The Balch Hotel is a really nice place. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They even found some stamps to enable me to mail hotel postcards from Dufur despite the Post office being closed. I also appreciated the period charm and decor. The structure and furnishings are in a good state of repair yet still maintain an authentic period look. I would definitely stay again in the future.

I love this property, the staff and the small town remoteness. I recommend for anyone for a destination or a pass through. Inviting, quaint and friendly. The cost is super reasonable. We got a unit with a bathroom this time, very nice. Previously, a shared bathroom, no concern with this. The back patio in the evening, we sat at a table in the low light and drank wine. Very romantic and very recharging of our souls. The staff is super pleasant, meet them, you will be pleased.

A step back in history and lovely host. Great breakfast with local fare well balanced and delicious. The restaurant was great too, even with a limited menu during the mid-week. The rooms are clean and comfortable with bohemian beds and covers quality sheets and towels. Really nice to see restoration and quality in workmanship in this small town in this not to far from the gorge and the Dalles.

Wonderful room and service -- in spite of being a 120 year-old property. The history of the region and specifically of the hotel made this a wonderful excursion.
