A Big Fat Welcome to Washougal's Best Western Parkersville Inn & Suites

Hallelujah! We've got a hotel in Washougal. We haven't had decent accommodations since the Park Hotel stood on the corner of 17th & B Street in the late 1890's. That place must have been just swell back then. And wouldn't be fun to have that now? Well we don't. We've got a brand new Best Western Inn and Suites located at 121 South 2nd St.


This $5.5 million hotel, owned by Shree Bhagya Laxmi LLC, offers 79 smoke-free rooms, including 54 suites. It just so happened that I needed accommodations for my parents when they come to visit in May. I was so pleased when the Inn opened at the end of March. The second I walked through the doors and into beautiful lobby, I knew that my parents would be happy staying at the Inn. Jeff Brody, General Manager of the Inn, very kindly gave me a private tour of the facilities.

The decor is simply lovely with clean lines in a combination of colors found in nature - a perfect complement to our area on the Columbia River. Amenities include:

  • Pool
  • Spa
  • Sauna
  • Exercise room
  • Business center
  • Complimentary hot breakfast (not just the typical waffle iron and petrified bagels, folks)
  • Views of the Columbia River
  • Flat screen TVs in every room
If you are planning on driving our way in the summer, I recommend staying a day or two in Washougal. Sleep comfortably at the Best Western Parkersville Inn and Suites while enjoying the multitude of recreational activities of the Columbia River Gorge. If you're attending the 2009 Washougal Motocross Nationals, book your room or suite now. If you see Jim at the Inn, tell him Stephanie Hatton from Goof Proof Services, sent you.
