Best Western Plus Hood River Inn

I stayed on floor 3 with balcony. On a Sunday night just before summer tourist season, the price was almost reasonable. The room was clean and comfortable, and was quiet. I came to hood River by bus, after hiking Dog mountain from the seasonal shuttle. Without a car, and maybe a worse from wear, I was pleased that check-in was nice to me. The outdoor heated pool and hot tub with a view or the river helped my recovery from the windy and very steep hike.

Liked how quiet the hotel was.

The Hotel is located in a beautiful place right by the riverside. They have amazing and friendly staff at the hotel and riverside restaurant. Our first wow was that they have smart TVs that you can cast to and they are connected to wifi with most apps like Netflix and wifi available. The rooms are a good size and come with a decent-sized fridge with a freezer and a microwave. You don't see that a lot with hotels anymore. In most cases, you have to request a microwave or they are not available. The location is perfect and close to everything especially for us since we were here for Kiteboarding. Beautiful views of the river and bridge from the restaurant. Loved that there was ample parking.

The room is comfortable and spacious, and the view is stunning. We change quarters in the front desk for laundry, and the staff (a young lady) who always smiles and warm welcoming is so nice to us. THANK you for being so nice to us TWICE, It's been a unforgettable and good memory and we would like to come back here in the future. Actually we're from Taiwan, although it's a long flight, we are willing to do it again.

Our room had a wonderful view of the River and the bridge going over to Washington state. There was a beautiful, paved walking trail on the river side of the property. They also had outdoor dining overlooking the river. We didn't take advantage of that unfortunately, but it looked very relaxing. I will definitely plan to do that if I have the opportunity to return to Oregon in the future. The day we arrived at the hotel we took the Historic Columbia River Highway just outside of Portland to Hood River which thrilled us all. We loved all the waterfalls on this drive. We didn't realize how many there were on this drive beside Multnomah Falls. They were very close to the road and didn't take a lot of effort to get good views. Since we were short on time, we didn't get to do more hiking, but there seemed to be a lot of good trails. For additional information about the area, we crossed over into Washington state on the bridge near the hotel. We drove a short way to White Salmon, Washington. There we had a wonderful view of Mount Hood. When we departed from the hotel, we took route 35 toward Mount Hood and the Timberline Lodge to eat lunch and see the historic lodge. We enjoyed stopping at a couple of fruit stands on the "Fruit Loop" along the way which we thoroughly enjoyed.
