I'm not a big Comfort Inn fan, yet I must give kudos to this facility. Room was large, clean, and functional. Even though I was on the freeway side, it was pretty quiet. Breakfast was a step above the lame breakfasts most motels provides one. Only downside? No elevator to the second floor and a fairly narrow staircase.

Hotel conveniently located by Hwy 84 and very close by the Columbia River. Presentable small lobby with a breakfast room adjacent to it. Good variety of breakfast food with hot items served. Rooms are spacious and clean with comfortable beds but bathrooms are outdated. Walls are thin as we were able to hear conversations from next door occupants. No elevator to the second floor. Overall, a good experience for an overnight stay.

This hotel is a great value! A lot of care is taken in providing guests with a positive experience. The breakfast was tasty with many options. The rooms were very clean, quiet with everything you might need. My husband travels a lot for his work and he was very happy with our night here. We will stay here again

Comfort Inn lived up to its namesake! Rooms were spacious, clean & fairly quiet. (We were upstairs) The shower head was great. It had a few different settings. The complimentary lemon water was nice I was able to fill up my way bottle before a long drive. Breakfast selection was decent. I started my day with warm biscuits & gravy, eggs & sausage. There's a small playground outside of the hotel as well.

Stayed here twice in the last couple months and both times have been really nice. Quiet rooms, nice beds, attentive front desk/ cleaning staff, and a good breakfast.

Our room was clean & comfortable! The lady that checked us in was great! Breakfast was good - eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, etc! Location was good. Close to the freeway and easy to get to! I would stay there again! Gas station, McDonalds, Starbucks, Columbia River & an urgent care near by!

Good place to stay for a mini vacation. The king room was a little small but comfy. The double queen room was large and even had a small couch in it . Both rooms were clean. The staff were great. They let us use the dining room to play cards in and we all had fun in the indoor pool.
