The Society Bingen And Cafe

Great weekend getaway destination just an hour or so from Portland. We got an individual bedroom which had a shared bathroom which was just fine. They were both very clean. They also have the beds in the shared bunk rooms for 1/4 the price and cabin rooms for 2x the price. The spa was nice and relaxing but I do wish they had more beverage options while there. The cocktails and food options were yummy and it was fun sitting in the library which had a huge assortment of games to sit and play. Front desk attendants were always helpful. And there are many food, drink and other options to explore the area within 10 minutes or so.

I was charged twice for the $100 deposit, not sure if the front desk person did it on purpose since she was passive aggressive during my check-in. I understand kids are allowed in the pools but I had a very disrespectful experience during my stay. Two kids kept splashing me, swimming into me and blocking the pool stairs. The guardian and staff did not intervene or say anything to the family, which was very disrespectful. I know this space is primarily for white people though I remain hopeful that at least people will be respectful, but that was not the case during my weekend stay. The scenery was beautiful though.

I've been to the Society Hotel twice now and really enjoy it. The room is decent (shared bathrooms) and the spa are is fantastic. I've been back just for the spa/sauna/ cold plunge! Most of the staff are very friendly and they make great coffee and snacks. Bring ear plugs because the train is loud and frequent.

A great getaway for the body. The room was really clean. You can bring food from home which I would recommend since there are not too many great restaurants around. The spa was amazing. Loved the outdoors jacuzzi. Thanks for an amazing night

Really disappointing. We were looking for a quiet, nature getaway. Booked a private cabin for more privacy. Website talked about the zen . We could hear every word of the conversation of the people in the next cabin (from our bedrooms . We also heard music from a local restaurant. The worst was blaring trains every hour (even at 3 am! . This is not a quiet location, and the website should not advertise zen and peaceful. This is a cool hostel-type experience, and the website should stick to that. We should have stayed at Skamania Lodge. We were so tired/annoyed, that we checked out early and went home to sleep.
