My fault for not asking for more info! Because of my age the stairs were a little difficult but I made it! The bed was the highlight of my overnight stay !wonderful comfort! Also did not realize you weren’t fully open! But thanks for the amazing sleep! Also enjoyed the beautiful and thoughtful surroundings! Thank you!

Unique place to stay
This was a very comfortable, clean and a unique place to stay. They are not serving meals but I bought great Chinese food made on the spot at the local grocery store. It was kind of noisy from the trains going by on both sides of the river. The manager was great and we enjoyed knowing about the area. It is beautiful on that side of the river.

We loved this charming vintage hotel with unique accents. The beautiful staircase leads to a floor of bedrooms and shared bathrooms. Our stay was quiet an comfortable and there was never a wait for the bathrooms. The AC in our room was ideal on the 100 degree day. Easy free parking in front of the hotel. And a quick drive across the beautiful Colombia for wine tasting or watching wind surfing in Hood River. We look forward to our next visit.

Perfect location for visiting the Columbia Gorge scenic area. Great location for access to Catherine Creek/Coyote Wall, Horsetheif Butte, Stonehenge, Maryhill. The hotel was a cozy landing spot for two tired hikers/climbers. The beds were too firm for me, post strenuous physical activity.

Hotel with history and character
Great host, amazing food. You have to go up stairs to get to your rooms and bathrooms are shared, if you have traveled Europe than you should be used to this. Rains pass the hotel throughout the night, if you can make sure your window is closed, especially if you’re a light sleeper.

The location of the Lyle is right on the river, most rooms have a view. Even though there is a train near by (which did not wake me) I slept more soundly and awoke refreshed. So close to wine country how can you loose trying something unique. Thanks Richard!

Favorite place on the Gorge. Love the historic setting. Extremely friendly staff. Delicious home-smoked cuisine and low-key entertainment on weekends. Delicious and affordable local wines and hard cider selections. I seem to keep returning every year....

Sadly, I cannot recommend this hotel. The restaurant was not open, despite hotels.com saying it was. The train that went by was extremely loud, like it was pretty funny how crazy loud it was. my husband and i just had to laugh. they did provide earplugs, but still woke up me up every hour. the carpet and furniture had some stains on it. There were plants in the back patio that werent planted, just sitting in their store containers on top of the ground (kinda trashy). Also, the bathroom has random toiler paper holders attached to the back of the door...why not just remove those? Seemed kinda lazy to just leave the extra TP holders on the doors, would be an easy fix. Breakfast was the most comical though. All we found was 1 english muffin in the fridge at 8am. All the granola was gone and there was no yogurt (despite the front desk stating there would be when we checked in). The fridge was full of leftover staff takeout food, old cake, costco size bricks of butter, again just seemed lazy. Why not have a cheap mini fridge for just the milk/yogurt/butter for hotel guests? Dirty dishes from guests were just left on the counter and mixed in with the clean dishes, since there was no way of knowing where to put things in the tiny kitchen area. We met 1 staff person at check-in but besides that was empty. no one at breakfast time to ask questions or about the lack of breakfast. still wondering what my hundred dollars paid for...a noisy night and an empty stomach.

It had a very nice atmosphere. But, I had some large problems. The info given said there were no check in staff after 6pm and I knew we were going to be 30-60 minutes late since we were driving from mid California. I tried to call at 3 different points in the day (left a message with first call around 9:30am), multiple times, no one answered. So I was driving 12 hours not knowing if I would be able to get a room that night. I ended up calling Expedia around 4pm, they also tried calling the property (not sure how many times) and no one answered for them either. We arrived around 7pm, thankfully got checked in by some friendly ladies, dropped off our stuff in the small room (Shared ammenities with the entire floor. I think 2 bathrooms for all the rooms?), and went out for dinner. 10 minutes into my drive I got a call by a male staff member asking me about the message I left (The one I left earlier). I let him know that we had just checked in, and he said it would have been ok as long as we had been there before midnight. The hotel is right beside some train tracks and they're constant through the night. I wasn't bothered by it, but I know some would be. (Also some next door neighbor yappy dogs). Next morning, took a shower in the shared bathroom. They provide very nice products for showering, I was actually impressed. We had our lovely day in Oregon, came back around 9pm and found that our bedroom door was open. Our stuff was still there thank goodness.

Quaint Hotel, but disappointing.
We arrived a couple minutes prior to check in and the doors were locked. When we finally checked in, we were not really given much information about our stay/amenities and had to ask for information. The bathrooms were not very clean -all drains were pretty plugged with hair. Inside bar and dining area were very nice. However, the self serve breakfast of granola, tangerines and english muffins was a little confusing and not too impressive (silverware not very clean and water was warm). The back patio was definitely disappointing, with the view of the backside of building in poor shape, ground very dry with no grass, and all ashtrays were full. Can't say that we would go back anytime soon.
