Top Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Hotel Reviews

Celilo Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice Quiet Convenient spot. Clean."

Best Western Plus Hood River Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a good location. Nice hotel and staff"

Lightwell Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed all over Western Oregon during this trip, and this was my favorite place. It is right in the middle of downtown Hood River, and the property itself is unique and interesting. Highly recommended."

Balch Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Balch will always be one of my favorites. Experience it once, you will make it a tradition. The owner and staff are super delightful. Don’t miss out. Especially recommended for romantic couples. The basket breakfast is nourishing and well presented."

Motel 6 The Dalles, OR

10/10 Excellent

"It was a well maintained hotel looks like maybe it had been remodeled. Couldn't hear our neighbors so better than a lot of places I have stayed. I was surprised there wasn't any shampoo, conditioner or body wash but maybe hotels are getting away with providing those items. No hair dryer so you would need to bring your own. I would definitely stay there again. I can bring all the stuff they don't supply so not a big deal to me. I felt the price was exceptional. Lots of television channels and mattress was very comfortable."

Comfort Inn Columbia Gorge

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Lots of children so not very quiet. Easy access from Highway, but not close to downtown restaurants and shopping."

The Dalles Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Spent one night here on our way home from Dallas. Helpful welcoming staff, clean rooms and convenient location."

8 Mile Farm B&B

10/10 Excellent

"This was a sweet B&B with a lot of thoughtful touches. They have chickens, goats and cows that you can visit. My friend and I enjoyed watching the hummingbirds at the feeder. If you forget something, there are several thoughtful items in the bathroom. They have a coffee station and drug for guests to use as well as bottles of wine for purchase and use of wine glasses, yoga equipment, books, games, blankets. We truly enjoyed our hosts and our stay. Breakfast was wonderful as well!"
