We got a room overlooking the river and garden. The room was very nice and updated. It came with a refrigerator and microwave, which is always handy to have. Easy access to the room from the parking lot. The view was beautiful. You can ask for a non-pets room if you are severely allergic. We didn't know this, and we both have some allergies, but the room was clean and we didn't notice it at all (assuming pets had been in the room).

I normally stay at the Hood River Inn down by the river, when I am in town, but it was full, along with other places I have stayed at before.. Expedia recommended this one, it only had 3 units left when I booked. I did not know what to expect when I arrived, but I was very happy with what I found when I arrived. I was in town for the Hood River Follies, a play put on for 6 days over two weekends, sponsored by the local area Lions Club's, (this was the 39th year) with a cast of about 75...

The property was older but indeed very clean and tidy! The building itself was clean and the pavement was even. They were doing renovations at this time but they made sure that it was out of the customers way which was considerate. The guy that helped me get checked in was polite and helpful! The room was nice and clean, as well. No weird smells. The bathroom was simple. Towels were free of mysterious stains and hair as you would find at many hotels surprisingly... A shower mat was offered...
