Second time staying here. Amenable staff, great rooms, clean bathrooms, incredible salt-water hot tub (that's very large), and just an all-around awesome hotel. Highly recommend.
Always a please staying here. Easy online check in. Clean rooms and we love the themes of the rooms. Shared bathrooms are clean and easy to use. The hot pool is amazing. Food is great and walking distance to so many other options too.
Place was very clean and well appointed, but simple. Location is good, near bars, restaurants, and shops.... Also the Crystal Ballroom! Even so, our room was quiet. Soaking pool was lovely and very clean! Great urban getaway
Breakfast not included, restaurant attached was slightly overpriced for the quality, not the quantity of food. Rooms and shared bath super clean.

Wish parking was easier. I wish a free parking pass for a garage would have been nice.
Also we didn’t receive a free breakfast. Didn’t know that was available.
Otherwise beautiful and clean with a wonderful soaking pool.
Staff was friendly, the check in process was easy and the amenities were top-notch. Location was in a very walkable area near many attractions, I would definitely stay here again!
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 !
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
