Even though I was traveling on business, staying at the Hotel Oregon was enjoyable. Never have had issues with the common bathroom. The rates don't include breakfast but there is tea and coffee available. There is breakfast available on-site, and several nice breakfast places within a few blocks.

This was a unique experience in an old fashioned hotel space. If you don’t mind quirky, it’s fine. Supposedly, the place is haunted. You need to check in by 10pm as there is no on-site front desk person after that, and if you need any other help, sol e it before 10am. I experienced my room key got corrupted so it didn’t work but luckily this was at 8am when desk was staffed. I had a room with a sink but without its own bathroom, there was 1 large men’s and 1 women’s bathroom on sane floor each with toilets and showers so it was fine. Bed was comfy, AC was fine. The walls between rooms are a bit thin, I was awoken by an inebriated man screaming at a female over phone speaker and he pounded his walls very loudly. I could hear most of the conversation- it then quieted down and was fine. All in all, it was fine for 1 night stay.

So this was our first time staying at this hotel. We have heard great things about these renovated historic hotels and thought we would give it a try. We decided to have a girls trip and wanted a place wear we could walk to. We should have thought something was up when we tried on numerous times to contact the hotel because we had a few questions about the room. No one ever answered the phone. Which was odd. Once we arrived, the girl was very flighty and couldn’t answer any of our questions. We had arrived at 2:45 pm and were not aloud to check in until 3:00 pm. She did tell us we could drop our bags at the desk since the parking garage was 2 blocks away. Once we were allow to check in, she gave us the key card and sent us up. It was a very tiny room with a queen bed and our own bathroom. It was a tight squeeze for 2 adult women but we figured we were only there to sleep, so ok. There was only one nightstand so I had to use my suitcase standing up to accommodate my cpap machine. There were ear plugs left on the nightstand. This is because the other guest that do not have a bathroom in their room, have to share one in the hallway. So throughout the night people are coming and going to the hallway to use the restroom. You hear everything. Definitely not a restful night of sleep. The next morning we went down for breakfast. Don’t waste your money. It was awful. I was even serviced a hot tea with lipstick prints left on the cup. The Farmers Market was good. We did a few wine tastings that day but be warned. They are pricey. Also….. most of the restaurants are closed at 5 pm. Good luck finding something decent to eat. The tasting rooms close by 7 pm. The was two bars open until 9 pm. We went back to the hotel and there was a gathering in the room across from reception. Not too sure what was going on there. Weird music, a woman dancing around like she was floating and then they all started to chant. We left the next morning. There was a weird vibe there. They are super into the whole alien thing. Not sure what is going on there. The town looks really cute but the locals aren’t very friendly.

McMenamins has a following. The vibe is a little weird at this hotel. If one can get past Helen Sutton (my room) staring at you from the wall all night you’ll be fine. Nice story board about her but a little creepy that there is a painting of her on the wall. I am laughing as some may think this is cool. Helen watched over me all night… I think…

Nice hotel in the heart of McMinnville. Booked a room with shared bath down the hall. The furnishings are older but that adds to the charm. In room AC was a bit noisy but the location is worth it. Front desk staff is helpful. The pub service was a bit off for dinner and drinks afterwards.

First of all, McMinnville is a really cute town and this hotel is set in a great location near shops and restaurants. The staff is friendly, and the rooftop bar has a great view and delicious tater tots! The rooms, however, really need a refresh. They are small, dark, drab and kind of oppressive. They overall just seemed dingy. I couldn’t wait to get out of my room to check out the next morning. I’ve stayed at Edgefield, and their rooms are much nicer.

We stopped by this hotel/restaurant because we are passport members. If you don’t know about this and live in or frequently visit Oregon, check it out at any McMenimen’s location. This is a classic old hotel, remodeled and repainted in the bright colorful mcMenimen’s style, as always, honoring the original location and history. Look up the walking tour on their website if you have time and explore everything! Or, stop by the ground floor restaurant or rooftop bar and enjoy a drink, a snack or a full meal. We are fans of the tiny corn dog “scooby snacks” but the menu is broad and there will be something for everyone. I enjoyed a ginger-blood Orange cider. The beer options are also good and they have a classic variety of mixed drinks.

After finally bring seated by the bartender--hostess nowhere in sight-- we placed our order for 2 grilled cheese specials and a turkey sandwich. Then we waited...and waited...and waited. No water refill; no check in from waiter. After an hour wait, one member of our group got up and searched for a staff person. He was told food would be out in minute and a half. We waited. The restaurant was quiet. But still, no staff visable. After an hour plus, we walked out. Worst service ever!!!

Coffee was ok but over priced. The french toast was puny and pathetic and not worth $11. Coffee was not worth $3.75 either. Not going there again.

I was in McMinnville on business and had a great dinner at the McMenamins Hotel Oregon Pub. I tried the cider flight which had great full size glasses of delicious ciders and a great burger. It was surprisingly busy for a week night and I was glad I got in early before the rush. Delicious food, great wait staff and would recommend.
We had dinner on Sunday and Tuesday, great beer and wine and service. This is a busy restaurant at peak times. We always feel at home at this pub.

I’ve stayed at McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale, Oregon countless times (and have always loved it) so I expected McMenamins Hotel Oregon in McMinnville to be on par. What a disappointment. The one and only luggage cart is on its last crooked leg. Our $154/night single king bed room is tiny, the walls are paper thin, and the room’s HVAC unit keeps resetting itself to 67 degrees AC no matter what we do (so we turned it off). Most of the hotel amenities are unavailable—the great bar, the rooftop bar, and the cellar pub are all closed—with no explanation other than a shrug. Loud cars keep racing up the street, loud motorcycles are starting up or departing regularly, and at the moment a bunch of people are fighting on the street (on a sleepy Sunday night, it’s not even Friday or Saturday). Since I really wanna try to say something positive, the staff are super nice, the curtains are lovely, and our bed is comfy. Sadly that’s as far as it goes. I was just at McMenamins Edgefield last month and everything was as wonderful and consistent as it’s always been, making the contrast here at Hotel Oregon even more discouraging. I love you McMenamins, but I won’t be back here again.

We stopped in for a quick dinner one recent evening. Our server was friendly and efficient and the drinks were good. Our meals were as expected for pub grub but were hot and plentiful.

We ate here after a day of visiting wineries and it was good. We weren’t terribly hungry so the smaller portions were fine.
