Give This Place A Try
This place is 110+ years old and really a delight to stay in because they haven't changed things very much. Gives you a snapshot of how hotels operated a century ago.

A little gem.
Delightful historic hotel. Come for the ambience and the experience of living in a shared space a hundred years ago... no in-room TV (but strong internet, don't worry!). Great staff, nice little packaged breakfast (could've been more food, but adequate). Cute boutique. Beautiful view.

Perfekte Unterkunft
Die Leute waren sehr freundlich, die Zimmer waren perfekt eingerichtet, wie das ganze Haus. Wie im Stil der 1907 Jahre. Frühstück war mit Liebe gemacht und lecker.Super Blick auf den Mount Hood hat man auch. Wir haben gleich einen Tag verlängert.
