    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.....

    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.

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

    Nice sink area separate from the bathroom.

    Columbia Cliff Villas serves its purpose quite nicely. Despite it literally being right along…read morerailroad tracks and a busy freeway, I didn't hear a single train or vehicle inside my room. The front desk keeps very limited hours, so be sure to arrive early enough to be able to check in. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, and check-in was very prompt. I was very surprised by and appreciative of the no-charge room upgrade when I checked in (bigger room than what I'd reserved). There are also electric vehicle chargers on-site, if you have the need. Parking is the only real drawback, that being that there are very few parking spaces in the paved lot, so most visitors' vehicles needed to park in the dirt / gravel area behind the hotel. Prices are far more reasonable than the hotel right next door.

What I'm wondering is why it took us so long to stay here again. We liked being here every time we stayed. But, yas knows hows that goes don't cha? The accommodations are amazing. It was cold as a well digger and the room was snug and warm. The scene over the Columbia River is mesmerizing. The grounds are well attended and neat. Don't take my word for it .. sometimes Hammer paints a pretty picture you might not agree wit. Jus go and look for yourself. The hombre up front and the Jane are pleasant, professional, warm and easy to deal wit. I'm jerk'in a nod in their direction. I got no kick about anything here. Like Arnie used ta say. I'll be back.

The Retreat's massive original beams are truly something to behold. Finishes are stunning, yet have an old-world vibe, reminiscent of a European stone inn, but with high-end, classy finishes and elite appliances. 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.

    What a lovely little gem of a place to spend some time! (I…read moreonly wish we'd spent more nights - now we'll have to go back!) Hood River is such a cute little place to visit and to get away from Portland - and it's so super convenient. We recently ventured out for a birthday getaway - and had a night booked in the large Terrace Room here at the B&B. The house is lovely, and neighborhood kitties were sleeping on the porch (though the innkeepers do not feed them). Bowl of Jelly Belly jelly beans in the dining room. The house is warm, cozy, and quiet. On our bed were two little hedgehogs waiting to say hello (ceramic, fyi). PLENTY of hot water to fill the big tub, and even shower off after. Great DVD selection upstairs so you can snuggle in the super-comfy bed and watch an old favorite (Indiana Jones trilogy? Yes, please!) Breakfast was a delight - the other guests were fun and we all talked about our rooms and the critters on the beds when we arrived. Our breakfast began with juice, coffee, tea - and then we plunged right in to incredibly amazing baked pears with walnuts. YUM. We had fruit, mini quiches - everything was outstanding. The Inn is nicely located on a quiet street - and we very easily walked into town and visited shops and had a nice dinner out. The house dog will give a bark at you, then stand there and get his pets, then go on his way (my dogs could never live at a B&B - they'd crawl into people's bags and eat dirty socks - I digress). I cannot think of a single thing lacking here. I will be back again for sure!

The lodge sits on a 72 acre orchard, which also includes some farm lands that houses a couple of Alpaca and a bunch of sheep's. There were the three of us for 4th of July weekend and we booked the Mt. Hood room, and the River room. Both rooms are next to each other and had a patio with a picturesque view of Mount Hood. Both rooms had very comfortable beds, and all the amenities you need. Coffee, WiFi, towel, popcorn, glassware, shower amenities, and the best of all, heated floors in the bathrooms! Price per night rate comes with breakfast, and let me tell you! Breakfast was AMAZING! I actually was looking forward to breakfast every morning. It wasn't just the same skimpy toast, eggs and bacon kind of breakfast, but it was a nutritious and filling breakfast menu that changes every morning! It definitely filled me up until dinner time! Overall I recommend this place if you want a gorgeous, serene, and picturesque getaway! I felt at peace when I returned home. PS: Oscar the farm cat! Very friendly and will greet you every morning!

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.
