Westcliff Lodge

Westcliff Lodge is a family-owned property at 4070 Westcliff Dr, set on wooded grounds above the Columbia River west of downtown Hood River. Its main attraction is the setting: many rooms, balconies and outdoor areas look across the river and the Gorge, while gardens and paths make the grounds feel more like a small scenic park than a conventional roadside motel.

The lodge offers several room categories, from simpler non-view rooms to river-view accommodations, suites and units with kitchenettes. Some specialty rooms add whirlpool tubs, and the property also markets outdoor-oriented lodging options. Room styles vary, with a mix of updated spaces and older classic-lodge layouts.

Outdoor amenities are central to the experience, including picnic areas, viewpoints, fire-pit space and places to barbecue. Designated pet-friendly rooms make Westcliff particularly useful for travelers with dogs, while free parking and easy highway access help visitors using Hood River as a base for hikes, wineries and Gorge activities.

This is a strong option for guests who value views, quiet grounds and space over a downtown location or extensive resort services. Travelers who want restaurants and nightlife outside the door will find Hood River's center a short drive away.
