Lovely hotel! A fun place to stop on your way to or from Portland, or just as your target destination itself. Spring is a great time to visit this area -- a drive up toward Mt. Hood was just spectacular. Breakfast at the hotel was yummy, and there are also lots of interesting places to eat in Hood River.

Pleasant and relaxing!
We were only there for one night, but the location is beautiful, and with lake view and having that little water fall right outside my window made for a very nice open the window to sleep kind of night. It was wonderful, staff was very pleasant, only down side is the bar downstairs closed at 9pm and there was even a wedding event there which surprised me on how early they closed up.

Wonderful views and grounds!
Wonderful historical place situated right on the cliffs edge and waterfall overlooking the gorge. The service was friendly and spot on. We only ate breakfast here but it was great also.

April 22, 2026Steve GGreat overnight adventure to enjoy vistas of the Columbia River and historical hotel
The hotel is in a beautiful setting and if you get a river facing room, you do not hear the freeway on the other side. Lots of old world charm and the service couldn't be better. Great staff all around. Our evening meal of salad, lamb shanks, with rice was delicious. A guests dog was barking on the 3rd floor (2nd floor is identified as pet friendly) and was annoying. The rooms are comfortable but the beds are quite firm and disrupted sleep for both of us. Would recommend for an overnight stay for the experience and vistas.

A pleasant stay at a great location
An unbeatable location to see the Columbia River Gorge. The room was large - old but classy. The spring mattress was not great, and you could slightly hear noises from the adjacent rooms. The staff was friendly, and there are many nice places to eat nearby, although many close by 9pm. Overall, we had a nice stay.
