Valentines tradition

This place is absolutely amazing. We are going to make it a Valentine’s Day tradition that we come here every year. We are going to try a different room next time. We were in Griffin‘s loft this time.

Amazing hotel

This is an amazing gem in the middle of Hood River. The room is unique and very functional. Bed is very comfortable, and adjustable for the perfect sleep experience. Complimentary snacks and beverages as well as an espresso machine in the room. The host are responsive to any questions.

“Unique” is an insufficient description for Thistledown. The hotel is over-the-top fabulous. The thematic decor provides visual candy at every turn. Yet modern amenities such as an adjustable bed, power curtains, power skylight shades and more are part of the vintage decor. The hot water takes some time to get running but they warn you about that. Fun place; highly recommended!
