4/10 Fair

Uncomfy but beautiful
Super hard bed, my husband could barely sleep and we woke up early just to get out of it. No AC on 3rd floor with it being 98degrees outside was not very fun. A whole lot of stairs so be prepared for that, shower took a long time to heat up water but at least it was an adorable claw foot tub. Place was a little creepy but that might appeal to you! Great check in/check out times! The rooms are adorable but just very uncomfortable honestly. BUT the outside is gorgeous, they have so many places you can sit out and eat and read your bible so that was lovely. BEAUTIFUL hotel, they've really upgraded the place. The shared bathrooms were fine and super cute. I liked having a sink in the room, was thankful for that. Walking distance to the store in town so that was convenient and nice. Breakfast was okay, still hungry afterwards. My husband still loved the stay even sleep deprived because he grew up in Dufur. I loved it because of its old charm and beautiful decor!

My wife and I love this quaint hotel with great rooms, great decor, incredible common areas and awesome staff. Breakfast is healthy and sustaining, not quite what it used to be but still enjoyable. We love the entire experience.

8/10 Very good

If you like traveling back to a simpler time, this is a unique hotel for you along the Columbia River Gorge. It was a lovely setting and rooms were small, but quite comfortable and gave you an escape from the 21st century (no TV, turn of the century country appeal). A few simple improvements to make guest more comfortable would be to have forks out (no just spoons) for the breakfast and to have coffee out and ready by 6:00 am daily. Many early risers need that first cup before we develop a headache. On a Sunday there was no where to go in Dufur that had coffee, so it was a pretty painful wait to have a coffee pot out at like 7:45 or 8:00 am. Easy to do! Dinner, at Bistro 1907, however, was simple, but lovely, on a peaceful flowered garden patio. I will tell others the Balch is a good place to stay for historic charm. Thank you!

Give This Place A Try
This place is 110+ years old and really a delight to stay in because they haven't changed things very much. Gives you a snapshot of how hotels operated a century ago.
