Cousins' Country Inn - The Dalles

This review is about their restaurant. Such good ole down-home American food! We were visiting from Salem for just one night and we ate here for all 3 meals!! Joel, our dinner server, was excellent. The farm type ambiance is unique and entertaining. I highly recommend Cousin's Restaurant. Service: 5 Location: 5

This place exceeded my expectations. Probably the most homiest hotel I’ve stayed at. We stayed in the vaulted ceiling king room and again opening the door I was just amazed at how warm and inviting it was. Two balconies, one overlooking the pool. We checked out the restaurant next door for breakfast and it was delicious. I did try to check in a couple hours early to see if it was even possible but was told to come back at check in time. That older lady at the front desk didn’t seem to have customer service skills and I’m not sure she was part of the front desk staff? I just feel like she could’ve addressed my question differently. She didn’t ask what room I was in. I didn’t expect to be checked in two hours earlier but just was checking to see if it was possible after the long drive. When I came back, she was no longer there and had more welcoming staff there. Still giving 5 stars however because who knows, maybe she had a bad day and again I felt she wasn’t maybe part of the normal front desk staff. Anyways I would stay there again! 10/10 rating.

Rooms are not bad. The hotel staff are great and do what they can to make it a comfortable stay. Every time my kids came to visit one the weekends they housekeeping kept us well stocked up on bathroom items and towels. Rooms: Rooms are outdated but cute and clean. Kitchenette rooms have ovens, which is a very nice addition when you're staying for work amd don't want to eat out every day. Walkability: There are many stores and other restaurants, food carts and fast food places within walking distance. Food drinks: The restaurant and bar have a good variety of food and drinks at reasonable prices.

Visited The Dalles for the local cruise in, so we knew it would be a busy weekend. We were so disappointed that our room was not ready until almost an hour after check in time, making our evening plans rushed. The room was nice, one sink didn't drain and the blinds were broke but nothing that effected us greatly. The staff at the restaurant was amazing and kind. The front desk was a diffrent story, not being from around the area when asked what we could do while waiting for our room was greeted with attitude. I'd never been to the dalles so was looking for any local recommendations and in stead was told... I don't know the saloon is open. Just a bit disappointed as we were not yelling or asking for discounts as others were. Safety: Felt safe while on our trip and when staying in the room. Food drinks: Food was okay, but the staff was amazing!

This is always a good place with good food. We stop by every time we are in the area and are wanting some good food
