★★★★★ 5.0 Ian Gay · Feb 2026

The rooms are fun and themed! The entire building has so many unique features and decorations. If you want to leave the building (everything is in here), it is close to many nice restaurants and bars. I have stayed here several times and each time is a blast!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Brandon Davis · Mar 2026

This a unique, historic building. McMenamins has done well in preserving the building and refreshing it with their style. I especially enjoy the hotel rooms, the Pub, the Old Hangout, and the Spanish Bar. The downside: over a few stays I have experienced unfriendliness and even rudeness from some staff. Hopefully an appreciation of guests can grow here.

Super unique and eclectic hotel from the lobby to the restaurants and rooms. We stayed just one night on our way through town so didn't get to experience all they have to offer but what we did experience was great! The room was very clean, not a speck of dust anywhere, the bed was comfy and the space was nicely decorated. The front desk check in was quick and simple and the gal checking us in was very friendly. All the basic expectations were met, some exceeded, so when you add the 5 bars to the list of amenities you definitely have a 5 star experience! We were on the noisy road side of the hotel so the morning rush hour was a good alarm clock to get up and get ready for the day! Next time we'll request a room on the other side, we won't get the stunning view but might be able to sleep in

★★★★★ 5.0 Sue. Mathisen · Mar 2026

Located in the historic district, this is a charming hotel with beautifully appointed themed rooms and customized art, including framed historical narratives. The service was warm and attentive at the front desk and in the restaurants and gift shop. We will absolutely return to vacation here.
