    It's been years since we've visited McMinnville and Hotel Oregon. We decided to stay for one night just before the Christmas holiday. We arrived about 5pm and checked in at the front desk where we grabbed a cart to get our luggage to our room. After unloading in the 20 minute zone, we parked in the free parking garage about a block down the street. Built in 1905, and originally known as Hotel Elberton, it remains the tallest building in downtown McMinnville. The interior is decorated with relics of the towns history and the 1950 UFO sighting. Today, it looked just as we remember, we approximate the last time we walked through the halls and visited the various bars was 2015 ish. Here we are 10 years later and it appears they do a very good job of maintaining the property including everything from general maintenance, painting, functioning elevators, quaint bars and restaurant spaces and the overall cool, eclectic vibes that McMenamin's properties are known for. We were also reminded that Hotel Oregon serves as the official center of the annual UFO festival which we were told brings in as many as 30,000 visitors! Our room, the Ollie Ruffner White, was a dedication to the original patriarch, Ollie White. She married her childhood sweetheart, Tom White in 1890 and the couple headed west to Oregon landing in McMinnville in 1892. There they raised three children. When they opened the hotel in 1905, the family of five moved into rooms on the second floor. The room was clean and comfortable, however, we noted we are not used to staying in historical properties where the room sizes are cozier, counter space simply does not exist, and modern amenities like TVs and desks for laptops, etc. just aren't available. Therefore, our recommendation is this makes for a fantastic weekend getaway, where you can pack light and enjoy your weekend exploring the area. We did find it a bit difficult to have 7 days worth of belongings including gifts for our holiday trip with us in a small space. We did sleep well, and it was very quiet, which was appreciated. Main Street was decorated beautifully for the holidays, which made this extra special. There are plenty of local shops, restaurants, and well over 200 wineries in the region that make this a great weekend getaway spot.

    Amazing views at the top of the hotel. Had a few beers and some tarot tots. The tots were really good and I received a lot of them! Also a lot of interesting history with the building and previous owners. Would recommend visiting.

    One of my favorite places to visit. Charming old building with lots of beautiful seating choices. Food is consistently good. Love the atmosphere. Great service. Very enjoyable place to bring the family.

    Very unique, charming, old hotel. If you're looking for a fancy 5 star you probably won't like this. I enjoyed how different it was. Clean, staff was great, multiple bars and restaurants to go to and you could spend half a day just walking around looking at the artwork on all of the floors. We were fortunate to be there at the end of October so they had the basement pub decorate and it was great. I would love to try another establishment somewhere else. Loved the area the hotel was in as well.

    Great place to stay when in McMinnville. Clean, reasonable and a great restaurant downstairs that whips up a great breakfast. Longe in the VERY bottom of the Hotel is worth checking where one can also sort through a stack of old 33 LP albums and put them n the turntable to listen and chill to! Rooftop restaurant outside dining was fun as well!

    What a quirky old-time get-away! I felt like we were staying in my great grandmother's house: old creaky wood floors, great staircases, and the feel of history all around you. Our room was spacious, sunny, and clean. The bed was comfy and our 2 dogs loved their stay. What's not to love about the Hotel Oregon?!? The staff were super friendly and parking was FREE! We love visiting McMinnville and can't wait to return to this hotel.

    I know that McMenamins food and brews can occasionally be divisive for people, but most people seem to agree that their hotels are top notch experiences. Although we didn't stay overnight (this time) at Hotel Oregon, we received a pretty complete tour of the grounds in the search for our passport stamps, and I can say that once again, my wife and I were very impressed, and look forward to staying here in the future. Despite popping in to the front desk a total of five separate times (once for each stamp), the woman working the counter was wonderfully friendly and gracious. A couple of the smaller bars were closed during our hunt, but we were able to take in the charming, always quirky McMenamins aesthetic throughout, dined in both the ground floor pub and the rooftop bar, peeked into a couple rooms being (sic?), and enjoyed strolling and shopping along the conveniently adjacent 3rd street downtown district of McMinnville. Visitors to this surprisingly endearing town would be hard pressed to find better lodgings.

    The lobby bar.  Sunday night.  Cute hotel in the corner of Main Street

    Nice cozy hotel in downtown McMinnville. Close to all the tasting room. Typical McMenamens fair. Comfortable casual. No parking at hotel. Street or garage about a block away. Rooms are small but nice. Bed a little hard but adequate.

    I do love this historic hotel and chose to stay here even though my week long work was in Newberg. I had a common bathroom on this stay--it was clean but not convenient. I wouldn't make that choice again. But I didn't deduct a star for that. However, I did deduct a star for the general shabbiness of the curtains, the towels and the bath robe. The morning coffee still rocks, and the mid week stay was super quiet. The staff is always great here. McMenamins seems to have survived the pandemic shutdown, and I'm grateful because I truly enjoy my stays here. Still, it's not a discount hotel and much of the charm has to do with attention to detail. I hope that focus returns to the small, needed repairs, replacements.

