Trust me!

There was a layer of dust on everything, dirt on the floor, no refills of coffee machine supplies or tissues, and I had to go to the front desk to get more toilet paper. There are cobwebs on the ceilings. When I asked the desk person in my last evening if I could check-out at 11:30 instead of 11, since I had a meeting in The Dalles that I needed to return from to get out of the room, she said she could not say yes or no, and I had to ask the morning desk clerk. The room was so small that there was no chair and desk to write at. By the way, I initially sent this review directly to the motel via their email address on their website, and got no reply. Only after a while passed, I put it on here. Breakfast was very good.

That's usually a hallmark of a…read morereally bad restaurant writing themselves reviews, but I really don't think that's the case here. Trout Lake Country Inn serves perfectly good food. It's not fine dining, but I don't think anyone's asking for that either. When we were there, I got a nice grilled cheese sandwich on Dave's Killer bread. Very grainy, which was nice, though on the whole, I didn't find it terribly filling. Maybe that's my fault for getting the side of fruit, which I did thoroughly enjoy. It included fresh blackberries, huckleberries and peaches, outstanding! My husband's meal came with a side of very tasty pesto pasta salad, which I intend to replicate soon. So why three stars and not four? The service. Service was very slow, and it took a long time to be acknowledged. And then there was the bathroom incident... having been in the car for a looong time, going down highways that at times weren't even paved, through a lush old growth forest, I had gotten to the point where I desperately needed a bathroom. Upon arrival, I'd noticed the port-a-potties outside the restaurant. Classy! Once we'd sat down, I ventured into the main hall to find the bathroom. And oh thank god, there it was, a door to a toilet. I needed to go so badly. As I approached however, I realized there was a brightly colored sign hung on the door. It read "port-a-potties are outside". Geez, I thought, this whole lodge really doesn't have a normal bathroom? Maybe they're renovating it... So outside I went to use the port-a-potties (yuk), which had no way to wash my hands, and I was about toe at a sandwich! Back inside I went. No faucet at the bar in the front room, and no staff to be seen anywhere; the kitchen was the only place I could go to wash my hands. I peeked into the kitchen, where a woman was cooking. Before I could ask her anything, she asked me in a rather rude tone what I was doing there. I explained that I just needed to wash my hands. She looked very irritated, and like she was uncomfortable with me seeing her kitchen, and practically yelled at me: "Go use the bathroom!" I explained that I had, namely the port-a-potties, and that they had no sink or even anti-bacterial foam. She gave me this "are you a moron" look, and pointed to the door behind me: "The BATHROOM!" Not wanting to bother her further, I returned to the same door with the big sign on it that said nothing but "port-a-potties are outside", and cautiously turned the door handle. My god! There was a whole bathroom there, shower and all! I was flabbergasted. I didn't dare approach the owner lady again, but to this day I have no idea why on earth there's a big sign pointing people outside, when they have a perfectly functional bathroom that they apparently DO want guests to use. Makes no sense to me whatsoever. The whole kitchen experience was very off-putting though, the woman was rude, and it made me suspicious that she seemed so anxious about me coming near her kitchen, as if she had something to hide. In short, the food was 4 star worthy, rating it like the diner it is, but the service was off-putting, the kitchen a bit suspicious, and the bathroom a flat out mystery. If they simply improved that, I'd give them four stars.
