Bingen School Inn - Hallway of Bingen School Inn

If you are planning a trip to Hood River and want an inexpensive but unique experience, keep…read morereading. Bingen School Inn is located just across the river, perfectly situated for visitors to White Salmon and Hood River. I stayed here with a friend while we were doing a three day cycling stage race, and so we wanted something cheap but safe and secure for our bikes. True to its name, the hostel used to be a school house, and like Portland's Kennedy School, the former school rooms are now with simple beds in a dorm style setting. Only instead of the McMenamin's artwork, here at Bingen School Inn we have a small collection of typewriters and other various old objects placed among well-tended vines and swiss cheese plants. The room we stayed in was small, narrow, came with a mini fridge, and two beds. Think dorm room. The floors were a little creaky, and we could only barely hear other occupants down the hall. The beds weren't the best, unfortunately. In fact, this place would get 5 stars if it weren't for the crappy mattress. In the basement area of the Inn there is a huge communal kitchen area with restaurant grade stoves and refrigerators. Outdoors there is a large lounging area and picnic tables. Finally, there is a big auditorium/basketball court adjoining the hostel. While we were there it hosted a friendly potluck for some visiting Buddhists. Meanwhile the owner/manager sports a beard about 2 feet long. Quite nice. I wouldn't recommend coming here with your young children, or making this a romantic weekend stay. It's perfect for a long weekend or a visit for a wedding, or a trip involving bikes, hikes, rivers, and the like. Highly recommend!

Across the Columbia River from the more well known city of Hood River, Bingen is a small town with…read morenot much to call attraction to it (outside of being in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge). It was here, though, we were able to find what appears to be the only hostel in the Gorge. Located in a historic school house built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, it was a quiet hostel (probably because we were some of the few people there) and served us well for the night. We really loved how they kept the majority of the aspects of the school intact when converting it into a hostel. The hallways are lined with lockers, water fountains down at the child level, chalk boards in the rooms; you get the idea. They have a nice large kitchen and common area (maybe the school's old cafeteria?) which is filled a random assortment of furniture, reading material, and other such curiosities. The manager on duty was extremely nice and we had some great conversations with him later in the evening before we retired for bed. It was a nice place to shore up and lay our heads for the night and we will certainly be back.

DISCLAIMER: Yes, yes, I'm a pretty-active Mazama so I am obviously biased!…read more I have had many, many fond memories of staying here. I've taken all the Mazamas climbing classes and now I help with many of them. BUT, FEAR NOT, you don't have to be a Mazama to stay here, not at all (and you might even enjoy the experience MORE if you don't know anything about mountaineering). Think of this as your hostel on the mountain! You can get a bunk here for pretty cheap, probably cheaper than anywhere else in the area. The only catch is that you'll have to hike about 5 minutes to get to the lodge and you have to bring your own bedding. If that sounds too stressful for you, I'm not sure what you're doing on Mt Hood...I hear there are some nice beaches in Florida. There is a huge drying room downstairs, the main room has a rustic fire place, and the top level has all the bunks. You can see the summit of Mt Hood from the rear deck, you can walk to "down town" government camp if you want to experience some rousing night life, historical photos and objects adore the walls, what more could you want? The staff here works hard and is incredibly friendly. You can get a hot dinner or breakfasts and dine with the staff and the other guests; you can even get a sack lunch if you plan to be up on the mountain all day.

This last weekend was my 4th stay at Edgefield and let me tell you all my favorite things plus a…read morefew extra tips! - The vibe is perfect for anyone who is tired of the standard hotel. So much art to look at, curiosities tucked in every corner, space to roam and explore! - Get the passport to make your stay even more rewarding and fun! I love the scavenger hunts and the stamps force you to do things you might not normally do on your own accord. - The full pitch and putt course is a relaxing and a fun way to spend a few hours. It was only $25 per person and took us 3 hours. - I signed up for the Makers Tour and highly recommend it! Lots of tastings and great historical facts along the way. - The soaking pools at night were perfect to relax muscles right before bed plus no kids after 8pm. - This hotel doesn't revolve around children. The movies that were showing were rated R and most of the pubs and pool hall are 21+. Kids are welcome - but I've never seen that many kids around which I like, personally. - It's very Dog Friendly!! - The live music is incredible. I've been here for big concerts on the lawn plus mini concerts down the winery hall. They were all amazing. - It can get noisy between 7-11pm especially in weekends! The building is old - not sure about insulation and things! Bring some earplugs, a positive attitude and maybe enjoy an extra drink! Or go during the week for a quieter experience. - The food is a bit pricey but if you are doing the passport it makes a little more sense. Some of my favorites are the Cajun Tots, Portland Dip, any Burger, and the Bagel and Lox Breakfast is Incredible!!!

​My husband and I recently spent two nights at McMenamins Edgefield to celebrate our birthdays…read more While the property has its unique charms, our experience was a mix of wonderful amenities and significant disturbances. The Highlights * ​The Saltwater Outdoor Pool: This was the absolute highlight of our stay. The water is kept at a perfect 38°C (100°F), making it incredibly relaxing. I highly recommend visiting after 8:00 PM when the pool becomes an 21+ area. * Thoughtful Details: The robes provided were high quality and very comfortable. Pro-tip: Be sure to bring flip-flops for the walk to and from the pool area. * Art & Dining: The murals throughout the hotel are fascinating to look at. We also had great experiences at the on-site bars and the Black Rabbit Restaurant, where both the food and the service were excellent. The Room & Stay Quality ​We specifically booked a room with a private bathroom and shower. However, most rooms at this location utilize communal facilities. Unfortunately, our room was located very close to the shared bathrooms and lavatories. Due to a complete lack of etiquette from other guests using those facilities, it was extremely noisy throughout the night. Because of the poor sleep quality and the noise levels, we likely won't be staying here again. It's a beautiful property, but the layout and noise issues made it difficult to fully enjoy our birthday celebration.

I loved my stay here at the NW Portland hostel. I've been to many hostels around the world, and…read morethis is by far the most calm and peaceful hostel I've been to. They have everything you may need - soap in the shower (bring towels), free water, free social events (cider and wine tastings, city tours, live music), a cafe with food and drinks, and several buildings with rooms. I really appreciated that my 4-bed, all-female room only had me and one other person in it throughout my 4-night stay. I appreciated they don't try to cram the rooms full. I really liked that the bathrooms are private. Each floor has 4 private bathrooms, each with a shower. Each bad has its own bed lamp, charging station, and personal fan. There aren't any bed curtains, though. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location is great and only a 10-20 minute walk into the city. Street parking is available for less than $5 a day. Would choose to come back and stay here again!

They robbed me of one night and then sent the cops down to evict me because I had showed my ID but I had my ID stolen at the local plaid. I had provided a local ID via alternative means, including my power bill from Orlando... And a screenshot of a previous ID with the same license number and verified identification. Portland is not like Washington and does not require a scan for every single check-in. They misrepresented themselves and absolutely put me out on the street when I needed housing. This is why they are getting one star from me. I very rarely log into this account, but I am a very important person, and I am also very influential through alts on social media. This is not a reflection on the person who booked the reservation. It is a reflection on the management of the society and I do not retract a single thing.
