The person who checked us in on Dec 4, 2025 at 11:50pm!!! She is a godsend and we really appreciate all her help and her instinct to go above and beyond her usual customer service. We would have been left out in the rain if she had not stepped in. Please give her a raise!!
funky cool historic place with Polish and haunted history, in beautiful condition. Fun with the rock bands downstairs playing 70s favorites before bedtime. Comfortable. convenient to the light rail. Very gracious staff.
This is a fun place to stay, and definitely the cleanest and coolest at the price. You have to share a bathroom and you can clearly hear the band in the bar, so if you plan to take a bath and go to bed early, look elsewhere. Bonus for being next to Bernstein Bagel's for an easy morning treat.

The room was adorable I just don’t understand why you get charged $60 plus more after you check in and you paid for your night thru hotel.com. At first I thought maybe a deposit but It is still on my account so that is not it. Any ideas? It says EX charge plus tourism tax
The building is old, well cared for with rustic - with character. The bed was comfortable and the room had a small sink. Toilet and shower are communal and I found them to be very clean. There isn't a coffee maker in the room but they bring out coffee in the hallway. There is a wonderful bagel bakery on the same block with coffee if you need it earlier.
I'd definately stay here again but if you want all the usual comforts of a hotel, this is not the place. If you are flexible, it's a fun place to stay
Employees were super helpful and friendly. I like the outdoor space.

I really loved staying here. The staff was incredible and even waited up for me to ensure I got into my room after my flight was supee delayed. It was a really cool set up and expeilrience. If you are looking for your typical hotel experience, this is probably not the place. The rooms are smaller and it is a shared bathroom and shower. However if tou are looking forna unique and really fun experience, this is the place. Live music downstairs, good food, and quirky rooms easily walkable to a lot of cool bars ans shops. I would highly recommend.
Unique old saloon and hotel. The bar and restaurant with live music is really nice. The rooms are small but comfortable. There is a bit of noise in the rooms from the live music events.
Sweet and comforting. We went to a show in town and came back late, ordered tots from the restaurant that were so delicious! Slept well, headed out early. Very charming hotel.
Check in was good and informative. Area close to city transit train transfer to PDX. Ants were in bedroom and crawling all over in shared shower room. For the room amenities were great! Soap. Shampoo. Bathmat, towels and handcloths. No television, but not there to watch TV.
Beds are wonderful—-fun, artsy, historic bldg. with a strong music vibe. My reason for being there was to listen to a concert. Coffee is set up in the morning on the hotel floor with real half n half to put in the delicious coffee! I ate dinner there while listening to the music—-great food with some healthy choices!
This was a quirky experience as I was right over the stage and the music went on late, but I was so tired (visiting family at the nearby hospital) that I was able to sleep right through it when needed. The staff was extra helpful, the room was cozy and spotless, and the shared bathrooms were clean and never busy. Fun, quirky place that I would especially recommend if you were coming to see the live music!
It's "quaint", which is going to be a turnoff for others. (Take careful note: Shared bathrooms!) But I loved the historic building feel, and the staff were quite pleasant and very friendly. It's definitely not a Michelin 4-star kind of place, but at the same time, that's not what I'm expecting from a place that labels itself as a "Saloon", either. :-)
A unique lodging experience for sure. The bar/restaurant was the real winner. The property boasts a turn of the century bar that is photo worthy. Unfortunately we lodged there on a night without music but still awesome.
The one area for improvement is the bed size. My wife and I shared a full size bed, Yikes! My big butt was spilling out of the side of the bed but the stay was memorable.
The White Eagle does not have staff available after the downstairs bar closes. If staff is needed after hours, a courtesy phone in the hallway dials a downtown hotel also owned by McMenamins. Luckily, I didn’t lock myself out of my room after hours. I did not feel unsafe, however, if I felt uneasy around any guests, I’m not sure if it would have been a good night’s sleep. It was an inexpensive place to stay near a light rail stop close to downtown. Comfortable bed. Close to I-5.
I loved my stay here. Be aware, if you are a light sleeper, when they say loud music is played until all hours, they mean it. I was not a problem for me. I love historical buildings (especially Polish ones) and this one did not disappoint. If you are up for something that is not a typical hotel adventure this is the place for you. My only apprehension was needing to park on the street as no onsite parking was provided at this time. Thankfully there were no issues with my car. Great place!!
