We were in Hood River as a base for spring wildflower hikes. The location was great: close to good places to eat, easy freeway access. This historic hotel is nicely decorated with some fun touches, like little nooks in the hallways with art supplies. Room was comfortable. They warn about noise and provide earplugs, but even though noise sometimes bothers me, it wasn't a problem here (didn't need the earplugs). Staff were friendly. My husband enjoyed the live music Saturday night.

Just be aware that street parking is limited to 3 hours from 8 am to 6 pm Monday through Saturday; you have to pay to park during this time.. You can pay to park at Mount Hood Railroad--$15 for 24 hours, which is very close to the hotel. Also, there is not a fridge or microwave in the room. The staff is glad to microwave something for you (they did my popcorn), you just have to go down to the front desk for it. These "negatives" were not problems for us, just mentioning them in case they're things that matter to other guests.

It's a nice old hotel and has period features, including an old elevator (with a highly sprung scissor door). The room we had was small but nicely decorated and the bed was comfy. There was coffee avaliable in the mornings by reception. It's on the main street (at the bottom of the hill)

It doesn't have it's own parking, but uses the parking at the railway station, which can only be paid for via phone, and doesn't work with non-US phones. The receptionist helped us out with this but that had it's own problems - be sure to clear all your details from the phone after paying - I kept recieving emails meant for other customers for a week after. There was a very large photo over our bed of a woman posing with a deer she's shot, which was odd.

The location could not possibly be more convenient! Right in the heart of the HR. The staff was super helpful and the hotel is dog-friendly. The Lobby deserves separate compliments - the fireplace and hang out area are magical for the evening to relax! They even had a jazz evening downstairs during our stay. The cafe is also a real treat!

The hotel is historical, so one should understand that the rooms are relatively small (at least for a family with a child) and the bathroom is tiny. The bathroom amenities need a bit of fixing. The carpets gotta be changed as well

- Room design was beautiful and original - Beds are big and very comfortable - Location could not be better, just behind the river and downtown where all shops and coffee venues are

- Wi-fi connection was a nightmare at times, not always reliable - I would not pay any extra charge for "river view", the property is low altitude compared to the river, so the views are not great - Bathroom was quite small, and the faucet was actually in the middle of the room

This beautiful, historic hotel completely exceeded my expectations. I took my parents and my brother here for a night in Hood River, and we loved it. The main lobby with the fire place sends you back in time. The rooms were updated and very comfortable. There are tons a breweries around and it's a perfect location in town.

Wonderful time, and would return again. -We had to pay for overnight parking, but no big deal overall. -My parents said the trains woke them up at night due to what side of the building their room was on, through the hotel does offer free earplugs.

The room was well appointed. Everything clean and cute extras. Bed was sooooo comfy. The pictures in rooms and hotel in general were informative and relevant to this past history of the area = fun. Staff welcoming and helpful. We were able to stash our bags while we went out and about to shop and explore. The fireplace and couches in reception added to ambience and warmth of our arrival.

Didn't like to wait until 4pm to check in. 2pm would have been better.

It looks exactly like the pictures! And they have full disclosure in regards to noise and provide earplugs! The desk staff were all very nice and personable! It is historic with delightful images of diaries in the room to read. It was clean and cozy. The trains run past about every couple of hours I did not mind this but it can be disruptive during the night

The television was not hooked to the modem so had to get that working but worked fine after completing that.

Our room was perfect for an overnight in Hood River. Comfortable bed, beautifully furnished and designed. I liked that it was funky, not in a bad way, but a FUN way. The central lobby was welcoming and hosted a diverse crowd of travelers.

The train but I knew it was part of the package and it wasn’t horrible. My husband snores louder than a train, so I was happy. The carpeting was very cool, but I felt dizzy with the few transitions that were between flights/levels. The toilet seat was super low… get those quads in shape.

The location, right off the freeway was perfect, the room was definitely quaint and it should be, the hotel was built in 1911. The beds were perfect, very comfortable. Staying there is like traveling back in time, a true adventure. Very pet friendly.

When you travel you expect more conveniences, like maybe coffee maker, microwave or maybe refrigerator. None were available. Parking is a problem, you are parking on the side of their roads, which are on hills. Not much parking anywhere that I seen.

Beautiful location and excellent design with plenty of comfort. All staff were helpful and extremely hospitable. It was so wonderful we plan on returning very soon for a longer vacation. Overall, the love that was put into the preservation of the space is reflected in the design, unique bathroom areas, and elegance of a well traveled space. The train wasn't a huge issue, as they provided ear plugs and fans to help drown the sound. It was actually very easy to get accustomed to and helped make sure I was on time for my conference events. A true treasure of charm and character is enhanced by the beautiful design.

The carpets are in tough shape, but I assume it is because of so many outdoor enthusiasts that stay there. Snow, water, and being pet friendly can be a bit hard on lighter shades of carpet. Also, the towels and available toiletries did not match the ambiance or elegance of the space.
