It worked for what it...

Liked: Location and price
Disliked: If I would know that hot tub is not working I would booked fodder t place! Heater/AC very loud, medium on cleaning some towels had stains, toilet bowl is broken and not replaced, clearly hazard if it shatters under somebody. Ice bucket still having melted water. Front desk really doesn’t care.

It worked for what I...

Liked: Price and location.
Disliked: Staff meh, facilities not functioning- hot tub broken - it was not on listing - I would otherwise picked different place to stay. Room was medium cleaned, there was still melted water in ice bucket. One of the towels were clean but had stains. The heater/Ac combo is very loud! It worked what I needed it for, but probably wouldn’t recommend it otherwise.

It sucked big time

Liked: It was a totally awful experience.
Disliked: I rented a room specifically because of the hot tub, and we both mentioned that fact to the manager. She accepted payment knowing this fact and never mentioned the hot tub didn't work. Then she would not answer the phone or the door.

Comfortable Getaway

Liked: Comfortable, quiet, friendly staff. Balconies and garden areas with views of the Gorge. While wearing warm clothes you can enjoy evening or morning coffee with a view. For me, this is a nice, occasional personal getaway from the grittiness of Portland, and somewhat affordable in the off season. I like to trek around Hood River on foot and bicycle from the Columbia Gorge express bus. Good jumping off point for riding or walking the Hood valley or the old Gorge Highway to the East (if you don't mind the hills) Main downtown tourist area can be fun for shopping and dining and visiting brewpubs. Waterfront Park and Downtown are about a mile from motel.
Disliked: The hot tub is closed. The indoor pool area is heated, but not quite warm enough this time of year. Most rooms dont have a direct river view from windows. Otherwise, I think this motel is nice.Hood River, a scenic place, is trying to be an international tourist destination, but is not ready for prime time.For trekkers, I should warn you that the Cat (Columbia River Transit) bus system.is geared mainly for locals, and the Upper Valley bus drivers are hostile to sightseers who don't try to arrange an exact schedule by dial-a-ride a day ahead. You can actually get stranded for an hour or two, or even an extra night if you miss a connection to Portland or the Dalles. Some drivers on the Gorge Express bus will call ahead when running late to help you make a connection, but you usually have to ask.

Exceptional

Poor

Don’t waste your time or...

Liked: The location.
Disliked: The room smelled so bad I could hardly be in it. A mix of pinesol and cigarettes. The tables in the room hadn’t been wiped down and the bathtub had hair in it. The jacuzzi was shut down and it said it was an amenity online. Very disappointed. I’m not even staying the night. So bad I’m going back home. Definitely don’t recommend.
