Inn at the Gorge

We had some intrepidation about this stay given some negative reviews in recent months. Glad to say, the owner has clearly made an effort to address those issues.||Headline news - the hot tub is clean and hot, and the breakfast is freshly cooked to order on the premises!||The building and rooms could do with some maintenance - particularly the shower cubicle, in our room at least - but it didn't affect our stay significantly. ||Overall, a nice comfortable stay in a quiet back street.||Minor gripes - we only had one hot tub towel (the stripey ones), the coffee machine wasn't particularly clean. Not enough to knock a star off.

Very disappointing. We booked at this place because we heard their breakfast was totally amazing and because they had a hot tub. 1/2 hour before check-in time, they sent us a text message saying that their hot tub was no longer available and they would not be serving a real breakfast but rather bread and fruit. (The fruit turned out to be a bowl of small bruised apples.) If we had known ahead what this place was like, there is no way we would have booked there and paid the price that we did. Not worth it. And their communication with us was way too late. Location was nice, but our view was the parking lot, and neither the bathroom door nor the shower door worked properly. And no hot breakfast - which was a huge selling point of this place. And no hot tub - which was one of the things that we wanted for our anniversary weekend getaway. Very disappointing. We felt lied to and deceived.

WARNING: This is no longer a true bed and breakfast. The property has changed ownership, but none of that was made clear when we booked. We chose this place specifically for the B&B experience and all the great reviews about breakfast. On the morning of our arrival, we got a message telling us what time breakfast would be served. Later, after check-in a second message arrived explaining that under the new ownership, breakfast was no longer offered—but there would be “fresh pastries in the lobby.” What we actually found? A single danish cut into tiny pieces, a pot of coffee, and a bowl of apples. That’s it. Calling that “breakfast” feels like a joke. The hot tub is also closed, even though older reviews still mention it. Again, not disclosed anywhere on the listing. I emailed after our stay—politely—requesting a partial refund since we didn’t get what we paid for. No one responded. Not even an acknowledgment. The only good thing I can say is that it’s in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to some good restaurants. But I absolutely would not stay here again, and I feel misled and ignored. This is not the experience we were promised.

We booked this Inn months ago as part of a larger trip so we didn't have the benefit of seeing reviews from April and May 2025. We thought it was a B&B with delicious breakfasts as other earlier reviews stated. Check in confirmation email stated "breakfast is served from 8 am to 10 am." Day of arrival we received our check in instructions with a note that "due to rising costs we have made the difficult decision of simplifying our breakfasts", we did not realize what that meant. In the morning we were told that the store-bought muffins in the dirty plastic container and the small apples were free, but if we had wanted a yogurt parfait we would have had to order in advance and pay extra. ?? ! Trash in the dining area was overflowing onto the floor. We didn't see any other snacks or drinks (bottled water) available. We opted to visit the town and have breakfast at a delicious restaurant. 3 stars because the bed was comfortable, room was clean, and the Inn is a lovely house in a nice neighborhood. Please don't advertise as bed and "breakfast", maybe make it clear up front (when free cancellation is still available) that it is really a room with complimentary pastries and coffee available.

Beautiful older home in a nice location. Would have been a good choice if the place was being cared for and the advertising was not deceptive. Not a bed and breakfast, at least not anymore since an apparent ownership change. A big dirty deck covered in leaves, the "selection of fresh fruit" was a bowl of some older tangerines, the hot tub was not available, the "housemade treats/pastries" was some store bought coffee cake cut into small pieces, toilet paper holder was broken, etc. Only notified about the unavailable breakfast and hot tub shortly before arriving via text. Never met anyone who worked at the Inn except a maintenance guy who gave us a passing nod as we drank some coffee (in a very nice living room) from a thermos put out the previous night.

