    I have blonde hair, sheets not cleaned, to pay thiiis much money to sleep in dirty sheets someone else's hair in bed/ shower. No staff at 8:45 am, doors all locked up in lobby,and waking up with decaf coffee, go elsewhere.

    Security lock improperly attached.

    Fairly decent Hotel, clean, nice location, however the management or possibly the owner was completely unprofessional, disrespectful and verbally threatening. The Security Lock on our hotel room door was improperly installed, making it ineffective. I accidently opened the door with the security lock in place, the security lock and the molding it was attached to, pulled away from the wall. We requested a room with an operational security lock. The Manager/owner accused us of breaking the security lock from the inside which was intended to keep those on the outside from getting in. The manager/owner did move us to a new room, however after signing for the room change, he began screaming at the top of his lungs, accusing us of breaking the security lock and said he would charge us for repairs. Had there been any other hotels available in Hood River, we would left Sunset Motel and stayed elsewhere. The managers behavior was so explosive, we feared for our safety and barricaded the door with our suitcases. It is sad that I have to write a review like this because the hotel was decent, clean and in a good location. The manager/owners behavior resulted in this review.

    This is how they made our bed.... Really?

    I must say I was very disappointed with stay. Yes this place has been updated within the last couple of years but their housekeeping and customer service is something left to be desired. Our room the next day wasn't even cleaned. They forgot to take out the garbage and the floors still had wrappers from the night before on them. The bed wasn't made and if you look at our pictures carefully you can see the coffee cups haven't been washed. Very disgusting! If you're looking for a quick place to stay and don't care about the amenities or how clean it is be my guest. I guess what really broke the camel's back was when I went down to tell the front desk guy, he kept walking away from me like he didn't want to help. No customer service skills at all and they could care less if you're satisfied with your stay. I think a picture will say a thousand words.....

    Great private view from your room. Quiet, clean and close to town. Pay the extra for a suite with a balcony.

    The Sunset Motel is a lot cleaner on the inside than you'd expect from the outside. It was definitely not worth the price we paid for a night here, but at a much lower price could be a value for a night's stay. The lack of lodging options in Hood River seems to dictate wildly incongruous pricing across the spectrum, especially when you're scoring one of the last hotel rooms in the entire town. That said, I probably wouldn't stay here again for the price I paid. From the outside, this looks like any other motel, but maybe a little cleaner. It's attached to an RV park (more like a trailer park) and laundromat (?) and is located right along Cascade - the main road connecting east and west HR. The hike to downtown from his hotel is about a mile, so it's not really all that walkable. The rooms are basic motel rooms and include coffeemaker, fridge, sink, shower, toilet, bed and flat screen TV. While our rooms definitely had a smoke odor (or at least musty) when we rolled in, a few hours with the windows open seemed to air them out okay. In fact, I'm not really familiar with any motels that don't smell like smoke when you check in. Speaking of check in, the lady working the front desk is a little short on charm. It's all business in that there office. No question. I think I saw a hint of a smile upon check out. But that's about it. Sufficient lodging if you can get it at a reasonable price. That's about it.

    Nice sink area separate from the bathroom.

We have fond memories of this space when it was formerly a quaint micro brewery; now we're staying in the converted brew works that is ideally located in the heart of Hood River. If you're not familiar with this town, you will be equally blown away by the sensational geology and twin volcanos separated by the Gorge itself. The owners are deserving of world-class design and construction awards and for this phenomenal lodge. Combined with their concierge level of service, Horsefeathers is a true gem.

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…read morewebsite talks about a breakfast, but it's really just some danish and "whole fruit" like apples. Etc. Fortunately they provided an in room coffee maker and coffee with filters. The room (The Gorge Room) was ok, and had a Murphy bed (as advertised), but it sure felt like a full not a queen size. Very small. Also, again as advertised, the bathroom for this room is down the hall. This wasn't a problem and we expected it (again, as advertised). However, upon getting into the shower, both the diverter handle and water pressure/temp handle came right off! Fortunately, I was able to get both back into the slots internally and take showers, but that should definitely be fixed/replaced. Overall this is a very old property with lots of charming design and decor. Just be aware that this may come with challenges, and older reviews make it sound better than it is. It certainly isn't living up to its older reputation. It is also largely an unstaffed property. I did see a lady working in back and spoke to her briefly, but other than that, no one.

Sakura Ridge provided a very comfortable stay with everything that we needed to unplug and relax. There were many small details that we appreciated- a beautifully designed and very clean room, comfortable bed and sheets, heated floors, snacks and drinks in the common area (hot cocoa, tea, soda, popcorn), and guidebooks, cookbooks, and maps for guests. The breakfasts were delicious and carefully prepared by Deanna. We had fresh lamb sausage, cherry tomato and goat cheese tart, scrambled eggs with chives, and sorrel salad. The second day, we had a cream cheese omelette, ham wrapped asparagus, and fresh blueberry scone. Deanna also made a berry smoothie both mornings. John was very kind and taught my husband how to feed their lambs on the second morning. We met him at 8am and my husband got to feed 3 lambs at one time! I have to say, it was a unique and fun experience. We stayed in the Orchard Room, which was great. It was built as an addition in 2007, so it has a separate entrance and felt very private. The bathroom was well appointed with a marble walk-in shower and soaking tub. We had a private balcony overlooking the chickens and lambs on the farm, and it offered an AMAZING view of Mt. Hood. One of the best things about Sakura Ridge is that it's situated on a farm with animals (lambs and chickens) and fruits (pears, apples, peaches, plums, and berries) and vegetables. We highly recommend staying here and would love to return in the summer.
