Centralia Square Grand Ballroom and Vintage Hotel

What a CUTE hotel! I felt like I time traveled back to the early 1900s and enjoyed every minute of it. The hotel is thoughtfully decorated with original black and white photos from it's heyday inception. It's in a great location (restaurants, bars and activities are two short blocks away), clean and secure. Our room was spacious, located near the terrace and comfortable. Sherry was wonderful - she went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay and brought towels within minutes of the request. Note: there are NO TVs in the room. This disappointed my 10-year-old greatly, but we (the parents) relished it. A few things to note: this hotel is near the railroad crossing in Centralia. It gets noisy sometimes in the middle of the night. That's neither here or nor there, but I know people love to nit pick, so I wanted to point that out. This wouldn't sway me from staying here again. Next, come with proper expectations: if you're looking for modern, state-of-the-art, room-serviced sterile room with all the typical 4-5 start amenities, this place isn't it for you. If you're seeking a quiet place to rest your head with excellent customer service, all while be steeped in the rich history of Centralia, this is the sick ticket.

This is a really fun, unique place to stay! The building is very beautiful and kind of feels like you’re staying in an old mansion. We stayed in one of the king suits, and it was perfect. They provide earplugs to help block out the trains at night, we didn’t need them though (I grew up near train tracks so I didn’t mind it, and my husband said he didn’t hear them as soon as he fell asleep). There was a communal fridge and microwave near the ballroom on the second floor - which was perfect to store our takeout leftovers for the night, the bed was comfortable, the shower was updated and super nice, and the suit was very spacious. Chari, who checked us in and out, was very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We definitely recommend staying here!

Charm, comfort, and kindness. What a treat! What an absolute gem! Why anyone would stay near the highway for more is beyond me. Perfectly comfy bed. They provide earplugs for some of the train traffic, but it's generally quiet. It is within walking distance to other spots downtown or the excellent local grocery store! Yummy coffee is provided in the morning, a bakery on the spot, and a fantastic dinner joint (pork belley confit...amazing fried chicken, but always rotating...). I will be staying again, and again, and again. If you like big rooms with lots of charm and plenty of parking then stay here!