This place is totally skating on old reviews, and our experience was way below what we were expecting / was what advertised. The day of arrival, I got a text saying that we would be able to do a self check-in, however upon our arrival no staff member was around, and the codes provided didn't work. Posted on the door was the below notice, stating that breakfast and the hot tub would both be unavailable. To be clear, we had received absolutely no heads up on this, despite having received multiple emails and texts offering upsell packages such as wine, e-bikes, and massages. The only staff member, Mike, was super helpful and apologetic, and he refunded some of the rate when we complained. I don't think that we should have had to even complain in the first place, and we definitely should have been given notice about the lack of breakfast, hot tub, or staffing

Something happened to this Inn because the reviews don’t come close to our experience. The bones and location are great but it ends there. Rather than a cozy BnB, it feels like a fraternity with random furniture, haphazard service and no breakfast. The filthy front porch was a warning. The lobby is an odd assortment of seating and tables, none of it inviting. While our room was clean, the furniture is IKEA, there were virtually no blankets on the bed, and the towel bar immediately fell off the wall of the bathroom. We were told that the breakfast they used to serve was “unsustainable.” They now put out a basket of bruised apples and a plate of store bought muffins. I didn’t stop to look for coffee. Our stay was a complete disappointment.

The photos online are deceptive—this place looks nothing like it does on the website. Dirty rooms, weird smells. Received a text right before check in letting us know the breakfast has been discontinued and the hot tub is out of service. Look elsewhere.

This was a cute enough spot, a little bit of a walk from downtown. I booked this room without the breakfast option, as I have dietary restrictions I didn't want to worry about accommodating. I overheard other guests saying that breakfast was no longer provided, even though it is advertised as a b&b. This didn't affect me personally, but I did find that to be misleading. There were signs saying that beer and wine were available if the innkeeper was in, but we were around most of the evening and didn't see any offerings. Additionally, the hot tub was closed. Check-in was relatively easy, the room was as presented. The porch was nice to relax on. Not a bad stay, just feel that it could have been more personalized and up to the description.

We chose this B&B based on the reviews and the photos. We were traveling to Hood River for our 20th anniversary and wanted a memorable, personalized experience. PROS: Cute house, nice room, easy/free parking, not too far from downtown, easy check-in and access to the house. CONS: Service and staffing. Spouse had paid for a special package - flowers delivered to room with his message on a card, champagne, and a massage. He really wanted to have a lovely surprise waiting for us. He emailed the owner in advance to confirm the order (payment already made) never heard back. After a long day of travel, he expected that we would walk into the room and be greeted with the flowers, card, champagne.... nothing was there. At breakfast the next morning, the owner was there and asked us where we were staying. We asked about the package that was supposed to be a surprise and got "sorry that happened." And then we were told "as much as I'd love to sell you some flowers, that's not going to happen." That was of course very weird because 1) he should've tried to make it right and 2) there's a flower shop within walking distance of the Inn and 3) also we had already paid for the flowers! There was no sense of making things right or caring about us celebrating a special occasion or having ruined a special surprise. That is ultimately what disappointed us about our stay there. We could've stayed at any of the local hotels if we just wanted a cute room. Don't expect the owner to remember a single thing about you - he asked us at every meal what room we were staying in (it's only a few rooms!). He won't know your names or ask if you are celebrating something. Fine - It's not that kind of personalized experience that we *thought* we'd get at a very small B&B. The website shows a lot of food options. We were promptly told "we're not doing the full menu thing" and it's a you-get-what-you-get breakfast and if you don't want that, they will give you a parfait. The food was fine for me, but not for my spouse who ended up just with the parfait every day. They are understaffed and I'm sure that makes everything a challenge. I can sympathize, it just would've been nice to know what that the image on the website is not what you're getting. For this special of an occasion, we would've stayed somewhere else had we known (it was still pretty expensive the weekend we stayed). I know it was hugely disappointing to not have the romantic surprise remembered - I can only imagine how much worse that would have been if it had been someone planning a wedding proposal or something. We lived, but it was a major bummer for my spouse who really wanted to do something thoughtful. There is no housekeeping or turn-down service. We stayed 4 days. Hood River is lovely and charming. We've been here 4 different times. We love the town and we will be back. We are unlikely to stay here again, but hopefully will more staffing, it can return to the level it was with all the other very positive reviews. The Inn is a really cute house and we did enjoy the room. If you are planning a special occasion trip in the near future, I'd think twice on this one due to the lack of attentino to detail. If you're just passing through, I think it would be just fine and you'll probably have a nice stay.

