Great way to start off our anniversary trip. From the moment we arrived we fell in love with this place. The check in area has a cute little log cabin feel. They offered us a glass of wine and had cheese and crackers to go with it. They were so friendly! The place is so cute! They have done a great job of keeping the lodge feel throughout. It’s right along the river and really relaxing. The warms cookies in the lobby in the even was really great also. The breakfast was great and they provided lots of options with great spacing and hand sanitizer for the pandemic. I would definitely stay there again! Great job!

After full vaccination for my father. Our father and son trips began again with the Hertz challenge of $10 a day for 10 days from west coast markets to eastern states.( Apparently Hertz needed cars in the east. ) Grants Pass was our first stop out of Portland. We settled on this property due to location by the Rogue River, reviews and nearby restaurants. We are also trying to support local businesses. The lodge has done an amazing job w Covid compliance. They provide amazing wine and cheese plates at happy hour - take back to your room and enjoy the view. And a big breakfast takeaway too. Room was super clean. We felt totally safe. Restaurants are nearby and have superb take away options. Enjoy this gem of Grants Pass.

We have been doing road trips to/from Washington and Arizona for the past few months and have stayed at this lovely property twice in the past month. It is a delightful, peaceful oasis just a few minutes off the busy freeway and the cold, impersonal chain hotels offered there. As soon as you pull in the parking lot you you are charmed by the log cabin/lodge look of the exterior. The lobby is cozy, warm and inviting...as is all the staff we have had the pleasure to meet! There's a beautiful rock fireplace with a fire simmering to greet you as well! Both times I had reserved a Standard King Guest Room and they gave us a complimentary upgrade to a Junior King Guest room with a private patio and view of the Rogue River! The rooms were large, the king bed was super comfy, bathrooms large and clean with all amenities provided. We had the best nights sleep here!! All proper COVID-19 protocols were in place, we felt perfectly comfortable and safe! They even still offer their evening wine & cheese reception (you simply take it to your room due to the pandemic) as well as fresh, hot cookies and milk later in the evening! Included is a fresh, hot breakfast which they will cook at your request, which you also take to your room. The Lodge at Riverside is simply the most charming and best place to stay in Grants Pass...I wouldn't stay anywhere else!!

The Lodge is in a good location, right on the river. We did the Hellgate Boat tour (which was awesome), and we were able to walk to it from the Lodge. It has a nice cozy ambiance and good size rooms. However, we had some issues that kept me from giving them more than three stars.
Our group of 15 stayed in four rooms for four nights, and none of our rooms were ever cleaned during our stay. We were told that rooms are only cleaned every three days (which is not what I would expect from a hotel at this price point), but since we were told that upfront, it was fine. We got back from a day out on the third day and none of our rooms had been cleaned. When one of the people in our party asked the front desk about it, he was told “oh, Housekeeping must’ve thought you didn’t want to be disturbed”. They took no accountability at all and made no offer to clean our rooms. (And no, the “do not disturb” door hanger was not on any of the four rooms.) I asked for a trash bag at the front desk, which they did provide, so I could empty my trash. And they brought clean towels since I asked. So that was disappointing since I wasn’t expecting to have to clean on vacation.
The ice machine was broken during our entire visit so they told us we could get ice in the lobby, but the employees clearly weren’t excited about having to fill the ice buckets. My son came back with one giant block of ice in his bucket….. Our sink and bathtub took forever to drain. We never complained about this so I don’t know if they would’ve done anything about it or not. They did bring us a plunger when we asked for one since our toilet was also slow to drain.
The breakfast had a good selection, and they had homemade muffins which would’ve been really good had they not been over cooked every morning. Probably the best thing they offered was the milk and cookies in the lobby in the afternoon. The cookies were delicious!!
If/when we return to Grants Pass, I may stay here again and hope the issues we ran into were a fluke because it is a nice place. I just had higher expectations than what we got.

Hello Sarah, We are disappointed to hear that we did not meet your expectations. We do apologize for the ice machine not working but that issue has been resolved. We wished we had known about your drain so that we could have addressed it right away and have our maintenance team come in and fix that for you. Room service is expected on the 3rd morning and this issue has been brought up to our team so that it does not happen again. We hope that you will give us a 2nd chance to help make your visit better than your last.

