Columbia Gorge Inn

We stayed a night after several days of hiking. The friendly and attentive owner let us park our car there while we hiked (no charge). The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and we had a quiet nights sleep. It doesn’t look like much, but if you want an inexpensive clean room and shower, it fits the bill.

I was traveling by myself pulling a 26 ft flat bed trailer. Artie was very helpful with parking the trailer and truck and setting up barriers so it would not be hit by accident. The motel is older but well maintained. The room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable. I also managed to somehow drop my credit car after going to get my morning coffee. It was found by housekeeping and I picked it up on my return trip with a load of hay on my trailer. Was a very nice place for a stay - I'd stop again!

This place is very conveniently located close to the Cascade Market, the Thunder Brewing Company, and the Bus stop in Cascade Locks. It is also very close to the Pacific Crest Trail and the Bridge of the Gods and about 15 minutes from Multnomah Falls. I did not bring a car and I used the infrequent public transport to get around Cascade Locks and Stevenson. The person at the desk was very friendly and helpful and gave me a ride (for a nominal fee) to Stevenson whenever I requested. This was very helpful since there are no cabs in the area. Otherwise, I would walk across the Bridge of the Gods into Stevenson. The other convenient part of the lodge is the microwave in the room. Overall, it worked out great for the week I spent here.
