Great location and rooms, bad breakfast
Pros:

Rooms and location

Cons:

Breakfast room was too small and the selection of food was poor. I would have gotten rid of the swimming pool used by few, and made the breakfast room bigger, improving the buffet and the seating.

The stay at the Columbia river best western was decent.
Pros:

The location and availability of the property was decent.

Cons:

The smell of the room, loud equipment throughout out the halls would lead to believe that some maintenance is required. Over all the facility is needing some updating and carpet cleaning.

There’s nothing they can do about anything
Pros:

Made reservation well in advance through booking.com. Used the booking app to pay in full one hour before check in. At the check in desk the staff member asked me for my card for payment, I told him I paid in full an hour ago through the app. He said I definitely don’t see anything about a payment in the system. So I pulled out my phone and showed him the payment confirmation with details, time stamp, balance paid, balance due, location, dates etc. He reiterated he didn’t see it in the system and in the same breath told me he was going to run the payment. Then he asked me to check to see if it “double dinged” me, like the only way to know was to just run it again and check my bank account. Sure enough, he charged me twice despite me having just shown him company letterhead e-mail documentation that I had already been charged and owed nothing. He then said “that’s the problem with using 3rd parties for booking, it didn’t update in our system. You’ll PROBABLY get a refund when you checkout, sorry about that”. Insinuating the problem is my fault for using booking.com, now $600 of my vacation money is held hostage for 48 hours and there is absolutely nothing this guy can do about it except apologize because he didn’t take an extra 2 minutes to verify the payment. I called corporate customer service and they told me the same thing, sorry nothing we can do about it. The TV in the bedroom would turn on but wouldn’t connect to any network or apps so we couldn’t watch it. When I told the front desk they apologized and said there wasn’t anything they could do about it besides move us to a smaller room. Dishes in the kitchen suite were dirty. Hope you love beige on browns, every interior color is tan and tope. It’s dark inside even with all the lights on.

Great hotel for the price, would recommend.
Pros:

Great area, close enough to everything but just far enough to be away from downtown. The room was huge for the price, staff was polite, breakfast was great. Great hotel, would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

Only room for improvement would be very minor cleaning details and the elevator was very slow, we chose to use the stairs when we didn’t have our luggage

Cons:

online showed a walk-in shower and it had a tub. checkin was supposed to be 3:00 and the staff said it wouldn't be ready till 3:30. The bed was very uncomfortable. We expected a better breakfast for as much as was charged for the room. We won't return.
