July 25, 2026Livin4adventureNice location, some improvements needed
The location is nice. We had a river view ground floor room, the room was a bit dated, smelled very strongly of dog. Air conditioner did not work appropriately. The screen door did not work, constantly sticking or coming off the track. Front desk was not very responsive, said they would escalate my issues to their oncoming supervisor but we never received a response. The pool was okay, the restaurant I heard was not great from other members of my party so I did not try it. Overall, I feel my experience was such as issue due to the smell of the room, it really set the tone but not all rooms are like that and it is a nice property.

The resort was beautiful! It was located in the perfect spot by the river. We were able to easily drive to Washington and wineries in Oregon. It had all the accommodations of a perfect visit. Nice pool area, outside seating by the River, comfortable bed and room. The restaurant food was five star. I had the seasonal salmon over mixed vegetables. We also ate breakfast - excellent choices. The staff were friendly and helpful. I recommend a balcony room facing the river. Quite a beautiful way to wake up or end the day.

June 23, 2026Jenz99Loud and warm
We are staying at the Best Western right now, and pretty disappointed with our experience so far. Booked a river view executive room to try and escape the freeway noise, but we are right at the end of the hotel still next to the freeway. Incredibly loud. Also, the AC situation is a joke. Have the equivalent of a window AC in our 3rd floor room, and it doesn't cool much. Followed the instructions on the unit and it runs for 2 minutes and shuts off. Nice and cool in the hallways, but room is a sauna. And between the temp outside and the road noise can't open the balcony to cool it off. I hope the forecast is right, ot I am not sleeping for 3 nights. Restaurant and front desk staff have been pleasant. And our view is phenomenal. But it can't fix the physical plant issues.

Right on the river
This hotel is right off the highway in a perfect location to explore the Columbia River Gorge, the fruit loop, and Mt Hood. The front of the hotel faces the parking lot and the back faces the river. There is a walking path along the river that takes you to the marina. The hotel restaurant has gorgeous views of the river and you can sit inside or outside. There is also a guest laundry on site that is very convenient.

Excellent stay on the river - fabulous views
only stayed 1 night and wish we'd stayed longer as didn't make use of the pool or had chance to explore Hood River more. we had a king room with balcony overlooking the river and enjoyed watching the bridge traffic as well as the views across the river. it was more expensive but felt it was worth it. the hotel feels very new and modern and we had a large room which was very clean and comfortable. it had no safe but was otherwise well equipped with coffee maker, fridge etc. the bar and restaurant seemed very popular on the evening although we walked into town for something to eat (a good trail runs from the hotel along the waterfront and into downtown). Parking was free and although a little out of town, the location worked well for us - using the trail as mentioned above. it is right next to a gas station, and fast foods options too. we got a voucher to use in the restaurant rather than an included breakfast - we decided to use it on breakfast and we were very impressed with the choice, service and quality of food we had. Yes - the voucher didn't cover the full cost but it was definitely a step up from the 'included breakfasts' at many chain hotels. Would definitely recommend when in the area and if you can, do upgrade to a balcony room overlooking the river.