    It is an interesting and historic spot, just cause of that, it could be a good place to stay. However, it is rather noisy as it's a very old building, and people who happen to stay during my stay were rather loud too. Oh there was a woman's painting in the room and it is one of those creepy ones where the eyes trace you, the whole stay gave me nightmare for 3 days! There's a poem written by a woman who used to stay in that room on the wall!! It is very creepy! No bathroom in the room is a No Go. I wish I knew about this prior to arrival. You have to travel a long hallway to use the public bathroom. I am only giving it 3 stars because of its historic value.

    Hotel Oregon rooftop bar.

    Gorgeous location in McMinnville, Oregon with a wonderful rooftop bar. Unfortunately it's also one of the more expensive McMenamins locations. So, when they rush and cut corners its quite disappointing. My wife was excited to try a new raspberry seasonal salad with goat cheese, hazelnuts and a Ruby-raspberry vinegrette. Sadly, it had more hazelnuts than it did greens and was so overdressed it was nothing but a dripping mass of soggy salad. Very disappointing. I'm vegan so there are only a few options for me to eat at McMenamins and so I rely on their Mystic 18 burger a lot when we eat at one of their locations. The Mystic 18 at Hotel Oregon was one of the worst ones I've had. It was very dry, the cheese was cold (and as we know, cold vegan cheese is not fun!), and the patty was gray and anemic, looking barely cooked. The rooftop bartender Steve was the saving grace for our meal. He makes a mean drink, my wife enjoyed her Summertime Tea immensely, and he was a very funny dude. If not for him and the fantastic view, this would have been a 3 star instead of 4. If visiting here for a meal or a drink, know you're paying for the ambiance and view. You can get the McMenamins beers cheaper at other bars, even though they make it themselves!

    All McMenamins establishments are a must-see, and Hotel Oregon is no exception! We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful historic hotel. Every room has its own personality and feel. The walls are thin, so if you are a light sleeper, this might be a bit difficult as you can hear the creaking and chatter of fellow visitors. We stayed in the King room with a private bath, which was marvelous! The hotel is UFO-themed, as there was a sighting in this quaint town years ago. Keep a watch for the hidden UFO art in the hallways!

The location could not get any better. It is so convenient to all of the stores and restaurants. Our unit was like a small apartment. One small room with a couch, high bar table, small fridge, sink and microwave. That small room led to a pass through toilet/shower room. The shower was tiny and the doors to the toilet/shower room were just sliding barn doors so you literally hear everything in there (not sure if I'm a fan of that part). After walking through the shower/toilet room, you hit your bedroom. It was a nice size. For those with mobility issues, there is no elevator and the units are all on the second floor so you will need to climb stairs. Communication with Douglas on Third was excellent. They had very detailed email information on how to access the building, how to access your room, parking, etc. You may also text them to communicate. I would absolutely stay here again!

They do respond to complaints, but otherwise it is a DIY operation. Access is with coded door locks. They have excellent free self-parking, but they do not have an elevator to reach the rooms on the second floor. It's actually a flight and a half to the top of the stairs. Decent size guest rooms although ours was an unusual layout. Bathroom sink is in a tiny closet. Unexpected small steps between bedroom and entry area guaranteed to trip the unsuspecting guest on the way to the toilet - in the dark. Their excellent plush towels make up for the tiny shower stall with a shower curtain instead of a glass door. Room #3 has a view of a partially enclose narrow space between the building exterior wall. Somewhere inside this space there is an exhaust fan, probably from the Thai restaurant, that pumps out incredibly strong cooking odors beginning at 6am. Fortunately, they are closed Sundays, so we had one night of relief. They have a small lobby halfway between the ground floor and the guest rooms. Sometimes they have background music and coffee available, sometimes not. Overall, I think the room rates, ours was $300-$330 / night are too high. However, there are not a lot of options in McMinnville near 3rd street.

I had applied a $50 online credit towards my stay (Best Western reward for earlier stays). But the lady at the front desk wanted to charge me the full price of $198. Fortunately I noticed and told her. She asked if I had the "coupon" print out. I said no, it was electronic. So proceeded to show her the email confirmation which she seemed surprised about. She had to manually change the price to $148 which I paid. She then had to go check the room (420) to "make sure it was ready" which I have never had happen at a hotel. A few minutes later she came back and said it was so we got our room. Additionally the Internet was terrible. I had to take one work call (zoom) the next morning before heading out. I was dropped twice from the call and froze several other times throughout. Not a good experience. Then I get home and two days later the charge posts in my credit card for the full $198.
