Having spent the entire day exploring the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood, we were exhausted and ready for a much needed good nights sleep. After consulting our AAA tourbook we opted to stop at the Black Bear Inn to check on availability for the evening. Rooms were available and we opted for a room on the first floor. This... more

I picked this place because the pool pictures looked enticing. I was looking forward to a swim, and perhaps a sauna. The establishment itself was...well, marginally okay. It's not seedy, just very much in need of a renovation. The folks at the front desk were friendly, and the bear statues everywhere were cute. But the room was very tired-looking, with... more

I would rate this place as marginal, at best. The noise level is incredible. We were fortunate enough that the weather was hot, so our air-conditioner was so loud it almost overcame the traffic noise. This was the worst night's sleep I have gotten in a few years. Ah well, I won't make the same mistake again. more

I stayed at this property and everything was amazing. The room was fresh and everything in working order. They served hot full breakfast I have not seen at any other best western. I definetly recomoned to any one who travel for corporate or leisure business. more

The room at this hotel was such a disappointment. I think if it hadn't have smelled so badly we might have enjoyed it. We stayed for one night in a ground level room. The room was older but spacious with a small table to sit at with two chairs. The bathroom had a window. Unfortunately, the room smelled like sewage.... more

We booked this last minute due to a bad experience at our pre visit stay. Hotel has quick access to food, freeway. Freeway noise wasn't bad at all. Staff was friendly, Pool area decent, you will need different keys for everything though. Breakfast was simple but enough to start the day. There is a new Dennys with a Fred Meyers... more

I recently stayed at this hotel on business. Being a government employee and limited to hotels that offer the government rate, I was limited in my choices. Other reviews in Trip Advisor said it was good, and my travel-mate colleague being interested in the big pool it has, I decided to stay there. The pluses: It's convenient to the freeway... more

We stayed two nights at the Black Bear Best Western. My husband was on business in the area, and the kids and I tagged along for the weekend. The room was one of the largest I've ever seen. We had 2 queen beds (or maybe they were doubles?) and a twin. The hotel is old, but you could tell its... more

Things I liked about the BW New King's Inn: the room was generously sized, and so was the bathroom. There was a microwave and small fridge in the room. Great pool --very large, and kept pleasantly warm and clean. Clerestory windows give the pool an open, outdoor feel. Huge and very nicely tiled hot tub (spa). Individually locking saunas so... more
