Best Western Plus Hood River Inn

Best Western Plus Hood River Inn sits directly on the Columbia River at 1108 E Marina Dr, east of downtown Hood River. Unlike properties in the commercial center, its identity is built around the waterfront: many rooms face the river, and guests have direct access to a shoreline walking area and views across the Gorge.

The hotel has a large inventory of rooms ranging from more economical non-view categories to river-facing rooms with balconies or patios. Some suites add kitchens, fireplaces or whirlpool tubs. Refrigerators, microwaves and coffee makers are common in standard rooms, making the property practical for both short road trips and longer stays.

Facilities include a heated outdoor pool that operates year-round, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, sauna, fitness center and free parking. Riverside Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with indoor and outdoor seating facing the water, so guests can comfortably spend much of the stay on the property.

The hotel is a useful choice for travelers who prioritize the Columbia River setting and a fuller range of amenities. Downtown restaurants and shops are not immediately outside the door, but the location makes it convenient for driving to hikes, wineries and other Gorge destinations.
