“Celilo Inn makes a strong case for its Columbia River Gorge views, a panorama that stands out even among local options. While some rooms might show their age, the proximity to downtown dining, coupled with the chance to snag a vista-rich room, makes it worth considering. I think the pet-friendly policy and winery tasting coupons are a definite plus for the right traveler.”
