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!)