The Inn at the Gorge is excellent. We stayed in the Cascade room suite. Plenty of room. Sleeps 4 adults. The morning breakfast was prepared fresh. Well worth it! Hot tub outside. Booking was easy. Room was very clean and we were able to check in early. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed two nights in connection with the Hood River Marathon. This is a great little bed and breakfast. The proprietor and staff were warm, friendly, and helpful. They recommended excursions, cooked our breakfast to order, and lent us guide books. We stayed at the Terrace Room, which opens directly to the back patio. It was clean and well put together. The small parking lot was adequate for the number of guest rooms.

I stayed two nights in the 'Terrace Room' and really enjoyed my stay! Comfortable bed, small fridge in the room, robe to wear, and best of all- jacuzzi bathtub in my private bathroom!! The host, Michael, was kind and accommodating, the breakfast was tasty, and the location was a quick walk to the Main Street in Hood River with tons of places to eat, shop and drink. I would highly recommend staying here!

We stayed two nights at this lovely Bed and Breakfast, and loved our stay. We stayed in the Terrace Room with a king size bed and a wonderful bathroom with a rain showerhead in the shower. The bed was so comfortable, and we had a private patio so we were able to leave the windows open all night! The breakfast for both of our mornings was so delicious. It consisted of a breakfast burrito, toast and fruit and granola yogurt! Soooo good! The staff is so friendly and in these Covid times, we communicated by text, and they were so quick to respond to our questions about the TV, and then to ask us what time we wanted breakfast the next morning! Both my husband and I plan to make this a regular stop for our quick get - awayt o Hood River!

We stayed two nights in the Cascade Suite and it was perfect! The bed was ooh lala comfortable and loved having a separate sitting area. We walked from the Inn into downtown, perused the shops and galleries and found some excellent dining at Three Rivers Grill and Sixth Street Bistro. Broder Ost, located in the very cool and historic Hood River Hotel, is an especially excellent and stylish choice for breakfast. Enjoyed meeting the friendly current Inn owner. Hood River is a nice little getaway or home base for windsurfing or hiking in the gorge.

We stayed two nights in the secret room and really enjoyed our time. The contactless check-in and plenty of outdoor space including a nice hot tub made for a safe getaway during Covid times. The staff was always a call or text away if we had questions.

Stayed here in October and it was a picture perfect fall visit. This B&B was beautifully decorated and very well maintained. A fabulous porch to hang out on or have breakfast in the morning. The staff was all very professional and went out of their way to accommodate the guests. The beds and linens were so very soft and comfortable. Lovely soaps in the room and fabulous Hood River coffee. The morning breakfasts were beautifully presented with such a wonderful variety of foods and flavors. They really go all out with the included breakfast! The owner popped in to say hello and offered some great ideas for local hikes. We highly recommend staying here on your next visit to Hood River!

Had a great stay and the staff was super nice! It's really close to town which is great. We stayed in the secret room and it was really clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the hood river area :)

My wife and I chose Inn at the Gorge as one of our first getaways since COVID. We typically stay in hotels but this B&B seemed like a wonderful combination of charm and convenience. Unfortunately, we nearly had to cancel due to some last minute circumstances, but the Inn was able to accommodate our change in plans in a way that allowed us to come and enjoy the property. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful throughout the stay. My wife loved the beautiful yard and hot tub; I loved the old house itself that still had all of the modern conveniences (we really appreciated the kitchen in our room that let us enjoy take-out for lazy days). The Inn is nicely situated so that town itself is a quick walk but far enough away that it is a quiet and peaceful locale. Everyone comments on the wonderful breakfasts and it's definitely the nicest I've had at any B&B and would have been thrilled to order this at a nice restaurant. I really can't recommend this property enough and we look forward to returning.

