Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable rooms, many with fireplaces, but may benefit from some modernization. The friendly service is accommodating to personal requests, but lacks knowledge on local activities. The location is excellent for hiking trails but can be noisy and crowded at times. Dining options are decent with limited choices, and the facilities are well-maintained.
The hotel provides a lovely stay with nice rooms, a bit noisy though. The service is good despite some distraction, and the location is excellent for outdoor activities. Dining options are limited, but the facilities are praise-worthy.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms felt a bit unclean with many hikers around and were overpriced, they had decent space and a quaint feeling. The service staff were helpful and courteous, although not always readily available, and the location was great for exploring the Mt. Hood area. The dining options were varied with some great choices but could be less appealing due to the mix of guests present.
