Columbia Gorge Hotel & Spa

Exceptional

Liked: VintageUpdated appearance and remodelExcellent dining experience

Wonderful hotel with fabulous views...

Liked: The restaurant was fabulous. Excellent menu, great food well prepared. Good wine list and great bar. Bar menu was also quite good and you cou eat outside with a view of the river or in the very elegant and comfortable lounge. The location had a very large garden with its own waterfall overlooking the Columbia River Gorge.
Disliked: You had to ask the front desk staff to run the elevator (over 100 years old).

Relaxing and beautiful

Liked: Excellent room service, comfortable bed, friendly staff, and beautiful area. We stayed for Memorial Day weekend and enjoyed a wonderful time relaxing at the spa and around the hotel grounds. Unfortunately, our car had broken down about 15 minutes from the hotel, and we had to get it towed to their parking lot. The staff were very accommodating about this and let us keep the car there an extra night while we worked out how to get it to the mechanic since everything was closed for the holiday. Beautiful views.
Disliked: Not much to dislike! Since our car had broken down, we were unable to go anywhere, which did hamper the experience slightly. There's not much to do at the hotel itself besides eat, and there's nothing walkable from the location. Additionally, a wedding was occurring at the hotel while we were there, which felt a little awkward since the property is fairly small.

Beautiful hotel and grounds

Liked: We were married here 37 years ago and came back for our anniversary. It is still so beautiful. The grounds and all the gardens are absolutely beautiful. The hotel sits on a bluff above the Columbia River. Staff was very nice and made our anniversary special. Our room, which had a gas fireplace, was beautiful with a view of the gardens and river. I highly recommend this hotel for a special occasion or a peaceful getaway.

Old moldy small rooms

Liked: Nothing I like at this place
Disliked: Old hotel with moldy smell. Very tiny room and bathroom. No hooks for towels at all. Garden view it is roof view:( Personal is rude. The manadger is hiding from customers. Nobody knows where he is and when will be. Big signs all over that they have life music at 8 pm. But nobody told us that restaurant is closed at 8 pm. No music either. Bar has limited menu not good for vegetarian. Slow service too. Thursday hotel has wedding. Most property was closed.

Great old hotel and very...

Liked: Staff were pleasant and helpful. Great old building. Outstanding Location.
Disliked: My comments below pertain to the Dinner as we did not have the breakfast. Food was good, but not great, Service was slow, Prices were high and not reflective of the food and service.
