    The lodge is the perfect place for your visit to Hood River. It is located right on the edge of the Colombian gorge. The view from our room was awesome. It is well kept and spotlessly clean. The old oak trees make you feel like a cabin deep in the forest our room 53 over looked beautifully manicured grounds.The lobby is open 24 seven and serves coffee around the clock as well as other hot drinks. Check in and check out for seamless. Overall an awesome stay at the gorge. My wife and I can highly recommend this lodge for your stay.

    I was somewhat nervous when we drove into the lodge. Normally, I stay at Air BNB. I was more than pleasantly surprised when we walked through the lodge grounds and room. It's absolutely stunning. I thought that this would be an amazing place to get married and sure enough, they have events here too. The third floor, corner unit was perfect. Microwave, mini fridge, TV, desk and dining table. Iron and ironing board plus a hair blow dryer. Cozy King bed all though was a bit too soft for my back, but the sleep was really great. We couldn't hear a thing but the white noise of the AC. They did have extra blankets. The hot water for the shower took quite some time to warm up fully, but it worked just fine. The bathroom was spotless and they had more than enough towels. In the little binder, you could read about the motel and property love story, seeing all the upgrades they've done over the years. I love that little touch of history. It makes the place even more special. I would love to return when I'm in Hood River again.

    We are relocating to Texas to be with the grandchildren and this was a perfect place for our last night in the Northwest, at least for a while. Reflecting the values and beauty of Oregon, the room is a all wood with a live plant. The view of the river, quiet setting, fantastic shower, what more could you ask for? How about enough space to stretch out? A wide selection of games at the desk to choose from, close proximity to places like "Bette's Place" to eat. Highly recommended!

    We booked into one of the buildings on the gorge side of the property. Although some of the aspects of the room were a bit "long in the tooth" everything was clean and all the expected amenities were present. The view was gorgeous and the grounds meet and manicured. Although there is plenty of highway noise outside, the room itself was quiet. Considering if you stay closer to town you can get both highway and freight train noise I would opt for this location anytime. Four and a half stars!

    Very solid value, comfortable room, great king bed, cool view. Next door to a resort that costs twice as much. This hotel was built in 2 phases, the original buildings were a 1 story motor hotel circa early 1960s. The lowest room you should book is a partial view, lest you be facing a freeway frontage road with road noise. Later, (visually the 1990s), several 2 story structures were built, some with stunning views. The "classic buildings" are old and a bit worn, and could use some updating. But all rooms are clean and serviceable and a good value. No restaurant, coffee only.

    Beautiful property by the Columbia River with amazing views. We got a room with the river view and balcony on the first floor and had an amazing stay. Although furniture is a bit outdated, we loved the vibe and bed was very comfortable. Towels and sheets all appeared pretty new. Very clean property with everything you need in the room including fridge, microwave and coffee pot. Appreciated the daily housekeeping. Property is also very close to grocery stores and plenty food options. Check in and check out were smooth and fast. Recommend and we plan to stay again!

    This place exceeded my expectations. From the check in process, to the room condition, to the amenities available even at my base room rate, everything about my stay was splendid. I truly wish that I spent more than one night here. Perhaps it's a sign for me to visit Hood River during apple picking season next year so that I can have an excuse to stay here again. Something that will be clear in my mind going forward- waking up to a view of the backyard garden/gazebo area with the rain gently falling on Hood River in the background.

    Amazing! The gardens are worth the stay alone, beautiful! The room was clean and quiet! The entire property was well maintained and very dog friendly! The views are exceptional! The location was great for us and easy, short drive to the main downtown, which allowed us peace and rest when we were back in our room. We loved the place and can't wait to go back!

Don't forget your swim gear.

The front desk keeps very limited hours, so be sure to arrive early enough to be able to check in. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, and check-in was very prompt. I was very surprised by and appreciative of the no-charge room upgrade when I checked in (bigger room than what I'd reserved). There are also electric vehicle chargers on-site, if you have the need. Parking is the only real drawback, that being that there are very few parking spaces in the paved lot, so most visitors' vehicles needed to park in the dirt / gravel area behind the hotel. Prices are far more reasonable than the hotel right next door.

We have fond memories of this space when it was formerly a quaint micro brewery; now we're staying in the converted brew works that is ideally located in the heart of Hood River. If you're not familiar with this town, you will be equally blown away by the sensational geology and twin volcanos separated by the Gorge itself.

On the one hand, the grounds are lovely, with some nice views of a waterfall cascading down to the Columbia River. The hotel has nice "bones" and the interior incorporates a lot of Art Deco touches, although we didn't agree with every design choice. There's a cool, old-fashioned hand-operated elevator that needs a staff member to operate. My biggest issue had to do with the cost of the room in late October given that the view of the river was very limited by small-ish windows and trees. Overall, just not worth the $325/night rate. The hotel appears to be a prime destination for weddings, which could be fantastic if the weather cooperates. It is located just west of small Hood River, which appears to lack much in the way of fine dining, but does have a number of boutiques, a great brewpub (Pfriem), and a great coffee/breakfast place (Kickstand). For us, given all of the other waterfalls along the Gorge, I think we would have been just fine with a less expensive, less notable hotel for the night.

