We had friends that had stayed here last year, and called a bunch of us (14 ) and told us, we all need to get together at the Lyle Hotel in Hotel ( We'd all just returned from Sturgis this past summer and had a ball.) Anyway, I looked this place up and thought OH NO!!! What have we (... More

My wife and I spent a weekend at the Lyle Hotel with two other couples and had a grand time. The retro nature of the building with the bathrooms down the hall and no TV is appealing. Dinner is served Thurs thru Sat and is excellent, as is the Sunday Brunch. The service is thoughtful and attentive. Their is a... More

This hotel is on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge just past White Salmon. This is wine country, and if you drive out here to taste you should spend the night. The Lyle Hotel was built in 1905 as a boarding house. It has maintained its rustic ways with lots of bedrooms, but bathrooms down the hall. We stayed... More

Quietly hospitable, the shady patio is only steps from easy access to a view of the river even though it is only a couple of blocks off scenic Highway 14. While I was an... More

I brought my wife and 2 kids and we had a wonderful visit. We have stayed before and will be back again. We discovered a nice walk down the street and out to basalt rocks on the edge of the Columbia River! There were fresh ripe black berries growing along the road that my kids enjoyed picking and eating. The... More
