I debated on whether to review this place or not because it is so nice, and I don't want too many people to find out about it! Our room was on the third floor with a balcony and overlooked the river. We could see the parasailors on the river. It is very clean and doesn't smell musty. The only criticism I have would be that people smoked on their balcony below us, and it was very annoying. I don't know how that could be fixed. We stayed two days over July 4th, and it was quiet and restful other than the smokers. Ate at Three Rivers Grill, and the food was excellent.

During crazy ice storms, I got into a car accident by Hood River. I checked into this hotel and the pepole there were very nice and helpful! The room was quite spacious and very clean with a tv, microwave, and fridge. I would definitely recomment this place to everyone!

My fiance and I stayed here last Friday night and we loved it. I am usually the type to find the "fancier" hotels (if you will), however, I prefer quaint over heavy traffic and views of parking lots, when possible. It was easy to see from my online searches that the chain hotels were all mid city and probably not worth their price tag. Thanks to all the great reviews, we booked at Vagabond Lodge, and after seeing the other options in the city for ourselves, I know we chose the best place for our tastes. Rooms are no frills, but very clean and the pride of ownership strongly shines through. We got a double queen room with a view, and I was really bummed we couldn't spend more time in the room, or on our private balcony. The woman at the front desk was genuine and friendly, the huge shower heads are awesome, the views stunning, and the property was gorgeous! Quite possibly one of my favorite places to stay to date. Hugely recommended. Thank you to the staff of Vagabond Lodge, for giving us great value for our money, we will be back, and we are telling everyone we know. :)

P.S. We didnt enjoy our lunch at Full Sail Brewery in Hood River at all, though we do like their beers. Pay the toll to cross the river into Bingen, Washington and find Solstice Wood Fire Cafe on the main drag... they had phenomonal dessert, tasty pizza (and other amazing wood fired entrees), and the best beer I have ever had.

We stayed here three nights for New Year's weekend and were so happy! We upgraded to a fireplace suite and had an amazing view of the Gorge to wake up to every morning. Our dogs got to come and the place is very pet friendly, Pet waste stations everywhere and plenty of places to walk them, not to mention all the hiking, snow, and adventures surrounding the area. Conveniently located by Hood River, but still in quiet location to get away from it all. The shower head was amazing, beds comfy, and free coffee. We are coming back to this little gem in the Gorge! You would never know by driving by,but stay here, get a room with a view and bring your pup too!
