  Great time, funky little hotel . Great way to feel like you’ve gone away when staying right in the city. Great tiki vibe !!

  Unique Getaway for a Few Days

  14 Aug 2025

  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.

  Okay

  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.

  Wild and wonderful.

  This property is absolutely Magical! It is such a beautiful space to chill in. As an artisan myself I notice and really appreciate the artistic details around every corner! The gardens are lovely and wild at the same time. Friendly staff creative menu items in the different areas. I really appreciate all the fun things going on in the evening like the movie theater and live music. I had come home to bury my Parents ashes and I was very sad. Your property and service really made the somber experience much better. Thank you .

  Such a Cool Spot, Glad I Stayed

  03 Jun 2025

  This place is honestly so cool. I’ve never stayed anywhere like it. My sister, who knows me really well, recommended it, and I’m really glad she did.I’ve stayed in hotels all over the US and Europe, and this one is definitely unique. It has a quirky charm and fun personality that made the whole stay feel special. All of the staff have been kind and helpful, from the front desk to the girl working in the little market shop. My room was super clean and comfortable.The gardens were in full bloom during my stay and are clearly very well cared for. It added such a peaceful and beautiful feel to the grounds.The only things to note are that you might hear your neighbors if they are on the louder side, and there’s no refrigerator in the room. But honestly, you are literally staying in a converted school, so you kind of know what you’re signing up for. To me, it added to the charm.I’m surprised the reviews aren’t higher. I had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend it, especially to anyone visiting from out of state. It’s a memorable and fun experience.
