Notes
The Eddie Mays Inn is now known as the Hood River Inn. It was constructed on fill near the base of the Hood River White Salmon Bridget in the 1960s. Hopefully someone can fill us in on the exact date of construction and when it was called Eddie Mays Inn/ Nendels/ Hood River Inn.

In the May 4, 1967 White Salmon news, several ladies attended a lunch at the new Eddie Mays restaurant at Hood River. It was open house. They enjoyed a tour of the restaurant and motel.

Hood River County Extension Service report for '64/'65 mentions the construction of a motel on Port property. '66/'67 report identifies it as the Hood River Inn & Motel.
