Staying in the Hood

harleyboy · Since 13 Jun 2007 41 Posts

I was thinking of coming down to the Gorge for a weekend trip(from Vancouver, Canada).

Any recommendations on the best place to stay?

What about renting a condo / small house versus a hotel room?

Not on a budget really.

The Wife doesn't kite but she likes to have access to a good gym to get her workout done. Is there a gym in town?

Thanks for the help

Not sure about places to stay. There are two gyms. Hood River Sports Club and Big Gym. I'm pretty sure both have one day passes.

Switch your thinking- the Cost should be pretty good. Anyone else thinking Newport?

Sorry I didn't clarify...this is for the May 16 - 19 weekend. It is a long one for us.

But I do want to hit the coast sometime as well.

There are also tons of hotels in town, Oak Street has a small one, Hood River Hotel is right downtown, I think there is a best western on the river.
