Skamania Lodge

This is great property, BUT the FEES are ridiculous. In addition to the room rate I was charge 18% of my room cost as a resort fee: 39 one night; 54 the next. Not sure why a higher room rate means a higher fee, but this fee is charged whether or not you use any of the resort amenities. It should be folded, honestly, into the room cost since you have no choice but to pay this fee. Then, and this one really hurts - a $15 a night parking fee. This was to me a new fee. And adds insult to injury. I love Skamania. I hate these fees. Why not be honest and just raise the room rate: include the resort fee; include the parking. The 300 dollar room is a 369 dollar room + a laundry list of taxes. Get real. Please.

We paid nearly $500 for one night, including amenity fees, pet fees, and parking fees, plus taxes on all those fees. The grounds are beautiful, and the staff is very nice. I suppose that’s why there are so many good reviews. However, our “pet friendly” room smelled like a dozen dogs urinated in it just prior to our arrival. It was disgusting. The window did not open, and it faced a stone wall, so there was no fresh air and no sunlight. It also has not been renovated in at least 20 years. Paint is peeling, carpets are filthy, and the bathroom is Motel 6-level. The WiFi went down hours after our arrival and was still not fixed the next day by the time we had to check out. The pool was also closed for the entire evening of our stay. With no pool and no wi-fi, so much for that “amenity” fee! The whole stay was just so disappointing.

We had a special and memorable time! The setting was magnificent. As a nature lover, I enjoyed the trails, the scenery, and the fresh air. I had a blast ziplining with my son and his partner. Thanks for the memories!

We had a great stay overall—the staff were absolutely amazing. The only real downside was the AC, which had a bit of a moldy smell, but it was an amazing stay regardless.

We had a great stay at Skamania Lodge. The setting is beautiful, the staff was very friendly, and the property felt comfortable and well maintained. I work in hospitality as an assistant manager at a hotel, so I probably notice some of the little things more than most guests. Overall, I thought they did a really nice job. We enjoyed walking the grounds, taking in the views, and just relaxing for a couple of days. Definitely a place we’d come back to. Mathew