    A Beautiful, Historic Venue --But Serious Issues with On-Site Coordinator…read more The Good: The Columbia Gorge Hotel is absolutely breathtaking. My partner and I both grew up in Hood River and have cherished memories at this hotel, so getting married here was incredibly special. The grounds are STUNNING--barely requiring any decor--and our guests were in awe. Nearly every member of the hotel staff went above and beyond to support us: *The bartenders were friendly, welcoming, and even got to know us the night before after our rehearsal during drinks. *The cleaning team went through linens that had already gone to laundry to help us retrieve hand-embroidered handkerchiefs that were left behind. *The front desk staff helped locate a lost item misplaced by the hotel coordinator the night before and took initiative to solve it. *The food & chef was phenomenal--our guests couldn't stop talking raving. The Bad: Our experience with the venue's on-site coordinator, Cheyanna, was the only major flaw in an otherwise perfect wedding. She regularly gave us improvised answers about policies and logistics that later turned out to be incorrect--often reversing her decisions only after we followed up or asked additional questions. It was clear she hadn't taken notes during our planning meetings, as she was unfamiliar with basic details of our timeline. She dismissed previously approved items (like candles or bar setup with sparkling water) and contradicted herself without explanation. This inconsistency caused confusion and added stress. Her demeanor also changed drastically after final payments were made--she became disengaged, appeared uninterested in coordinating the actual event, and showed little regard for us or our guests. Key issues like outdoor bathrooms not being unlocked for cocktail hour, wet chairs left for guest to arrive to after a morning drizzle, and a nonfunctional sound system during our ceremony went unaddressed. Thankfully, we had hired a personal coordinator (at the hotel's suggestion), who managed the situation and ensured the day stayed on track. Even she commented on how difficult it was to work with Cheyanna and said she would be hesitant to recommend the venue as long as she remains in the role. Final Thoughts: The Columbia Gorge Hotel is a rare and beautiful place to get married. The food, location, and most of the staff are truly exceptional, and we're so grateful to those who treated our day with such care. However, we feel it's important to share our honest experience: the issues with the on-site coordinator were serious. We also received a very unprofessional email from her after posting an initial review on another platform, which only reinforced our concerns. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue--but strongly encourage couples to bring their own coordinator. With proper support, this location has the potential to deliver a flawless and unforgettable wedding day.

The breakfasts were delicious and carefully prepared by Deanna. We had fresh lamb sausage, cherry tomato and goat cheese tart, scrambled eggs with chives, and sorrel salad. The second day, we had a cream cheese omelette, ham wrapped asparagus, and fresh blueberry scone. Deanna also made a berry smoothie both mornings. John was very kind and taught my husband how to feed their lambs on the second morning. We met him at 8am and my husband got to feed 3 lambs at one time! I have to say, it was a unique and fun experience. We stayed in the Orchard Room, which was great. It was built as an addition in 2007, so it has a separate entrance and felt very private. The bathroom was well appointed with a marble walk-in shower and soaking tub. We had a private balcony overlooking the chickens and lambs on the farm, and it offered an AMAZING view of Mt. Hood. One of the best things about Sakura Ridge is that it's situated on a farm with animals (lambs and chickens) and fruits (pears, apples, peaches, plums, and berries) and vegetables. We highly recommend staying here and would love to return in the summer.

On our visit (it was my kiddo and me and our two service dogs) we ended up in a one bedroom with no view next to the parking lot. It was surprisingly quiet and with the a/c blasting it was a place to rest my weary head. Unfortunately I was not expecting the outrageous increase in prices. It had been over 30 years since I visited Hood River and what I thought or assumed would be a less expensive hotel it was over $300 during the summer months. This was for a Queen/King bed (one), shower (no tub), a smaller than usual mini fridge with no freezer and no microwave. There was dog poop outside (just one little dried turd) that the previous guest missed and I'm assuming the maid service missed. You are given one key and you want to make sure you get the after hours number listed on the front side of the front entrance door. You'll also want to make sure you get the WiFi password prior to getting settled in. It's easy to forget to ask about this with how busy the front desk can be. The employees were wonderful and went above and beyond to help me with my service dogs. Once we got settled in there was a loud knock at the door. This was unexpected and startled all of us and I was going on no sleep from a long drive. I think it was the owner of the place who wanted to let us know to get the password at the front and take note of the number at the door for after hours. She also asked about the dog beds provided. They provide the most adorable dog beds and offer an extra sheet to go over it. The floors in our room were dirty and sticky but we always were flip flops to protect our feet. I'm sure they clean and mop daily but I'm OCD and used to clean homes so I'm a stickler for super clean floors. The toilet paper roll was on the toilet plunger which bothered me since I thought that was super gross. I feel bad saying anything negative. The breakfast in the morning was absolutely lovely and made up for the room. The employees were all very friendly and went above and beyond to help out. Totally separate from the cleanliness of the room and the dried dog poop outside the door of the room.
