    It is an experience itself to be able to sleep in an old school. The whole building is very atmospheric with a lot of memorabilia and references to its period as a school. Loved also the concept of the smaller bars with different types of music...

    McMenamin's is an experience that eveyone should enjoy at least once! The historically preserved property was restored with funky lighting and art that celebrated its history. We spent hours walking up and down the hallways of the old school...

    What a fantastic hotel and wished we'd had longer than one night. So much character and history in one building and it felt quite magical to enter into it all even if just for one night. Hotel was also in a lovely part of Portland.

    I loved the old school charm, into modern comfort and entertainment. Such as soaking pool and movie theater. The different drinking areas were great too. Staff was exceptional
