8/10 Very good

Room is small, had to ask to get it cleaned (not explained that I would need to do so at check in) Good location for my family needs. Next time I'll look for something more upscale

Our second stay in a very different, newer room that was tiny. Wouldn’t go back. This was a huge contrast to our last “schoolroom” room.

Brigitte, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful reused building in true McMinamins style. Multiple bars. Restaurant and outdoor seating for pet owners when warmer. I would have given a full 5 stars except the pet friendly room fronted the noisy street. And room service was fast but the hamburger and fries were luke warm.

I enjoy having options for restaurants that are open later, as well as easy and safe well lit parking that is close to drive to just about everything I need. Nice to have the extra amenities like the soaking pool. Cool place with lots of personality and history. Always friendly staff! Amazing art everywhere!
