dinning room and let me chose my seat. My server Steven was extraordinarily accommodating and on top of it! Wish i had time for a cinnamon roll, gotta hit the road! read more
