Best Western Plus Columbia River Inn

We LOVE staying right on the shore of the Columbia River.. with a bird's eye view of the Bridge of the Gods, which crosses over from Oregon to Washington state. We like to get a river view room on one of the top two floors... and just sit out on the deck watching the river , the mountains and the trains , which run along the shore on both sides of the river. If you do not like the sound of trains on the track or of train whistles echoing off the mountains on both sides of the river... then, this is not the place for you... But, if you are like us, and you love those sounds, it's a great place to enjoy them... The rooms are very nice... clean, comfortable beds, refrigerator and microwave.. ... lots of space.. and you can ask for a room with a river view (definitely recommend that, even though it's a bit more cost). Highly recommend this place.. We try to stay there every time we visit the Pacific NW.. less

Everything was absolutely wonderful. John at the front desk was superb from our conversations by phone through arrival and after. He was so helpful and friendly, as well as providing insights to the area. Our room on the 4th floor had a terrific view of the Bridge of the Gods and the river. The room was perfect; the beds were the best. It was peaceful and quiet. Everyone was outgoing and friendly. The coffee in the lobby is excellent - my granddaughter said we didn't need to look for a Starbucks, because the coffee was"the best". Breakfast at the Bridgeside was so good! Loved the pool, although it could have been a few degrees warmer. I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. Everyone and everything about this location was perfect. Thank you all, especially John, for making our stay so enjoyable and memorable less

We had a balcony room with great views and the trains weren't bad. Earplugs are provided but we didn't need them. The Bridgeside Restaurant next door provided a great choice of Gluten-free items if asked. And most wonderful was an air-conditioner that kept the room at 69* F when the outside temperature is close to 100*!!! less

Our family of six stayed in two adjoining rooms on the first floor overlooking the river. The view was spectacular, and we had plenty of space. Everything was extremely clean, the people at the front desk were all very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, right next to the Bridge of the Gods and we could walk to several trailheads, Thunder Island, and restaurants nearby. So many things to do just a short drive away. The breakfast was at the restaurant next door so it was a great deal - best free breakfast by far we've ever experienced. We didn't use it but there was a small indoor pool and patio to sit outside. We'd intended to do laundry but there was only one machine and dryer and it was in use when we checked. There are trains that run close by so I would hear them at night - it's not terribly loud but if you're a light sleeper it's good to know. The hotel provided earplugs in each room with the soap, shampoo. I would absolutely stay here if we're visiting the Columbia River Gorge area again. less

Casade Locks is a town bypassed by the freeway that is far from a tourist hot spot. This hotel is pretty bland on the outside -- but, when you get in the room, you find yourself immediately overlooking the Columbia River, with reviews that our world-class. Plus, the staff is super friendly, and the included breakfast is a full, freshly cooked breakfast at the restaurant next door. A great find we stumbled into. less
