We had a very nice Labor Day Weekend at the Celilo Inn, including an excellent Saturday night listening to live music on the patio while enjoying cocktails. The approach is a little strange---10 mph on a poorly maintained road right next to a row of houses---but this older property has been nicely updated and has wonderful views. The staff were great (another couple in our party discovered they had been given a room that hadn't been cleaned, and the problem was solved quickly and confidently). Hotel breakfast does include some protein (I'm diabetic, so this is worth mentioning to me). It is convenient to the Maryhill Museum, and an easy drive to the more heavily touristed Hood River.

Very nice staff and quiet & relaxing setting at this property. We loved that we had a parking spot in front of our door. We also love the views from our room and especially from the outdoor public access patio. Live music on the Saturday eve we stayed was very nice.

Had a lovely stay when I was in town for work. Just a short drive from their downtown, It sits along a very small road just near the outskirts of town. Rooms were clean and serviced daily, staff was very welcoming and friendly. Definitely will stay there again when working in the area.

An aging motel in an out-of-the-way location that's unwalkable to almost anything. The rooms and baths have been recently updated and are nicely appointed.The rooms, however, are quite small. The pool appeared to have green water with trash floating in it. Still, this works for a fast night's sleep in the middle of a road trip.
