What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 419 guest reviews
The Columbia Gorge Hotel earns strong praise for its spectacular river views, beautifully maintained gardens, consistently excellent breakfast, and warm, attentive staff — with several guests returning across decades. However, a recurring thread of complaints points to worn mattresses, room furnishings that feel mismatched or too modern for a property of this historic stature, and occasionally slow dining service. Overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, though guests with high expectations for period-appropriate décor or firm beds may find some gaps.
