Reviews for Columbia Gorge Hotel
Gem on the Columbia
The grounds of this hostoric old hotel are break taking as are the views from its perch over the Columbia River. The Resturant is really very good and moderately priced. Rooms are standard but functional and clean. Only downside is a single staff operated elevator but not that big an issue. A truely lovely little hotel.

Over all relaxing
The grounds and history of the hotel was simply amazing. The staff on all levels were kind, informative and engaged. The rooms amenities are in need of detail - no counter space in the bathroom or room to put your make up on for the special occasdions. TV internet is antiquated. The rooms are very dark - and needs a bit of a facelft. From a color pallet is is outdated.

Beautiful Historic Hotel and Spectacular Vistas
Beautiful, from the front and surrounding gardens, to the little water fall, to the magnificence of the Gorge and the view from the Gorge cliffs Friendly staff, historic hotel, easy access - a must stop even if only for an overnight

Romantic Getaway
The hotel has a very romantic vibe. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean. What they don’t advertise much is how good the restaurant is. The food is amazing especially for dinner, but unfortunately sometimes they close it for events. The hotel is very historic and they have preserved a lot of the original features such as windows and doors. The view of the Columbia river never got old. We would definitely consider going again.

I purchased a package at the Columbia Gorge Hotel, Hood River, OR. We live only 70 miles from this venue, but we were surprised at how little we knew about the area. The room, meals and other amenities were outstanding. The Hotel staff was very friendly, helpful and they went out of their way to fulfill our every need. This made a very wonderful 46th wedding anniversary.

My husband and I stayed at the Columbia Gorge Hotel last October. We thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of the hotel, including the wonderful dinner along with the bountiful breakfast each morning that was also included. The spa package was also quite a treat.
