We really enjoyed our stay at the Lightwell. The spa is amazing, the staff friendly and helpful, and the rooms clean. We also loved that there is a lounge, a rooftop bar, and the hotel is conveniently located. Just be aware that the rooms are smaller than usual and there are no refrigerators in the rooms. But this is our new favorite place to stay in Hood River!

The restoration of this building kept the vintage feel but with modern amenities. The bed was comfortable, plenty of towels and comfy robes. The staff were super friendly and accommodating . We came in an ‘off season’ so most of downtown dining closes at 9pm including the hotel. We plan to revisit soon!

Getting in the property through the main door can be challenging (steps and doors are in the way when you are carrying luggage) but we found out that there a door on the side which is a lot easier to get in. Overall very nice, the room was some smaller than expected. We had a nice time at the spa. Definitely recommended if you stay in Hood River.
