The Mr. and I both chose the Croissant Royale, S chose the avocado toast, and M had the Spiced Breakfast Burrito. The portions were generous and nicely plated. We all enjoyed our choices. Additionally, the Mr. and I ordered the strawberry shortcake to share. The base was a lemon scone, topped with fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. It was the best thing I ate in Oregon! Service was a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry, so it wasn't a big deal. A delicious brunch coupled with a beautiful view made for an excellent experience!

As we were checking out we spotted on their tap list a beer from a local brewery we haven't tried before so we got a small pour of that and it was quite good.

I booked a mid-week King with River View in late October 2025 on the recommendation of a greater…read morePortland visitors guide. 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.

Their beer flights come with 6 pours each and it's served in a tall sail (or sharkfin?) shaped tower, each choice is labeled so you know what you're drinking. Their burger with bacon tomato jam was a 10/10! So much flavor and the bun was fresh and lightly buttered and toasted (this really takes it up a notch!). The meat was very tender and lots of flavor (tasted high quality). It's served with a heaping order of fries (or you can upcharge it for $2 and do salad, soup or sweet potato fries). Their chicken wings were tender and came off the bones easily while still having crispy edges. Perfection. After a swim in the river across the street, this place is a chill spot for good food, beer and service. They have indoor seating with views and outdoor seating as well. Inside was nice and cool on a hot day. I'm already looking forward to the next visit!
