We liked our room but will choose a riverside room next times. Sure enjoyed relaxing on the riverside decks at lunch and dinner. Such nice staff! Easy parking.

We have stayed here before. Beautiful setting next to the river
The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. A couple blankets were in room for us to use while sitting out on the deck. The chairs in the deck were very comfy also.

The decor of the location was very unique, and I like that each room had a theme. The place is small and very homely. The overall atmosphere is very friendly and cozy.

Fun adventurous rooms. Heard the train all might. So, if you want peace and quiet. Not for you! Food was okay. Room was clean and had a beautiful bottle of wine wait for us when we checked in. Just wish it wasn’t so close to the train tracks.

We have stopped off a couple of times on our travels over the years to eat. But this was our first time staying the night. It was quiet, comfortable, and our room was real wood. The banana bread pudding was a heavenly dessert.
The area close by is expanding for things to do too. Extra bonus for us was they had EV charging stations right in the parking lot. We will be going back.

A well-thought historically themed property. Did smell the bar wells when entering each bar area. May want to do a steam cleaning. Otherwise we had a great experience. Food was better than expected. The staff were professional and polite even to a few difficult or intoxicated guests.

Being on the Columbia River and surrounded by a great park, is tough to beat. Not very quiet as it’s off I-5 and by the railroad tracks. Didn’t like at all is they don’t have a fridge or microwave in rooms. The Wi-Fi is horrible and it seems there are no cell towers near. We suffered but McMenamins is still a unique chain.
