"This is a very special place, like stepping back in time, absolutely gorgeous decor and grounds, every detail lovingly cared for. The bed was super comfy, immaculately clean throughout house. The breakfast was amazing, berries and pears from their own yard, hosts super nice. Have not stayed anywhere that felt more like a memorable experience vs a room for the night. Will definitely return if in the area."

Top Ariel Hotel Reviews

Red Lion Inn & Suites Vancouver

10/10 Excellent

"Our go to when we are in town for concerts!! We will return soon! Thank you!"

Comfort Inn Kelso - Longview

10/10 Excellent

"With only relatively minor issues, the stay was great. It was our first time at this location; we usually stayed at the Red Lion that is now burned down. Cost was pretty close to the same but the place is much better than Red Lion ever was: Same breakfasts, cleaner rooms, somewhat better Internet. The downside in comparison was a smaller pool and a hottub that is currently in the middle of remodel; the jets have to be turned on by staff because it is currently powered by a wet/dry vac. There is also no elevator, so if you want the second floor, you still need to take the stairs. The windows are thicker, meaning a lot less noise. And the staff is excellent, all friendly and very knowledgable of the area. Having graduated from Kelso High School, there are a couple of local laments like the condition of the mall that had just opened the two years I was at Kelso High and the current (hopefully only one more year) closure of the end-of-the-road Mt. St. Helens observatory. Beyond that, my family and I greatly appreciate this place and our stay there in July 2026."

Quality Inn & Suites Vancouver North

10/10 Excellent

"We will absolutely be back! We stayed here during a recent trip for a concert at Cascades Amphitheater and were so pleasantly surprised! The hotel is very clean, smelled clean as soon as we entered and you could tell that the room was also clean - bathroom, bedding, surfaces. Definitely a plus that it is in such a nice area, too. There is a Safeway in the same parking lot, as well as a coffee stand and some fast food chains - some 24 hours. Super convenient for post concert nights! Even with the freeway being close, it was quiet. We were on the second floor near the stairway and didn’t have any problem hearing other guests, either. We will definitely be back!"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Ariel?

The best time to visit Ariel is generally during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its most pleasant.

During this period, you can expect warm, sunny days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 28°C (68°F to 82°F), making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and boating on Lake Merwin or the North Fork Lewis River. The longer daylight hours also allow for more exploration of the surrounding Gifford Pinchot National Forest.

Autumn, particularly September and early October, also offers a lovely experience as the leaves change colour, creating beautiful scenery. The temperatures are still mild, usually between 10°C and 20°C (50°F to 68°F), and there are fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season. This can be a great time for those seeking a more tranquil visit and opportunities for photography.

While spring (April to May) brings blooming wildflowers and flowing waterfalls, it can also be quite wet, with cooler temperatures and a higher chance of rain.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Ariel.

How much is the nightly rate at a Ariel hotel?

Prices for hotels in Ariel often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $100 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
