The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 Feb 2025
Our entire stay was excellent from start to finish. Staff was accommodating and informative. The food in the dining room was very good and reasonably priced with an excellent waiter. Our room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The only downside was the decorating of the rooms, lobby, and especially the bar area was as if it was done by Home Depot and Target. The lighting throughout (fixtures included) was way too harsh. The entrance was not welcoming. The grounds were not up to the level I remembered several years ago. Whoever decorated the hotel did not even attempt to match the uniqueness of the building and it's time period. A grand fireplace with a pathetic gas flame is just one example. I'm not a decorator but just have an appreciation for such a potently great property for the want of (granted some serious investment) of love and care.

The hotel is beautiful, very clean and well maintained. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Ate breakfast at the restaurant, the food was excellent as was the service. The river view, waterfall and the grounds are wonderful - the holiday lights are a nice special touch.

When we arrived, the lobby was full of people enjoying themselves and mingling. We missed last call for food by 20 minutes, but they still took our order! Our room was very charming and facing east to the morning sun. Beautiful trails around the hotel.

STUNNING location, STUNNING views, and very friendly staff. Bed/sheet/pillow very comfy. I love that they are dog friendly, but then you can't bring dog anywhere to eat with you or drink with you, so it's a little hard to enjoy the amazing lounge/restaurant. Otherwise, a perfect stay in a vintage historic gem in one of the most beautiful places on Earth

Room tip: Request a room far away from the restaurant/bar. If you bring your pupper, they won't let him in the lounge or restaurant, just FYI

Thank you for your warm words and happy that you enjoyed your visit. Having our four-legged friends in the restaurant is not allowed by law, so we can't really do much about it, but I'm sure they will enjoy the walks on the grounds. We hope to see you back.

I had a spectacular time at the Columbia Gorge Hotel. It's got old world charm, panoramic beautiful views and fantastic accommodations. Donna greet us with confidence, we knew we were in good hands. She was kind, articulate and helpful in all the right ways. I will definitely come back to enjoy the beauty of the hotel and the great town of Hood River!

Room tip: Don't be afraid of the drive there it can be windy but the beauty and fun that awaits is all worth it. And come humble.

I love a historic hotel. Complete with spa and full restaurant, this hotels offers beautiful views from the cliffs of the gorge and beautiful grounds around the hotel. Not all rooms offer this view so check carefully when booking. The beds are comfortable and the hotel clean. I particularly enjoy the historic items and notes around the hotel and wish there were even more.
