Info
Summary of reviewsWestcliff Lodge is celebrated for its exceptional location, offering stunning views of the Columbia River and proximity to downtown Hood River, just a short 4-5 minute drive away. The lodge's tranquil setting, characterized by its quiet, secluded atmosphere amidst trees and beautifully maintained grounds, provides a serene escape despite being near the interstate. Guests appreciate the peaceful environment, enhanced by vibrant flowers and well-kept gardens, which beautifully complement the scenic views from various rooms and patios.

The lodge’s accommodations receive high praise for their cleanliness, spaciousness and modern amenities. Rooms often feature private patios or balconies that offer breathtaking river or garden views, providing an ideal spot for relaxation. The overall ambiance is one of comfort and tranquility with many visitors noting the immaculate conditions, pristine interiors and comfortable beds that contribute to a restful stay. Families particularly find the cottages accommodating and the quiet park-like setting adds to the lodge’s charm.

Service at Westcliff Lodge is another highlight with many guests lauding the friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Professionalism and efficiency are emphasized with the staff's approachability and readiness to assist enhancing the overall guest experience. The team’s politeness and knowledge ensure that guests feel well-cared for, making the check-in process smooth and pleasant.

While the lodge does not provide breakfast options—a point noted by several guests—there is coffee available in rooms and at the reception. Nearby dining options, such as the Egg River Café, are recommended for excellent breakfast dishes. This minor shortcoming does not overshadow the overwhelmingly positive reviews regarding other aspects of the stay.

However, the WiFi service at Westcliff Lodge is often criticized for being weak and slow, which might be a consideration for those requiring reliable internet connectivity. Despite this, many guests find the overall accommodation appealing, especially those less dependent on strong WiFi.

Another standout feature is the lodge’s dog-friendly policy, which is highly appreciated by pet owners. The spacious, well-maintained park-like property by the river enhances the appeal for guests traveling with pets. The reasonable pet fee and consistently clean, cozy rooms—even those designated for pets—contribute significantly to a positive experience for both pets and their owners.

In summary, Westcliff Lodge offers a relaxing and picturesque retreat with excellent service, clean and comfortable accommodations and a welcoming environment for both guests and their pets. The stunning location, serene surroundings and friendly staff make it an ideal choice for a tranquil getaway close to the heart of Hood River.
