With a genuinely warm welcome, a terrific bed, heavenly pillows and delicious home-style cooking and a fun bar scene awaiting, we just have to ask, “What’s keeping you?” If you’re looking for lodging in The Dalles, you won’t find a better experience in the I-84 corridor. We are ideally located for hard working crews, road weary Columbia business travelers, sports teams out to compete, as well as Gorge sportsmen and women, hikers, bikers, shoppers, wind jockeys and kite surfers – Cousins’ Country Inn is a soft place to lay your head and rejuvenate your spirit. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone in the area who doesn’t have great things to say about Cousins’ Restaurant. We’re a hometown favorite and a must-stop for regular wayfarers travelling the Columbia River Gorge. A great nights sleep and a great meal – isn’t that what you’re looking for?

We read the reviews and had high hopes. We were seated fast, but waited forever for the waitress to take our order. Our waitress actually served two other groups that were seated after we we seated, and we were about to leave. When she finally decided to take our order, we ordered a cinnamon roll and the chicken and waffles for breakfast, to share. I got a bloody Mary. The drink was decent with veggies in it, but not really a lot of alcohol. The cinnamon roll was gigantic and very, very good. The chicken and waffles was okay but nothing to write home about. If I had to go again, I'd get the cinnamon roll.

Excellent staff, grounds, cleanliness, comfort, attention to detail. Many places charge for pets, but nowhere else provides bones, poop bags, a water bowl and towels. Location gives the ability to easily access the facility and get back on the interstate.

My stay was for recovery from surgery. And my fiancé And I often stay in rooms 252 or 251. Which is your very cozy and offer all amenities and great service. The food and drinks are ver t good and the location is convenient. Above all else, they work with 'GorgeUs Tours " Who provides transportation services for local sightseeing, tours and PDX transportation?

Older hotel but well maintained grounds and rooms. Very clean, off of main interstate and far enough from train route for quiet stay but still well located to center of town. Restaurant clean, comfortable, convenient and moderately priced for food quality and quantity. All personnel very personable and facility very pet accommodating for a fair fee. Terrific stopover in-between major destinations.

Overall good experience. Noisy neighbor, but not unexpected. This isn’t a 5 star resort, but it’s a great place for its classification. This is my second time here, both times for work. Definitely will stay here again.

You can fill up at low prices. I went a few times. First time I got the turkey dinner. Good, except what was served as stuffing was just mushy croutons. The next time I went I had what was called Irish Stew, which was really vegetable soup with some sausage in it. I asked the server if she mistakenly got me the vegetable soup; I had apple pie for dessert and was asked if I wanted it heated up with ice cream and I said No, and the pie came out barely defrosted.

While we’re happy to hear your praise for our value and our turkey dinner overall, we’re saddened that the quality of our stuffing, soup, and pie fell short of expectation.

Our general manager, Oceana, is eager to hear more about your experience; when you have a moment, please reach out to her at oceana@cousinsthedalles.com so we can make this right.

We enjoyed our stay at Country Cousins. It had an old timey feel and everyone was so very accommodating for our pet. The food was delicious at the restaurant, the room was comfortable and the price was fair.

Another great stray @Cousins. Room was clean and ready to go. There is a nice on site restaurant here but we didn't eat here because it was too crowded. We stayed here on our way to the Oregon Coast.
