I love this property, with its beautiful views of the river and the bridge. You can faintly hear the train whistles across the river that strikes nostalgia in your mind. On a sunny weekend day you can view boat after boat heading out for the day. I checked in on a Sunday evening, and was lucky enough to receive an upgrade to the Wenatchee suite. The parlor suites are nice, we booked one last December and its perfect if you want a common place for friends and family to gather for cocktails, pizza or both. The sofa and dining table are wonderful and the suite has 2 sliders to your own lanai. This room overlooked the pool, so had to morning been warmer, and had the pool been open for the season...it would've been perfect. I love the comfy king bed and the spacious bathroom. My room was quiet and I slept a bit too late in the morning, but the comfy bed....ahhhh. This hotel is near Janzten Beach ( old mall) now shopping center. Although there is no longer a merry-go-round there, there are several great stores and restaurants to check out...Stanfords by restaurants unlimited and Cracker Barrel as well as Panerra and BJ's Brewhouse. If you want snacks or beverages there is a Safeway nearby as well as Target. Easy I-5 access north and southbound and close to Portland Raceway. If you are touristing and love antiques...there are great stores across the bridge in Vancouver as well as a Sunday farmers market.
