    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!

    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.

    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 Although furniture is a bit outdated, we loved the vibe and bed was very comfortable.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!

    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!

    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.

    We made a reservation on a whim and what a great surprise we received. This place is stunning. Charming, cozy, set perfect on the lake. The view is perfect for pictures, a wedding, relaxing time with the ones you love. If you appreciate simplicity and comfort, if you prefer to be tuck away, stay here.

Of course you have the stunning view of Mt. Hood in the background, and we were lucky enough for it to be clear on our wedding day, but even on an off day if you can't see the mountain, the grounds are absolutely beautiful and so well maintained that you won't be disappointed. Most of our guests were from out of town and we got so many compliments about it being the most amazing venue they had ever been to. In fact, it took a while to get the dance floor going because people were spending so much time admiring the view and taking pictures! Starting your wedding planning journey can be so confusing and oftentimes frustrating, and finding a venue is where it really starts. Gorge Crest made the process as simple as possible, offering a full, REALISTIC event quote (including things like catering, DJ, etc.) and providing a list of mandatory vendor options. While some may find this limiting, we were pleased to know that they had vetted vendors and were so happy with everyone they recommended. Jena was always quick to respond and worked with us on our requests, including extra time in the Grooms room and letting us leave a car overnight to pack up our decorations in. The only issue we ran into was getting recurring invoices in our email that weren't meant for us... I would just recommend staying on top of what you owe them and know that you may need to remind them that they have made a mistake. Best wishes to anyone who chooses to get married here. It is a very special place.

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.

The bar, adjoining restrooms and such are attached in a way that does not cheapen the natural beauty of it all. It's not a huge selection of beverages, but there's plenty enough you should be able to find at least one or two beverages you like from the beer, wine, cider, seltzer, etc. selections. Finding the Ruins is easy as well as parking. There's great signage pointing you in the right direction, and it's only one block off the main strip in downtown Hood River. The acoustics are fantastic, and it was a blast being able to be right there in front of the stage. The music was loud, but not too loud. I wasn't worried at all about not having earplugs. From what I hear, they have rotating food carts for events and shows. We were able to choose from an ice cream/gourmet ice cream-float cart, and a savory and sweet crêpe cart. We had both of course!
