We concur with other reviewers that the staff is top-drawer. Food and service both very good. It's a recently refurbished place, as we understand it. Old, but quite charming. You won't beat the scenery from it's perch high on the bluffs above the Columbia River. Grounds are indeed immaculate. Our room rate of $169 was not what most would call... more

There are not many hotel experiences better or more rewarding than a stay at the Columbia Gorge Hotel. The location, gardens, ambiance, hotel itself are each reason enough to stay, but altogether they make an unforgettable package that is not even overly expensive. On the propperty you overlook a 208 foot waterfall, the mighty Columbia gorge. Can view herons, Stellar... more

While looking through the Oregon "Where To Stay Book", we saw that Hood River was just about the right distance for driving, then spied the photo... more

We expected to love this hotel as we always have. The building is still beautiful, but the service, the food and the gardens just aren't what they used to be. Broke our hearts. more

My wife and I just returned from a week at the Columbia River Gorge and spent the first half at the Gorge Hotel. We almost changed plans and spent the whole time there after our first days in the Hotel, but, couldn't cancel our other reservations. The views, the waterfall, and the area are wonderful, but, the Hotel was the... more

My husband and I just spent one night at the Columbia Gorge Hotel, along with another couple. We were given a special low rate for the opening month ($99), or we wouldn't have stayed at the normal nightly rate ($200+ depending on room and day of week). The hotel closed last spring and just reopened under a new management company.... more
