Top Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites The Dalles by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and quiet Comfortable beds!"

Sunset Motel Hood River

8/10 Good

"The property was a little older, but well kept in spite of that. Parking was so convenient, my room was clean and efficient but minimal. The staff was amazing. I think it was the husband and wife team may have been the owners of the managers, but they were fantastic. They went out of their way to try and help me with some issues that I have. I would definitely recommend this place."

Hood River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and cozy, and kind staff."

The Dalles Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Everything with the room was great. I had a great time."

Balch Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem! This vintage hotel is well cared for and felt modern, while it is filled with antiques and memorabilia. It is clean and the amenities are well-thought-out. The food at the restaurant was fabulous as was the service. And the outdoor patio dining with live music at a volume that you could still carry on a conversation was thoroughly enjoyable. The family, owners and caretakers at this hotel, were the kindest, most generous people I’ve ever met. We truly enjoyed spending time with them. We were able to explore Mount Hood and the surrounding orchards and vineyards. The surrounding areas, including the Columbia Gorge, are stunning making a road tour in the area an absolute must. We were there during moderate outdoor temperatures and the rooms were perfect, but I do suspect that during the winter it could be a little chilly, as it does have the original windows. This would not deter me from staying there. I understand they have special decorations for the holidays and we are already looking at dates to go back. Highly recommend this place."

Lightwell Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The rooms are small but very nice. We really enjoyed it. It was clean, modern and sophisticated. The bed was very comfortable. We really like the robes in the room as well. The spa area was nice, but very dark. We did enjoy that you could use parts of the spa area complimentary with your stay. The bar was really nice as well. The front desk was very friendly and helpful at check in. The gal at the spa desk wasn't so friendly."

Inn of the White Salmon

8/10 Good

"Very small, quiet room, tiny bath, nice shower, bed ok but too soft for me, awkward bedside lamp switches, lovely, very quiet, outdoor lounge/garden areas, really cute quiet, friendly town. Price was right."

Budget Inn Motel

10/10 Excellent

"These folks are helpful at all times"

8 Mile Farm B&B

10/10 Excellent

"The room is very clean and great breakfasts. Hosts are very nice."
