Perfect location in the heart of Hood River. A block from the train station and a short walk to waterfront. Very clean and chic hotel. Rooftop bar area was nice with beautiful river view. Rooms are tiny and thin walls (but they do provide ear plugs). Will plan to stay here again soon.

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!
