Went for a quick overnight trip. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Very much enjoyed eating in the Cascade Dining Room for dinner, making reservations prior is recommended. Service and meal was spot on. Newly renovated swimming pool had the vibe with pool and hot tub. Had after dinner drinks later in Ram's Head Bar, very nice atmosphere and Jon, our bartender, was just right. Decided next day to book again, went from a Queen Suite, which was very comfy, to a bunk room. Bring water shoes for shared bathroom/shower, lots of use and not always that clean. Heads up, no tv in bunk room. Later, craving some pizza we headed to Blue Ox Bar, not a good experience, at all. All tables empty and dirty, sat at counter, dirty. Service worker not welcoming, had to ask for counter to be cleaned. Pizza was gross and so greasy, literally spit it in napkin. I get being busy, but call for help; what is main Food & Beverage people doing? Ended up back at Ram's Head Bar, recommend the clam chowder! We enjoyed walking around admiring the building itself, learning more about the history, walking the trails, and experiencing the breathtaking views. We will be back.

Take a deep breath and enjoy the ambiance of having Mt Hood as your bedside companion. As one of Oregon’s top tourist attractions, this lodge’s history is obvious. From the 100 foot beams to the carved animals and the renovated pool and spa this Oregon icon is the place to be. The rooms are cozy. The restaurant was surprisingly good with hefty portions.

I had such a great experience staying here. I had visited in the past to see the main spaces and have a drink, but this was my first time staying overnight. I stayed in a lovely room on the third floor that had a great view over the main entrance. I preordered a 6 beers and a little meat board and it was delivered on my arrival and it was a nice little treat after a long travel day. The room was comfortable. I had a buffet breakfast in the dining room on my check out day. There quite a few options and the food was fresh. I didn't get a chance to swim, but I did go look at the newly renovated pool and it was gorgeous.
