Scene
Riverside hotel with generic exteriors and lodge-like common areas
The Best Western is a good option for long-term business travelers who want a functional property with self-catering facilities as well as tourists in search of a room with a view. The riverside chain hotel looks bland from the outside, but the lobby is a bit more stylish, with a wooden piano, green and red walls and pillars, wooden vaulted ceilings, and light-wood, slate, and brown accents that give it a contemporary lodge-like appeal. There's also a deck and a stone patio, both with views of the Columbia River and the Bridge of the Gods in the distance.
