Romantic getaway, not family vacation

Breakfast not included, restaurant attached was slightly overpriced for the quality, not the quantity of food. Rooms and shared bath super clean.

Super fun, funky, unique hotel experience! The “soaking pool” was actually a hot tub (no jets) which was a fun surprise! The bed was very comfy and the staff was incredibly friendly. I had so much fun staying here with my friend. My ONLY complaint was that the walls are thin and windows don’t do much to block outdoor sound, all due to it being a historic building (honestly what else can you expect for the price?!). Parking is $26 overnight at the garage down the street, which is a steal compared to other cities. Free coffee in the morning is GOOD and I’m picky!!

The property was very interesting as historical so was a little different. Great staff & location. Just be aware that no TV in room or bathroom-just a sink. There were several bathrooms on the floor so no problem & always clean. We would stay there again.

This is not your typical hotel. If you're looking for a Hilton type stay go stay at a Hilton-tyoe place. This is more artsy and almost private room at a hotel feel, in a good, unique way

We’ve always loved staying at McMenamins any chance we get !! The crystal ballroom is a great one if you want to stay downtown Portland It’s in the heart of everything… We especially love there soaking pool! After a day of traveling the soaking pool and a pitcher of Ruby beer is a must for us !

Cool property. We landed at midnight, walked to scooter McQuade’s, had drinks and apps at 1:30 am, and a great experience at the bar. Bathrooms are good, we slept good, parked by the door, swam in the morning. Nice and easy.
