We’ve always loved staying at McMenamins any chance we get !! The crystal ballroom is a great one if you want to stay downtown Portland It’s in the heart of everything… We especially love there soaking pool! After a day of traveling the soaking pool and a pitcher of Ruby beer is a must for us !

Such a quirky spot. I’ve always wanted to stay here, finally did and was not disappointed! Everything you need under one roof. The shared bathroom isn’t bad. Not ideal but for a night or two it’s easy! I never ran into anyone.

center of downtown, the facility is old, rooms are a little bit dark , no table, bed are uncomfortable, 3 restroom in each floor with 10 rooms sharing it, not that bad considered, wash sink really a room only with bed and sink nothing more, no closet or table. there's a lot of safe parking nearby. overall im not going back here again unless it is very cheap price. Also elevator is scary its cracking whenever you use it lol

What a sweet queen room! So fun that each room had a song theme! The staff went out of their way to be accommodating and helpful. I had to get my water bottle filled at the bar as my room sink was fairly shallow and the bartenders were always happy to fill me to the top! There were 4 shared bathrooms on the floor which I found to be convenient. I loved the use of a robe and plenty of towels to use when going down the hall. It's an older hotel so I could hear the big party of people next to me the first night but the staff quickly came to disperse and quiet them down politely. I appreciated that immensely.

This historic building has fantastic vibes and was within easy walking distance to our music venue and Powell’s - definitely will consider this place again when needing to stay in Portland. (Rooms are small, but that’s a perk imo!)

Always a favorite spot to see concerts and stay. Its downtown Portland, but it’s really honestly the best option if you’re walking and don't need to go far. Our first choice when seeing concerts at Crystal Ballroom. Also food in the restaurant is amazing.