What a lovely little gem of a place to spend some time! (I only wish we'd spent more nights - now we'll have to go back!) Hood River is such a cute little place to visit and to get away from Portland - and it's so super convenient. We recently ventured out for a birthday getaway - and had a night booked in the large Terrace Room here at the B&B. The house is lovely, and neighborhood kitties were sleeping on the porch (though the innkeepers do not feed them). Bowl of Jelly Belly jelly beans in the dining room. The house is warm, cozy, and quiet. On our bed were two little hedgehogs waiting to say hello (ceramic, fyi). PLENTY of hot water to fill the big tub, and even shower off after. Great DVD selection upstairs so you can snuggle in the super-comfy bed and watch an old favorite (Indiana Jones trilogy? Yes, please!) Breakfast was a delight - the other guests were fun and we all talked about our rooms and the critters on the beds when we arrived. Our breakfast began with juice, coffee, tea - and then we plunged right in to incredibly amazing baked pears with walnuts. YUM. We had fruit, mini quiches - everything was outstanding. The Inn is nicely located on a quiet street - and we very easily walked into town and visited shops and had a nice dinner out. The house dog will give a bark at you, then stand there and get his pets, then go on his way (my dogs could never live at a B&B - they'd crawl into people's bags and eat dirty socks - I digress). I cannot think of a single thing lacking here. I will be back again for sure!

Our experience at this place was everything we could have hoped for in a B&B. Great breakfast and conversation with each of the nice folks who run the Inn, who also have tons of local knowledge. The dog Big'n was certainly a charming host as well. Cozy room with nice amenities at the property. It was just a short walk from the downtown main street area so we enjoyed not having to drive anywhere at night. Thank you for a great stay, and we highly recommend the Inn at the Gorge!

My stay at Inn at the Gorge was pleasant. Nice area, Nice room, Nice breakfast. The incredibly low/horrible internet service was not so nice. If you don't need internet access, this place is a great place to stay for the weekend.

If you want a B&B experience, this is the place. Period correct rooms including claw foot tub & 4 poster bed are very charming. We were greeted by "Big'n" the bloodhound mascot-sweet, lovable guy & the manager. Very knowledgeable about the area. Owner, Michael, made it a point to meet us & answer any ?s. Room was clean. Kitchenette looked serviceable. I would give it 5 stars but we were only there for a brief, one night stopover.

We had a great time at this Inn. We really appreciated the friendly hospitality and beautifully appointed and spacious room plus one of the best breakfast's we have had on this trip! The owner of this Inn will personally greet you and give suggestions if you need. We took his advice and had such a fun time river rafting. We love the town of Hood River and the friendly people. We'll be back!

This is a lovely place to stay in the Hood River area. The location is balanced between the two main strips in the city. The room was very comfortable with a kitchen that came well equipped. The staff was very warm. Thank you Michael!

WARNING--- A new owner has started this up again and is using the previous owners old website with no disclosure. It includes the previous owners names and faces, old photos and completely inaccurate descriptions of the common spaces. The owner does not cook breakfast, there is no dining area or dining table anywhere. We were told that breakfast will be brought up to our room. He goes and gets breakfast burritos in take-out boxes from a cafe, and puts them on a tray with a pot of coffee and paper towels for napkins. The "wrap-around porch" is half full of junk. The "Study" room is full of furniture and junk. The living room has a messy desk, a couch and a tv (his couch and tv). The entry door we were to use has no functioning lock. But the credit card billing system works great. This guy has no clue what he is doing and should be shut down before he rips anyone else off.

Yeah bed and breakfast. The Bed was everything you could hope for (+ a really nice bathroom) and the Breakfast was amazing.

My wife and I stayed in January 2015 for a weekend getaway from the kids and life in Portland. It was a short drive and a lot of fun as we stopped at an icy Multnomah Falls. We were the only residents for the time we were there which was really nice. We had all the attention from Frank. He answered all our questions and showed us the rest of the house. We stayed in the Terrace Room and it was perfect for us. It was spacious enough and had a separate entrance. Internet access was horrible however in this room but everything else was wonderful. Hood River pretty much shut down after 9:00 so we were left with not much to do. We did eat at the Mesquitery which was absolutely amazing. We'd definitely go back.

This was our first experience at a bed and breakfast and it was fabulous!!! The house is so beautiful. We stayed in the terrace room which was very quiet and private. We walked to town and had an overall fantastic time. Breakfast the next day was to die for!!! Three courses of delicious food. We could not have asked for more. It was perfect, thank you so much, Frank & Michelle!
