Book a hotel near Sunshine Mill Winery, The Dalles

"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! "

"clean, quiet with friendly and helpful staff. Very nice place to stay and close to lots of eating establishments, all within walking distance. Good continental breakfast as well. Recommended!"

"Great spot!"

"Affordable and convenient!"

"Easy access to downtown. Once the remodel is done it will be a great boon to the city."

"just be aware that this property is under considerable construction although our room was excellent"
