Amazing new hotel. Staff was really friendly. They have done a wonderful job with the common areas and rooms. Stayed in an inside queen room which was small but well appointed—very cozy! The spa area was great, the only complaint being that the airflow wasn’t great so our eyes burned a bit after using. We will stay again!

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.

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.
