July 24, 2026Y HBig Disappointment!!!
Return customer very disappointed with unfriendly staff! Untrained/rude staff at front desk , dining room and bar!! Used to be a very classy nice stop, now one can get better service elsewhere! Don't know when staffing changes or who did the hiring but certainly wasn't a graduate of "the school of hospitality"! Enough said, just recommend one go elsewhere rather than being subjected to nastiness here!

We enjoyed our stay at the Columbia Gorge Hotel. The hotel and grounds are just beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was big, clean and quiet. We ate dinner at the hotel, and it was good. Our server was very nice and gave us great service. After dinner, we walked around the grounds. The view of the Columbia River is beautiful and the grounds surrounding the hotel are lovely and well cared for. In the morning, fresh coffee was available downstairs. We would love to stay here again. Thank you!

Absolutely Gorgeous
We had such a lovely stay! The hotel itself is gorgeous and has so much character, and is in the most scenic location. The waterfall and views of the gorge made our short stay better than we could have imagined. The staff were lovely, especially at the restaurant and bar. We can’t wait to go back!

Terrible Eperience
We had the Executive Suite (312) on 7/20 to 7/23 and paid $1058.16, it was NOT worth it. There was nothing special in the room that made it special. Coffee maker was old and hasnt been cleaned out in awhile so the coffee didnt taste like coffee, the robes were very rough and didnt match, the towels were like they were rinsed in cement that they were so rough and hard on the body to use and ABSOLUTELY NO COUNTER SPACE in the bathroom or anywhee for that matter, and the furniture needed to be upgraded. The room smelled terrible of urine in the corner of the living room by the couch closest to the window. We had to air out the room and use Febreeze to help take the stinch away. It helped some for a bit but not all, the smell would come back. We asked for a "PET FREE ROOM" as to Im HIGHLY ALLERGIC to cats and dogs. A pet had stayed in that room for sure. I feel I was lied to, to take that suite. The "Garden View" was the view of the parking lot with some flowers and bushes. It was our 52nd Wedding Anniversary too. We made the best of it, but very disappointed. The hotel said they were full so we couldnt change rooms and we already paid for the "Executive Suite". But sorry to say we will NEVER stay there again.

Nice historic hotel with a 100+ years old elevator!
Location is great. Easy access to the freeway and right on the river. Beautiful view and lovely grounds. The hotel is historic and the rooms are tiny. You cannot use the elevator without a staff member to operate the 100+ year old relic. It’s cool if you like history, not so cool if you’re in a hurry and are on the third floor. It’s operated by the front desk staff so if they’re busy, you have to wait for them to finish what they’re doing before they can operate the elevator for you. The food from the restaurant was delicious. The staff was nice. Value for $300/night, not so sure. I think that price warrants a larger room. The rooms were clean and well kept but remember, this is a historic hotel so the rooms are tiny and have been modified to accommodate all of the electrical needs we seem to need these days. There are railroad tracks along the river which you can hear as they pass by during the day and you can hear the freeway but if you’re in your room with the windows closed, the noise level is minimal.
