    Niche property. With a cool vibe.

    Beds are decent, but a king over a queen bed would be a great option . . . the rooms are small, but we'd give up floor space for more bed space

    Excellent breakfast with great service in a little nook by the snooker tables

    The beds were small but we knew that

    A very unique experience. The room had two bunk beds and a shared bathroom, which was fine. The real coolness comes from the theatre, bar and pool hall that are all attached. This place has a lot of history as well!

    Staff didn’t seem to like their jobs.. not very friendly. Had to go find someone in the bar/ restaurant part yo check out.. Went to eat dinner there and were told to sit anywhere empty and we did, and were told to move by a rude staff member who said it’s for the people playing pool.. no one was sitting there.

    The history and the building. Walkable distance to most things downtown.

    My only issue was very minor and maybe a "me " thing😊 the room got very hot sometimes and I couldn't open the window all the way

    Checking in was easy and friendly. Our room was cute and clean. Bathrooms were clean and ours was right across the hall. I loved the coffee station being a few feet away from my door!

    The bunk bed didn’t have a ladder. Had to climb up the end of the bed which is awkward and hard on the feet.

    Location and the Olympic Club is a great place to hang out. The old wood-stove is the heart of this classic venue.

    Though it didn't bother us, the train klaxon at the close-by station is pretty loud -- there are earplugs in the bedside drawer if you want.

    Spent a lovely evening watching a movie in their theater (check out the porcelain in the gents there!) and then grabbing a freshly cooked pizza and hard cider in the restaurant. The room was fine and the shared bathrooms were good too, bearing in mind that the building is old and historic!

    Check-in process was a little confusing. Nice to have a free movie in theater downstairs. But the theater itself seemed grundgy & in need of a clean. Accommodations themselves were really clean.

    Historic feel of building with modern touches. Very reasonably priced. Pool tables & restaurant downstairs.

    Two things: The walls are quite thin, and we could hear everything from the hallway, which made it hard to sleep. Unfortunately, our room was right across from the bathroom, so the noise from people showering in the morning was pretty disruptive. Additionally, the property is located near a train station, and the sound of passing trains was quite loud. If you’re a light sleeper, it might be tough to get rest here.

    Everything was good

    Historic hotel with comfortable beds.

    I didn't take the complementary ear-plugs to help with the train noise, perhaps I should have. If you are unsettled with the scruffy past of logging towns, this may not be the place for you.

    The Olympic Club has lived many lives, starting out as a speakeasy, gambling den with a brothel upstairs. Other places would try to whitewash away that kind of past, but McMenamins has celebrated that past with text around the walls and maintained the funky atmosphere, while becoming perhaps more sedate. The room was comfortable, with a good bed and quiet heating. The comfy bathrobes made it easy to visit the toilets and showers - plenty of space available. The whole facility includes a movie theater, and a full-service restaurant downstairs.

    Pretty thin sound insulation between rooms. I could hear my neighbors in the next room as if they were in my room.

    For one night, I got to experience what it was like to stay in a boarding house in the 1930's or thereabouts. It was pretty cool. I liked learning about characters associated with the place's past.

    Would be nice to have a clock/radio in the room. There is a clock but a radio would be nice as there is very little radio reception using a portable radio in the room. I wish the beds were a little firmer.

    The breakfast was great. Reminded me of breakfasts I used to find years ago in my youth.

    Unfortunately, an active railroad track runs just across the street from the hotel, and trains are sounding their whistles loudly all night long. Conversations from below easily heard in the rooms.

    Quaint and historic, this renovated hotel is in the heart of small town Centralia. Restaurant, music venue, and billiards are on-site.
