We are a boutique Motel Cabins and RV Park nestled in the Columbia River Gorge in Cascade Locks, Oregon. We offer full hook up sites with soon to be installed STARLINK internet. We are stones throw from The Bridge of The Gods, Thunder Island Brewing Co. and just a short drive to numerous hikes to many of the great falls that Columbia River Gorge is known for. We are approx 30 mins from Portland and a short drive from Mount Hood, Mount Adams, Mount Rainer and Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. Close by you can also find Bonneville Dam, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Yakama Indian Reservation and the Warm Springs Reservation.
Terrible experience unfortunately! I never write bad reviews however, I thought it necessary as to warn others who make make plans to stay here and count on a bed for the night. It started off we reserved a room for 2 nights and I noticed no confirmation was sent to email. So to be sure, I called and they told me they have a known issue with their system that they have heard the same from other customers. But they said they saw the reservation and confirmed that we were good and have the nights we reserved. I double checked with a call the day prior just to make sure they still have us to come in for the next day with the reservations and they said yes, they are expecting us. We arrived around 5-6pm on a Thursday to check-in and the office door was locked. Note on the door stated open from 9am-2:00am. and if no answer to call. We called (several times). No answer. We waited for an hour and others showed up as well for their reservations. No answer for them either. It really put us in a bind for our trip plans. We went to eat dinner to give some time and thinking perhaps there would be someone there in the office afterwards. No luck. Another family was also waiting outside the locked office hoping someone would answer to their reservations as well. I have never had a hotel do this to me so I pretty much couldn't believe a business would do this. Anyway, it ultimately turned out in our favor as we found another room not too far away 2 minutes before their closing time. They were great to work with and we had a great 2 nights stay at that location.
100% DO NOT RECOMMEND!! To say this was a nightmare was an understatement. I made reservations months in advance due to coming in the area from so far away. Upon arrival our room was filthy (food on the floor, looked like the entire floor had not been swept or mopped in some time, food pieces and dirt on most surfaces) we asked to be moved to a clean room. The person in the office took us to the room next door and asked if that was better. It was still not what I would say was clean, but it would do for our short 2 day stay because I was tired and over the hassle that has already occurred. She gave us the key and we payed $323 for two nights. An absolutely outrageous price for the room, but not a lot to choose from. Fist night was not bad however after being gone all day on night two, we came back to someone else in our room and our things GONE! To say we were angry was an understatement!!! The girl behind the desk, same one from check in, was absolutely clueless and stated that we didn’t have a reservation for two nights. Upon some harsh words and a more competent individual taking over and handing the situation, we figured out that she never moved our reservation to the other room and and apparently forgot overnight that we were supposed to be there and and someone else had a reservation for the room that she moved us to. I cannot stress enough that I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT!! All said and done, they tried to give us another room and we absolutely declined and luckily got a room elsewhere. According to the person that came to help fix things, the former manager left suddenly and this other person we had to deal with was brought in with apparently no training. Still not an excuse for the absolute absence of personality or sense in her head.
Had a lovely experience here as i finished up the Oregon PCT. Owners were so helpful and made a way for me to wash down and dry my tent and sleeping bag (had been hiking in the rain for a few days). They made lots of effort to accommodate my many requests and i felt welcome and respected. The beds were very comfortable and the shampoo, conditioner and soaps were high quality. Thank you!!!
The couple running this place were very friendly and accommodating. The room were nice and the price was great. Our room had a big jetted tub that clean and wonderful for relaxing after hiking all day. The bed was probably the most comfortable motel bed ever, it made it difficult to get up in the mornings so they happily told us we could have a late check out. Plenty of great food options within walking distance. Beautiful scenic view and hikes all only a few miles away. Definitely coming back here again.
