The Hood River Inn is a beautiful, environmentally-friendly location for our conference on the Columbia River in Hood River, Oregon. There is a Shoreline path directly behind the hotel which runs along the Columbia River. This path can be followed directly into downtown Hood River (0.9 mile), nearby beaches (0.6 mile), waterfront park (0.3 mile) or as far as 1.75 one way. This is a lovely addition for exercise or leisurely strolls. 

The hotel restaurant features sustainable and local food choices, as well as highlighting women-owned and locally-owned businesses. 
 
The lounge, adjacent to the restaurant, is an excellent spot for visiting with other attendees and colleagues, and for purchasing drinks.

Please mention at the time of making your reservation that you are a part of the mast cell materminds conference to get our group discounted rate. Also mention if you are chemically sensitive as appropriate accommodations can be made.
