McMenamins Elks Temple

Pretty much everything. It was a very enjoyable visit. The artwork and the interesting write-ups about the various people were cool. The only issue was that it took me forever to get to my room because I had to stop and read everything and take pictures LOL - Oh! I did the Passport, completed the task, and picked a ball cap. The gal who checked me in never mentioned it. My brother-n-law told me about it and I asked the next day. That employee was very helpful and off I went. I don't remember either of their names... sorry, I generally ask, and they may have told me, but I don't recall. Name tags would help. Each of the employees who stamped my passport was happy to help. I liked having several bar options and was happy that the Tiki Bar was open until midnight. It took me a day to remember where each one was... found the Vault the first night! The gift shop had a wide variety of merchandise. My pictures wouldn't attach... probably user error. They have a McMenamins App, which is very useful and has a lot of information about all the hotels.

It was eclectic and cool. It made me WANT to explore the whole hotel, which we did. I only wish we would have arrived earlier to enjoy more of what they had to offer. You're always going to have a unique experience at a McMenamins property that you won't soon forget.

First visit to a McManamins and it was such a feast for the eyes- like a hostel on steroids, the paintings, colours, photographs, fabrics and plants are just super fun and extra. Also an amazing story(ies) behind a historical building you have to see to truly appreciate! Cozy room with a clean, comfy bed. Excellent, friendly staff and great drinks. The best part was the multiple bars to chose from. Found this great as a solo traveller- safe, fun, unique spaces that i didnt expect to find all under one (fabulous) roof. The tiki bar's great and Spanish bar's cocktails were particularly awesome! Little tour of the gorgeous "ballroom" concert space was a nice touch. They also have a great little gift shop with a variety of taps available. Super memorable experience, will be back with friends/family for sure and will be seeking out more spots from this company.

This is a fun place with great service and great food. I recommend the Jr.'s Jumbo Deluxe with a side of Cajun Tots for lunch or dinner and the Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast. Parking could be a challenge, but I was very fortunate.

Everything was great, particularly the welcoming front desk receptionist! Room was comfortable and clean. Good location for the conference I was attending. Parking was easy, very walkable.
