Perfect location in the heart of Hood River. A block from the train station and a short walk to waterfront. Very clean and chic hotel. Rooftop bar area was nice with beautiful river view. Rooms are tiny and thin walls (but they do provide ear plugs). Will plan to stay here again soon.

I stayed in a tiny king room. It was definitely small and would be perfect for a solo traveler. The room was immaculate and cozy. The hot soak tub and sauna were so nice to have available. Everything was within walking distance too. I will be back!

Getting in the property through the main door can be challenging (steps and doors are in the way when you are carrying luggage) but we found out that there a door on the side which is a lot easier to get in. Overall very nice, the room was some smaller than expected. We had a nice time at the spa. Definitely recommended if you stay in Hood River.

Small, noisy but comfortable rooms. Very minimal no fridge, microwave or bench/chair. Great spot to access downtown Hood River. At checking we were handed our key cards and they said have a good stay. No instructions of when pool, sauna was open. No instructions about when and where coffee was an available. We were able to take our own drinks up to the roof top because it is not open for drinks or food yet.

This is a perfect property for a couples get away or a family with children over the age of 16. Unfortunately I’m neither. We did a late check in and had a hard time finding parking in front of the hotel. Our room was very very small and the bed was too firm. Unfortunately the sound down the hall and the neighboring rooms was too loud. I left the property feeling very tired and sore. We are thankful for the help unloading our luggage and for the cleanliness of the room. Hopefully at a later time we can enjoy the spa benefits on their own.

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.

While charming and the spa was nice, our stay here left something to be desired. First, the room smelled like kitty litter, not really sure why. Second, the room featured a mini-split for heating/cooling which was appreciated since the small room easily got too warm at night even in April (and the it was too noisy outside to leave the window open). But the AC was aimed directly at our heads as we slept, which made sleeping difficult. (Already a challenge thanks to the couple arguing in the next room until 1am, and loud music from the bar across the street). Not the worst stay, and staff were nice, but next time we’ll probably try a different hotel.

Very new and very clean. Bar staff was top notch. The rooms were boiling hot and managment has the thermostats locked to heat only. Each room has its own split system so it makes no sense to have them locked...made the night unbearable with no sleep.
