  Unfortunately, their marketing played tricks on us. The “tiny” rooms are really tiny (low quality tv, broken window that is only probably 2ft by 3ft) and you feel like you’re in a cruise ship room. It’s so loud too from the pipes — you every toilet flush. The hotel is super overpriced. Their “spa” hot tub is chlorine in a dark basement that smells of fumes. They did not have the amenities they said they did (no mini fridge even after requesting). The rooftop bar was overpriced and very mid-tier, same with the cafe downstairs. Pretty disappointing for the price of the room.

  I could not recommend Lightwell any higher! Becca and her team were all consummate professionals in every way, and the property itself was clean, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. If you are staying in or around Hood River soon, please go stay here!! You will not be disappointed. We will 1000% be back.

  I visited Hood River to celebrate Mother's Day and was looking forward to staying at this new hotel. Unfortunately, my experience did not meet expectations. For example, the restaurant listed on the website was not open during my visit. The front desk lead staff member on duty was somewhat unprofessional when I inquired about the restaurant; she asked a personal question that could have been received as intrusive, though I chose not to react negatively. Additionally, I requested extra pillows, and was told I would be called back, but I did not receive a follow-up. When I called again after about 30 minutes, I experienced difficulty reaching staff, and after multiple calls, I finally spoke with someone who informed me they had no more pillows, somewhat dismissively. The only staff member who was notably helpful was the waiter at the rooftop bar. I believe the staff could benefit from additional training or supervision. The rooms are quite small, and the beds were somewhat uncomfortable given the warm weather, which impacted my overall stay.

  I absolutely love this hotel. I have stayed here a couple times with my wife and our five-year-old Bernedoodle. The hotel is brand new so everything is clean and modern. Where some of the rooms are a little quaint and cozy. You can definitely pay a little extra for one of the more spacious rooms if you’re someone who needs extra space. The dog friendly rooms are more than big enough for two people and a dog. The spa is one of the nicest that I’ve visited at a hotel. The giant soaking pool, sauna and cold shower that you can rinse off right there is amazing as a complimentary amenaty. The staff is super friendly and helpful so If your heading to Hood River this is the place to stay.

  We stayed here for our birthday escape weekend and had a wonderful time! We even decided to stay another day. The spa facilities were so relaxing and the perfect additional amenity. Our room was quite tiny but we knew that when we booked and made up for its size with the amazing bed. Additonally, the room utilized its space well with cubbies under the bed and plenty of hooks. However if you are planning on spending a lot of time in your room i would recommend not booking a "tiny" room. The rooftop had truly panoramic views of the gorge and was a lovely place for my partner and I to play games for a few hours in between exploring the food and drinks of Hood River. The location is perfect being just downtown making everything super walkable.
