We stayed here for a couple nights this week for a business thing for my husband's work. McMenamins is a regional/local brand and thus I'm a bit biased toward supporting them. I have eaten at other locations, but never stayed at any. The locations are always a bit quirky and eclectic and focus on preserving historic locations in a way that benefits the community which I think is great. This location is clearly popular and busy for dinner even during the middle of the week. The food is good, but maybe a bit overpriced for what you get. The staff were all very lovely. The property is clean and well maintained. There is a pool, but it is open to the public so pretty busy (great for the community though!) and might not be for you if you're not big on public pools with small kids. The gardens are pretty but there were a lot of bugs, particularly spiders. Service was good everywhere. The meeting facilities and catering for the meeting oriented meals were good and the service was good. The rooms are not terribly sound proof. We could hear the music outside and what sounded like people running upstairs. The alarm clock has a white noise machine built in and we always bring our own so that wasn't a huge deal for us. This location probably could have got another half or full star from me if it addressed three things: 1) There are tables on the terrace that are uncovered and under trees so I nearly had pine needles and leaves land in my food 2) The pillows are HORRIBLE. Even just offering a pillow menu for people to pay for better pillows would have been welcome. 3) The towels are incredibly cheap and rough. It's like they bought the cheapest towels available. Not awesome and a small detail to fix. Overall good experience and definitely a fun little getaway in a cute neighborhood. If you aren't looking to stay it has some good restaurants that are nice for a casual brunch or dinner.

Love the eclectic and uniqueness but wish the service matched the price! We stayed three nights and at $250 a night before tax I wish they at least restocked the room, made the bed, emptied trash, refilled towels…etc. while I understand that this place can rely on the quirky decor and location I wish they would attempt to also provide a good hotel stay experience as well.

Unique and charming Hotel with adjoined restaurants and grounds. Old converted schoolroom so rooms are a bit sparse. Wifi was horrible so not good for business stay.

Beautiful gardens & grounds. Friendly & helpful staff. Great drinks at Nui Nui, the tiki bar above the pool. Room was large and comfortable; however, the bed pillows were ready to be replaced. I was looking forward to enjoying some time in the pool, but I was disappointed to find the pool really crowded due to swimming lessons. Overall, it was a nice stay and I liked how McMenamins repurposed an old school and created a unique experience for guests that included local history and fun artwork throughout hotel & restaurants.

Everything was unique. Fun and informative rooms and hallways, cozy accommodations, lovely grounds, fun restaurants with good food and fun themes. Eat-in movie theater with first run movies. Loved it and recommended to visitors. Will go back!

Great stay for couples. The Anderson School is a great location. Beautiful garden area to just sit, enjoy a beverage or meal. The pool is very nice too. Love the tiki bar!! Always enjoy our stays at the McMenamins locations.
