The location is fantastic, right near the

vibrant Pearl District. The unique rock & roll themed rooms are both charming and cozy. However, the shared bathroom situation took some getting used to, though they were quite clean.

Charming Stay with Great Food Options

We enjoyed a cozy stay in a Queen Room with shared bathroom. The restaurant was a highlight, serving delicious brunch with excellent local beers. Only wish we had a fridge in the room, but it didn't detract from our enjoyable experience. Perfect spot for couples!

I really enjoyed my stay here, especially the unique room themes inspired by past artists and the cozy lounge areas with great vibes. I also loved the relaxing saltwater pool and the onsite live entertainment, which made the evenings special! Just a heads up, the late-night bar service could use some improvement, but it didn’t take away from my overall experience. 😊

great for a short visit

Interesting hotel, fun atmosphere, with a fabulous soaking pool that was open late and a clean shared bathroom that was always available.

easy walking access to parks and great dining options

I loved how close the hotel was to Tom McCall Waterfront Park, making my walks along the river so beautiful, and also the vibrant food cart feast was just a short stroll away, which fit perfectly with my weekend exploring vibe.

We loved the quirky vibe of the hotel and the friendly staff. The kids enjoyed hanging out at the cozy pub downstairs with live music, while we appreciated the delightful atmosphere and unique decor. The shared spaces were a hit with our family.

In my wife's opinion, having a private bathroom would be a big plus for families.

i had a lovely stay at mcmenamins crystal. the front desk staff was super friendly and welcoming. the freeform saltwater soaking pool was a hidden gem, and it was great to unwind there. i enjoyed the location—so close to downtown attractions—and the cozy queen room was filled with character. the free coffee in the lobby was a nice touch at checkout.

I had a lovely stay while exploring the downtown area. The unique artistic decor made my queen room feel special, and the saltwater soaking pool was a fantastic retreat after a day of walking around. I appreciated the staff's friendliness and the coffee available in the lobby, which was a nice touch at checkout.

The queen room was cozy and full of character, which really added to the stay. I loved the eclectic decor—super funky vibe! The shared bathrooms were clean and pretty well-maintained. Only downside was no TV in the room, but that added to the unique experience I guess. Still, a little more privacy would have been nice.

The saltwater soaking pool was refreshing, but communal bathrooms were not ideal.

I truly enjoyed the unique artistic decor at Mcmenamins Crystal Hotel, which made each corner feel special. The saltwater soaking pool was a delightful retreat, and accessibility features made it easy for me to navigate as a senior.

More accessible seating options in dining areas.

It was just a proper fit for a brief retreat in Portland with great value for money. The staff were incredibly friendly, from check-in to dining. Just be prepared for communal bathrooms and bring some shower sandals.
