Enjoyed the hot tub the most. Room was small but expected in a historic building. Room was clean and modern. Loved the shower head…so much we bought one on-line. Loved all the local shops within walking distance of the hotel. Would definitely stay here again. Not disappointed.

We were THRILLED to know that the hotel was finally open and available for an overnight during our Thanksgiving travels. There were the obligatory minute challenges with it being so newly opened during our visit but the service and hospitality far outweighed any inconvenience we encountered. The hotel is absolutely wonderful from top to bottom and the investment in everything from the outside bricks to the gorgeous tile was very obvious. We were disappointed in a few aspects of our stay such as the spa/hot pool not yet being available but the beautiful building, wonderful staff, service, and atmosphere more than made up for that.

Love this new spot in Hood River! They were less than two months old when I stayed, so they were still working on some things, but nothing too annoying. The lobby/bar/basecamp were very nice. Lots of options for seating and lounging. As other reviews mentioned, the rooms are quite small, but the common areas made up for it. And it was still enough space to lounge and watch TV. You're supposed to be out and about anyways! The hot tub and sauna were great. The area was really cool with the exposed rock. Only a couple other people were in there, so it felt peaceful. I really wish they had a cold plunge though, that really would have made it perfect. I was worried about noise since I've stayed in Hood River many times and the train and noise from the street can be very loud. I called them before coming in to get a recommendation for the quietest rooms and they did not disappoint! Our room was on the top-floor and south-facing, so it was away from the train and the street. No complaints! Already excited for my next trip back!
