Hood River Hotel

The room was poorly furnished, no amenities like coffee maker, only overpriced candy bars and 3 dollar mini bottles of water. The bathroom was cramped, hardly the space to use the toilets. Overrated for the price, it's a real disappointement.

Hood River is a beautiful area to spend time. The historic hotel has been thoughtfully renovated. The rooms are small but very comfortable. The main lobby and adjoining restaurant is beautifully restored. The hotel is located across from the train station so the hotel provides earplugs! I was impressed with the attention to detail. Highly recommended!

The Hood River Hotel is well located in downtown Hood River and near to the Hood River Railroad where we were booked for rail bikes during our stay. We had a lovely, quirky room on the inner courtyard, the bed was soooo comfy and all the little extras are super. The lobby coffee is very good and only surpassed by the hot apple cider🍎 - breakfast in the cafe downstairs should not be missed! Wish we were staying longer!

We recently stayed at the Hood River Hotel, a quirky and historic place with rooms of all shapes and sizes. The welcome was warm, and they even acknowledged my birthday with a small gesture in the room. Unfortunately, they missed honoring our request to remove the minibar and not serve alcohol, as we are a sober couple. Our king-size suite came with a full-size refrigerator, a retro-style microwave, a single-burner cooking appliance, and a coffee maker. The kitchen was stocked with dishes and utensils. The closet, shaped like a triangle, included an iron, a rack to hang clothes, and a pull chain. The bathroom, with a shower/tub combo, sink, and toilet, was cramped with no space to put anything. The shower curtain had two magnets that made it cling awkwardly while we showered. In the bedroom, we found a portable AC unit, a fan, and a ceramic heater, but despite several lights, the room remained dark. The toilet, concerningly, had water rising well above the rim with each flush. The main issue was the noise. While the hotel provides earplugs, they didn’t help when the nearby train shook us awake. Housekeeping also requires effort from guests. They only clean between 9 AM and 5 PM if you're out of the room, and if the “Do Not Disturb” sign isn't hung correctly, they won’t come at all. Despite bringing the oversight to the front desk’s attention, we were met with apathy and just received towels. Throughout our stay, we had overflowing garbage, no toilet paper, no coffee, and ran out of towels—basic necessities that should have been taken care of. The hotel has its charms and certainly feels trendy, but between the noise, the uncomfortable bed, and the door that didn’t latch properly, I found myself missing the comfort and reliability of a corporate hotel. The lack of attention to housekeeping and the repeated warnings about charging us for makeup stains on linens felt excessive. I wouldn’t return, as the experience left much desired.

Plusses: great location right on the main street, easy parking down the street, knowledgeable and very friendly front desk staff, and I love that the windows open so you can let in outside air. The hotel is historic which means a few quirks such as the lift, and there is noise from the train and depending on your room, maybe the main street. Neither of those bother me. Highly recommend.

I love historic hotels and HR Hotel is quite a delight. The 3 star rating is for the extreme a/c not controllable by guest. BRRRRR☃️ The bed great as are the pillows. Small bathroom with a mighty shower. I liked the little amenities in the room. So cute. The staff exemplary. Atmosphere lovely and location amazing.

It makes a change to stay in a building with a history, charm and features rather than the featureless boxes that are so popular nowadays Large welcoming reception area, though reception itself was somewhat perfunctory Watch your extremities in the lift. That inner door snaps shut Room was fine, 2 Beds. Nice toiletries. Step up to the bathroom to look out for during the night The steam heating didn't appear to be on but there was an electric heater in the cupboard. We had a forward facing room with a wonderful slope to the floor, upwards from door to windows. Could have skied on that slope. 😁 Free coffee / hot water/tea in reception 24/7. Not entirely sure but when we left at around 7.30am they're didn't seem to be any life in the attached scandi cafe recommended for breakfast. Post installed usb charge extensions but they seem very slow. Used my own multisocket instead. Had no problems with general noise. Train was at the back, our room at front. Road works outside currently stopping any passing traffic (though the women shouting outside at the top of her voice at 4 on the morning was a right pain.

This was an adventure to be experienced. Yes the hotel is old and has many antiques, and the location is great. Walking distance for shopping and dining. The room was very clean, and had new carpeting. The train does run multiple times during the night. You can also hear a shoe drop from your upstairs neighbor. Street parking, it is free after 6 pm until 8 am, otherwise you must pay. They advertise adult beverages, but the night clerk was too engrossed in her phone to sell a beverage. My recommendation to management would be to hire a couple staff members that smile and want to be there, it would have set the tone for a more enjoyable stay.

This hotel is INCREDIBLY LOUD. It is UNBEARABLY LOUD. Between the constant noise of the train and the steam heaters, it sounds like I’m trying to sleep in a working mine. I went down to ask reception for ear plugs at 2 a.m., nowhere to be seen. Unless of course the receptionist was one of the three individuals standing outside the hotel smoking pot as it drifted into the lobby. I am learning not to book off of location and uniqueness, why pay over $600 to stay for two nights when and pay for parking (YES PARKING), breakfast and have no amenities. When I could stay at the local La Quinta and get parking, free breakfast, a pool, a gym, and a quiet stay for MUCH cheaper. What a bummer.
