Vagabond Lodge Is Now Westcliff Lodge — Hotel Impossible Update

Vagabond Lodge in Hood River, OR, appeared on Hotel Impossible (Travel Channel) in the season-four episode "Stormy Wedding," which aired 2014-06-02, when consultant Anthony Melchiorri worked with the property's ownership on operations and renovation issues typical of the series. The address and coordinates associated with the property, 4070 Westcliff Dr, Hood River, OR 97031, now match a Google Places listing for Westcliff Lodge, with a business status of operational. Westcliff Lodge's website, checked 2026-09-09, describes the property as a scenic hotel set on grounds near the Columbia River Gorge outside Hood River, and links to a live Cloudbeds reservation system for booking rooms directly.

The site's copyright notice reads 2026, and no older or expired content was found on the pages reviewed. No dated news article, licensing record, or public statement describing when or why the property began operating as Westcliff Lodge rather than Vagabond Lodge was found in this check, so the date of the name change is not established here. The current website and Google Places listing confirm only that a hotel is presently operating at the same Hood River address under the new name, with an active online booking system. Anyone able to document the specific date or circumstances of the change from Vagabond Lodge to Westcliff Lodge, including any change of ownership, would add the next dated fact to this record; none was found among the sources checked for this update.
