McMenamins Crystal Hotel

It was what we needed to be close to the venue we attended. Leaving our room to use the restroom and shower was different, but not an issue. No TV in the room worked out ok too. The room was uniquely painted and the age of the building and the love put into it, made our stay comfortable and welcoming. The staff was very attentive and pleasant. I will definantly want to come back when I have extra time to try the food because it smelled wonderful as you walk by and the music was good too. I will need to bring a booklight since I am book reader. The lighting is nice for relaxing though, but, Powell's Book Store is so close by that we walked to buy books and more. My eyes need a brighter light to read all the books. But that's my own issue not a complaint. There are many shopping opportunities within walking distance in addition to Powell's. Overall it was a very good stay.

We didnt stay. The hotel is old, rundown and felt cramped. We found out the room had a sink and no actual bathroom and I was like “absolutely not”. Im not paying $225 to stay in a dorm room.

The fact that it was shared bathrooms should have been front and center when booking through hotels.com. Did not expect we would have to walk down the hall to shower and use the bathroom. Would not have booked it.

This place is awesomd

Overall it was great. The minus is that our door didn't latch properly and I think we were in there unprotected half the time. I know it's tough with a vintage old place and it was great in so many ways. Thanks!
