You had to ask the front desk staff to run the elevator (over 100 years old).

The restaurant was fabulous. Excellent menu, great food well prepared. Good wine list and great bar. Bar menu was also quite good and you cou eat outside with a view of the river or in the very elegant and comfortable lounge. The location had a very large garden with its own waterfall overlooking the Columbia River Gorge.

Not much to dislike! Since our car had broken down, we were unable to go anywhere, which did hamper the experience slightly. There's not much to do at the hotel itself besides eat, and there's nothing walkable from the location. Additionally, a wedding was occurring at the hotel while we were there, which felt a little awkward since the property is fairly small.

Excellent room service, comfortable bed, friendly staff, and beautiful area. We stayed for Memorial Day weekend and enjoyed a wonderful time relaxing at the spa and around the hotel grounds. Unfortunately, our car had broken down about 15 minutes from the hotel, and we had to get it towed to their parking lot. The staff were very accommodating about this and let us keep the car there an extra night while we worked out how to get it to the mechanic since everything was closed for the holiday. Beautiful views.

My comments below pertain to the Dinner as we did not have the breakfast. Food was good, but not great, Service was slow, Prices were high and not reflective of the food and service.

Staff were pleasant and helpful. Great old building. Outstanding Location.

We reserved a room facing the garden, but it was right above the garbage court. The AC was very noisy and not effective. There is no coffee machine in the room. Finally, the fine dining restaurant was quite mediocre. I recommend the casual one.

Nothing.

The property is stunning, perched on a cliff above the Columbia River. As soon as we entered the room, a bald eagle flew by at eye level.

I wish I’d had a coffee maker in my room. We coldn’t find help to get our bags downstairs on the day we checked out.

I liked being outside of the hubbub of town. The location on the river was so scenic and peaceful. We enjoyed watching a couple of weddings that occurred on the property while we were there.

Please put coffee pots in the rooms. And a common ice maker on each floor.

Location along the river is beautiful. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. The ambiance is exceptional

It met our expectations.

The history, the horticulture combine to tell a story of a connection to the pass and to the present. The elevator still has its pull gate. Apples were given out at reception. tyingIt the hotel to their community. A romantic stroll through the grounds will leave a memory.

This Historic hotel is rustic and needs further updates to make it more appealing. The front reception area lacks staffing, professionalism and could use a face lift. The guest room doors have gaps above and below with light shining in from the hall and you can hear the people in the next room showering, talking and everything else. Our guest room had a “staff only” staircase right on the other side of our headboard and we were woken up at all hours of the night at 1 and 2am by a person (or a ghost?)running up and down the stairs! The elevator is only operated by the front desk staff “when they are available” so that is not a good thing for someone with a lot of luggage, Elderly or disabled. The restaurant and bar staff were extremely nice and the housekeeping staff were very attentive to our room during our week long stay. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained and the grounds keeper was friendly as well. The gardens, river, waterfall and ducks were a magical experience and we enjoyed exploring. All in all it was a nice place it just lacks the elevated service and amenities for the nightly rates that they are charging during weddings and peak season.

The chairs in our room were horrible - hard as concrete. It would have been great to sink into a comfy chair! It was disappointing after hiking all day to go to our room and have to lay on the bed for comfort!

It was a beautiful scenic location - loved all the gardens, waterfall and ducks!

The purple light at night with the waterfall, it doesn't look good on pictures. but I love the waterfall during the day.

We actually enjoy a lot the Piano and music Karaoke Sat night, people were dancing, and having a good time.

Nit picky things: No towel bars in the bathroom and no coffee maker or microwave. IThey requested that we not use lots of appliances on simultaneously as the electrical systems could blow a breaker. It is a 100 yr. hotel <g> No problem!

We had a glass of wine in their lounge after arriving and it was relaxing in the room decor, all an homage to the 1920's/30's Dinner later that night was very good and the staff in the restaurants was attentive w/o being a bother. Nice balance!