We have stayed at The Lodge before but we have not traveled since the onset of COVID. We had to make an emergency trip to Grants Pass so we decided to stay at The Lodge again. We were expecting minimal services but were very pleased to not only see how clean everything was, but also the special amenities such as the wine & cheese hour and the fresh baked cookies in the evening and the hot breakfast. They were all still offered, but with changes to keep up with COVID protocols. We were very pleased with the service and the Lodge staff was friendly and helpful.

After reading the reviews we had high expectations, particularly with what they charge. As a disclaimer, We weren't expecting a $200-a-night room to be a 'high end' hotel; we are normally satisfied with a Marriott mid tier type property. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable is about all I ask. The staff we interacted with was very friendly but clean and comfortable would be somewhere between major stretch and outright lie. They try to improve the property with trendy amenities like free wine/cheese and free cookies but that doesn't fix dirty carpet, dingy buildings and old bathrooms. It felt like getting a cheap hair cut because they offer free beer. If you're looking for a $200 a night, old, rustic motel that feels like a sad cross between an old roadside motel and rustic church camp, I've got just the place for you! On the other hand, if thats your idea of a good deal, I also have a car I'd love to sell you!
It's not terrible, just very subpar. I am rarely lead astray by reviews, in fact, I rely on them. I am also not typically a critic and don't think I've ever actually left a hotel review in 100's of stays even though many haven't been great. Unfortunately for The Lodge, my wife and I were laying in the bed at the motel, reviewing the website to see where we went wrong and I read in the website description they have 'Top of the Line Serta Pillowtop Mattresses". That was too much, the last straw.. In fact, the sheets feel like straw and the mattress wasn't top of the line in 2001. Sorry but it just has to be said.
Oh and "river facing" does not mean river view, unless you are on the second floor (maybe) so don't fall for the amazing, over achieving, professional photography that litters the website. Can't see anything from the room but a few chunky kids swimming in the pool and ancient landscaping. Sorry to bash and dash but its time to drop the price or step your game!

The amazing service done by the housekeepers not only met expectations, but exceeded in them and I’m not only happy with how well they did to make the room cleaned up for us, but they also made it interesting such as displaying the magazines. The shower felt like a nice massage, and there is added privacy in the bathroom because of the mirror in a separated room. My friend and I showed up early to check-in, and after speaking with the staff team, they made sure to let us into our room as soon as it was available. I had nothing but a greatly positive experience at this hotel, and would suggest that others come here to spend their money for a promised great time :)

My wife and I have stayed here four times now. We used to drive through Grants Pass but now we make a point of stopping here. We originally tried it because they offer two EV charging stations. We keep going back because of the EV charging stations, the spacious rooms, the lovely location overlooking the river and park, the friendly staff, the wine and cheese reception in the lobby in the afternoon and the cookies and milk in the evening.

We made a reservation at The Lodge at Riverside on the spur of the moment when our travel plans changed, and it turned out to be a great decision. The lobby is decorated in a warm and welcoming cabin-type atmosphere. Their nightly reception included free wine, cheese, and crackers, which was a great way to unwind after a long day of driving. Our rooms were larger than normal and included unexpected amenities, like fluffy bathrobes and a private patio where we could sit outside and gaze at the river. The free breakfast was served in a bright and cheery dining area and had a great selection of hot and cold items and was well stocked and kept very clean by the breakfast attendants. The only negative was there was no elevator to get to the second floor, so we had to carry our suitcases up the stairs. However, this was a minor drawback, and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

I loved the lodge. I was there on two separate nights in late November 2022. The rooms are spacious and well lit. The property is easy to navigate and it’s easy to get things out of your car. The deluxe rooms look out over the pool and River, and they are beautiful. I also stayed in a standard king on one of the nights, and it was very nice as well. They do not use fabric softener/dryer sheets fragrance on their towels and sheets. There is some fragrance in the room. Breakfast was typical for this kind of hotel-there were bacon, bagels, eggs, etc. staff were very friendly and helpful. The room seemed clean and well maintained. Great location for Grants Pass.

No bar in the hotel but you can purchase bottles of wine and and cans of beer at the front office. There is a restaurant right across the street though with a cool bar.

Hi Matti, honestly, I would not know. Best check with the hotel if the pool is heated. As far as the air temperatures go, well, I guess it can be really warm or really cold in April in Oregon.
