Room is small, had to ask to get it cleaned (not explained that I would need to do so at check in) Good location for my family needs. Next time I'll look for something more upscale

Beautiful reused building in true McMinamins style. Multiple bars. Restaurant and outdoor seating for pet owners when warmer. I would have given a full 5 stars except the pet friendly room fronted the noisy street. And room service was fast but the hamburger and fries were luke warm.
