    Breakfast reservations were limited due to Covid and we did not have the luxury of waiting around, but we certainly understood the reason.

    Location, although we could not take advantage of it because it snowed 4 inches just as we got there. We enjoyed sitting around the fireplace enjoying drinks and dinner after a busy week of travelling. This was a one-of-a-kind place that we will always remember.

    It is definitely overpriced for the value. The rustic preservation of the lodge is commendable but a facelift is needed. Food options were limited and were ok but overpriced.

    The location is unreal. Your right at the base of Mt Hood at the top of the world with incredible vantage of all the other cascade volcanos. Really nice swimming pool that the kids loved.

    Due to Covid restrictions we had to walk down to order all meals and then pay extra for delivery fees even though we tipped well and ordered on our own at the restaurant area. Too cold to sit outside in the tent.

    Loved the views, enjoyed the pool. Very nice large room. Great staff.

    Rooms are very tiny and earplugs are provided for a reason. The historic look of the lodge is amazing, but comparable room prices elsewhere would get you something that is much higher quality, if that’s what you are expecting. Limited menu options. Lots of day traffic make it feel crowded.

    This is a fantastic place to stay if you are going to ski, hike or bike. Great dining views and outdoor sitting areas.

    There really is nothing here not to like. But people need to be aware that you’re not going to find modern hotel amenities (in your room) and the rooms are small.

    I love staying at historic properties and this Lodge - dating back to 1937 - is a real gem. It’s full of history including amazing works of art dating back to the Work Progress Administration. And on a clear Day you can reach out and touch the top of Mount Hood since you’re already at the 6000 foot level.

    I think the menu and pricing of food and drink needs tweaking. The food I had was good but expensive. I think with a some creative input, the offerings could bring in much more attention and business. I'd love to bring friends to dinner in the upstairs restaurant and bar area but the menu needs to be more exciting for the cost. Also, please crank the heat in the hot tub so jumping in the pool after makes more sense!

    The building structure, history, is very historically beautiful. The setting is outstanding. I like the mood of the bar area, and sitting with a view.

    Amazing place, but NOT worth the price of an overnight stay

    I know it’s a remote, old/historic hotel with high operating and maintenance costs, but a super basic room with a creaky bed is NOT worth $400/night -- during the week, that is! Costs even more on weekends. We were also jarred awake around 4am to the backup beeping of a snowplow/tractor outside, which continued nonstop all morning clearing the parking lot. I know that’s a necessity, but still obnoxious. Lastly, the main dining room’s breakfast buffet is extremely disappointing - $29.50 per person for barely a step above what you’d get free/included at a Holiday Inn express.

    Wonderful location, beautiful setting, and steeped in history. A place I’ve visited on day trips countless times but finally stayed overnight. Always enjoy seeing FDR’s chair and the other historic displays, plus the amazing craftsmanship of depression-era WPA workers who built the lodge. Best part was hanging out by the massive, multi-story, super cool three-sided fireplace in the evening after the day crowds departed.

    We love the mountain & timberline, but the one night stay wasn't worth the price & the dinning took a while, apparently they were short staffed.

    The cake for the St. Bernard’s birthday celebration ( Heidi) was fantastic but it could have been more festive if a big sign had been made (e.g. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEIDI!) and maybe a few balloons put out. The event was slated for 1:00-2:00. By 2:30 there was no cake left, no dog and no sign there had been an event except used dishes and a water dispenser ( which was nice).

    We loved being at Timberline Lodge for our 1-night stay! It looked great and tidy, as usual. Our meal in the lobby bar was very good ( salmon, squash soup, beef stew) and the expensive breakfast was worth the $30.00. Really yummy including a great latte. Our room, 105, was really nice. Nice front desk staff ( actually they could have been a little more excited in their greeting skills…).

    So noisy. It's an old, historic building, so that's understandable, but fellow guests were incredibly thoughtless, yakking it up in the halls and adjacent rooms all night. Make sure you ask NOT to be placed in Chalet 4, which is adjacent to the gym; staff does not enforce quiet hours there, and the equipment is super-loud.

    Beautiful, historical lodge in stunning natural surroundings. Perfectly situated to start or end your Timberline Trail thru-hike.

    needs freshening up. looking tired - restaurant options were polarized. the main restaurant was too expensive for the quality, and the base restaurant was uninspiring. Rooms need a better way to cool down. it was too hot to sleep. The exterior construction really impacted the ability to enjoy the outside of the property. In the end, the rate was not a good value.

    cool old facility, with a lot of character
