Inn at the Gorge

House has lots of character, Victoria and the chef were great. Bathroom VERY dirty. I don't think the back patio has been cleaned for weeks.Signage could be updated to look professional (Not a marker) For the price I would stay somewhere else. We had to ask for shampoo and hand soap. No coffee in tin. The breakfast was amazing!

A really quaint and lovely place to stay. Within an easy hour drive from Portland airport and in the great town of Hood River. We stayed in the Secret Room and had a fantastic time. The room was super comfy and spacious and had lots of nice little touches to make it feel homely. There was a great choice of cooked to order breakfasts, including frittata and savoury crepes after homemade granola and parfait. The staff were really friendly and attentive. There is a veranda to sit out on in the evening and even a hot tub. Hood River is a really nice place to explore the Columbia River Gorge, with lots of things to do in the area like cycling the fruit loop, exploring waterfalls, and sampling the breweries.

Just a wonderful experience. The owner and staff are exceptional and personable. Literally would give the shirt off their back. Incredible breakfast each morning. Staff were quick to help us with any questions or things we needed. Loved the morning chats with Michael.

This place is an absolute gem. My first time staying there and I will definitely return. My room was perfect, lots of space, very comfortable bed, very clean. I wish I had had time to take a bath in the large bathtub and take a dip in the hot tub. Next visit! The staff is so friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Can’t recommend the Inn enough.

This B&B is a friendly , fun place to stay . It’s by no means fancy . It’s an 100 year old house decorated with eclectic furniture. It didn’t bother us because we found it fun . Everything in our room was in working order and very clean. Our suite was large and super comfortable. We had a living area with a kitchenette and a TV separate from the bedroom area . I do agree with other reviewers that the rugs need a good cleaning . Each morning we had a great breakfast and coffee. We spent lots of time on the porch reading and chatting with the other guests .

Our stay at the Inn at the Gorge in the Cascade Suite was a major letdown. As avid visitors to Hood River, we were excited to try out this inn, but it failed to meet even basic expectations. Pros: The check-in process was straightforward with no need for interaction, and parking was conveniently located next to the inn. While the lobby boasted pastries, the lack of advertised kombucha on tap was disappointing. We appreciated the quietness of the place during our stay, likely due to fewer guests in the winter months. Cons: The main reason we chose this inn was for the hot tub, but it turned out to be a complete disaster. We specifically chose this place for its advertised hot tub, eagerly anticipating a relaxing soak after a day exploring the gorge. However, what we found upon opening the lid was far from idyllic. The hot tub emitted a strong odor of mildew, and the water was a repulsive shade of yellow, indicating a severe lack of cleanliness and maintenance. It was evident that the tub hadn't been properly cleaned or drained for some time. This was a major letdown considering it was the primary reason for selecting this inn. Despite being aware that it was winter, it's unacceptable to advertise an amenity that is clearly neglected and unusable. Just because there may be fewer guests during this season doesn't justify neglecting maintenance. Guests have every right to expect the amenities promised on the website to be in a usable state regardless of the time of year. We received a text from the owner on our last day informing us that check out was at 11:00am and asked us to leave the door ajar when ready to check out. On the morning of our departure, after prepacking our car and heading off to an early breakfast, we closed the door completely indicating we were NOT ready to check out. Despite following instructions we returned at 10:25am to find a staff member cleaning our room, well before the designated checkout time of 11:00 am. When questioned, the staff member seemed confused and cited that he thought we had left since our belongings were gone, yet he shouldn't have entered a room with a closed door as per the inn's own instructions. This isn't an isolated incident; a previous reviewer (Cary G, one year ago on Jan 2023 titled "BUYER BEWARE") encountered a similar issue with cleaning staff entering their room prior to the designated check out time, indicating a systemic problem with communication and management. The owner's response to previous negative reviews, including the one from Cary G in January 2023, is indicative of a serious problem with communication and accountability. Despite claiming to take matters seriously, it's evident that little action has been taken to address ongoing issues. The lack of integrity displayed and failure to rectify persistent problems, is deeply concerning. It's unacceptable for an owner to be unable to effectively communicate with their own staff and to repeatedly fail to address long-standing issu

Inn at the Gorge is the right base of operations for anything you might be up to in Hood River. An easy hour from Portland, you are in the sweet spot for exploring water falls, wine tasting, checking out the local shops and restaurants or all of the above. Fresh coffee and crepes or omelettes each morning and you are fueled for the day. Owner Michael and night manager Brandon and the other staff are more than accommodating, you feel like you are staying with old friends, not another corporate generic hotel. In fact they hosted a thanksgiving weekend party with live music, flowing wine and a good time chatting with the other guests. We had the most relaxing weekend ever and will definitely be back when we need to retreat. People and dog friendly.

I saw the web site for the Inn an thought it would be a good place to take my wife for her birthday. It looked charming and upscale from the street, we loved the idea of a hot tub after a long November hike in the gorge and a gourmet breakfast as shown in the pictures. What we got was quite different. When we arrived at 4:00 there was no one there to let us in or greet us. There was no kombucha, cookies, pastries, or anything in the lobby. We found our room, the Rose room. The bed was nice, but everything else was crowded and shabby at best, with power strips on the floor, a space heater for heat, old carpet, and an old sofa. The bathroom was so cramped that you have to swivel sideways to sit on the toilet. Never the less, we thought we would make the most of things. We changed into our swim suits and made our way to the hot tub shown in the lovely web site pictures. When we got there, the water was cold and there was no power to the tub. Standing out in the cold, we tried for several minutes to get it going when eventually someone came out from the house and told us it doesn't work. At least a sign would have been nice. The gourmet breakfast described in detail and pictured on the website also did not materialize. We got coffee out of an air pot, not espresso like in the pictures. We were given a single, very dry crepe, which sat all alone on the plate. No eggs, no pastries, no fruit, no berries, no juice, no butter, no syrup, nothing else. Again, nothing even close to the web site. I could go on about the poor, worn condition of the building, but I will close with a warning - the second floor has no fire escape. You can do much better in Hood River - I am sorry to say.....

We were very disappointed in the value of the inn versus the price we paid. If you are older or have knee issues, this is not the place to stay as you will have to carry your luggage up a steep staircase and the clawtub/shower combo is an accident risk as it is small and nothing to hold on to in case you lose your balance. We stayed in the Cascade Room. It is also a hilly walk to and from downtown. If you want to spend more time in the downtown area, I recommend staying on Oak Street.
