Because Hood River is such a popular destination for weekend getaways, lodging on weekends often books up completely and it can be difficult to find last minute hotels, VRBOs, or Airbnbs. If you are planning on staying the night in the area then we recommend booking lodging on the early side just to be safe. If you do run into a problem with hotel or short term rental availability in Hood River proper, other nearby locations to consider staying include White Salmon or Bingen (15 minutes from venue), Cascade Locks (25 minutes from venue), The Dalles (30 minutes from venue), and Government Camp (40 minutes from venue).
The Best Western in Hood River is our favorite place to stay in town because it has beautiful views right on the river, a nice pool area on the waterfront, and the onsite restaurant, Riverside, has surprisingly delicious food for dinner and breakfast. It is less than 10 minutes from the venue.
