So this was a great stay, however I got food poisoning so I spent the whole night running up and down the halls to the communal bathrooms. They were hard to find, the hallways are dark and confusing, the labeling is a little tricky, this isn’t the hotels fault, but I ended up having to bring a pillow and blanket to the bathroom and camp out there. Great otherwise

We loved our stay. It’s a fun, quirky spot with warm moody lighting and a lot of unique character. Our room had a shared bathroom, but we never had to wait for bathroom access. Loves the location just around the corner from Powell’s books and Deschutes Brewing

This is an adorable property. Rooms are TINY but very cute and clean. Shared bathrooms, but bathroom was very very clean. There is no parking however, though when we booked with expedia it did say parking with surcharge. There is no parking, you have to find a structure and hope you didn’t forget anything in your car or else you’ll have to trek back for it. Area is cute but not that safe

This is a lovely little vintage flatiron with proper McMenamins quirkiness: decor, soaking pool, souvenirs, and staff. I would stay here again. The parking is a block away on foot: could be an issue for some folks. Overall, however, we had a lovely stay.

This is a fun, funky spot and the team are fantastic! I felt welcomed, safe and comfortable. I don’t care that I crossed the hall to the bathroom- I never saw a soul and it was clean and nicely appointed. The details were so thoughtfully covered and the restaurant bar and coffee were excellent. I was on a difficult trip and this stay made it so much easier- I felt at home ( with better catering and art!)

This was an interestng stay, and a first for me. First things first. The room I stayed in has no in room bathroom. You share with the rest of the rooms on the floor. I did not realize it when I booked, and was taken by surprise. After the initial surprise wore off I found it was not a huge deal, but it is important to note. Besides that one hiccup everything else is awesome. The room had a great decor as did the rest of the property. It didn't feel generically well decorated, but like real personality went in to it, which is a nice change. Everything was clean, and there was very little noise carryover you might expect from an older building like this. The restaurant was good, and the location is pretty choice. Who doesn't appreciate a five minute walk to Powells world of books? I grew up in Portland and I have felt a hole in my heart every time I visit the city the past few years but for my stay I felt I got a little bit of that late 90's early 2000'1 Portland back in a quirky fun atmosphere in the middle of a Northwest blanket. It was nice.
