The first time we ever went there we were mocked for not knowing how it worked. We were there for my son's 6th birthday, but luckily kids are oblivious to that. We tried again and had a much better experience checking in as it was with a different gentleman, but unfortunately, we had a negative experience leaving. Our child accidentally spilled some food and we apologized to a different guy as we were leaving and he rolled his eyes at us and said "Jesus." We felt awful. I work with the public and if I spoke to someone like that, I would be fired. Anyway- I want to love it, and the building was beautiful and felt clean, but we can't justify going back.

All that together is enough to blow any Regal Cinemas out of the water already. Their prices for everything, from tickets to concessions and even food and cocktails are also so much cheaper than any major theater chain, I'm not sure why you would come see a movie anywhere else. My only thought would be capacity, which is further reduced by social distancing requirements during this pandemic. Still, it's hard to beat, and we were lucky enough to grab a couple tickets to see our first movie in a theater in more than a year. And while I was nowhere near as excited to see "Tom and Jerry" as my wife was, it was still a very relaxing, enjoyable time. I forgot how much I have missed that communal theater experience. If you find yourself yearning to relive that experience yourself, you're not going to find a better place to do it than at a McMenamins theater, and the Old St. Francis theater is among the best.

The overall vibe of the theater is tired. That said, the seats are comfortable, and things were clean in the theater itself! I will say the online reservation fee is frustrating... everyone books online these days. Having an additional fee to book seats is a bummer. Long story short, it's a decent spot to watch movies!

I thoroughly enjoyed Paddington and ordered their veggie pesto bowl $14 with a small bag of popcorn. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming and the theatre room was very clean. The small veggie rice pesto now was a little pricey for $14. The popcorn was delicious and the small bag was perfect. The only thing that seemed a little off was the flavor of the water- maybe that's the taste of Oregon water but it was tough to swallow... Overall, a charming and lively local theatre experience.

We are not movie people. So, when a movie caught our fancy, we looked for a theater and were…read moredisappointed by things like assigned seating. Then I found Sisters Movie House and Cafe. I was correct in assuming that a mid-week matinee would be a good time to go. The people at the counter were friendly and helpful. We bought too much popcorn and upgraded our tickets to Club Level seats. I do recommend Club Level seats. A man, that I assumed to be the owner, talked briefly about the movie, introduced us to the house dog, and warned us to protect our popcorn from the dog. Maybe I will start paying more attention to movies and return to Sisters Movie House. BTW, the cafe looked interesting.

Staying right across the street from the church, this was an easy decision! While we never actually sat down for a meal here, we did have a couple of take out orders. The first was a hamburger for dinner. The burger was delicious once I got back to our room to eat it. It was an extremely busy Friday night and I was warned that there would be quite a wait. Actually, it was only a half hour. Customer service was excellent. The second was a Denver Omelette and hash browned potatoes that we shared for breakfast the next morning. It was a delicious meal. Again, service was excellent. I even declined an offer to have the meal delivered to our room Negatives: 1. There was no fridge or microwave in the room. I was awaken about 4:00am, I thought my husband was taking a shower, I felt him, so I know it wasn't him. It must have been a loud fan! 2. We couldn't look outside the windows, we have our drapes closed all of our stay, the outside seats for the restaurant were right outside, and it can get noisy during Happy Hour. 3. The sink is too small, none of the glass shelves are fit for my Waterpik. Positives: 1. The pillows were perfect. The TV channels were right on my show. 2. The temperature of the room was good, no drafts. 3. The night light also goes on, when all the lights are off. That's a bonus, because we always forget to bring our night light. 4. I love the colors, decor, ceiling fan light of the room. 5. In the morning, Fresh coffee was available on a table right outside our door. If I wasn't reading on the back of their menu, I would not have known or heard about their St. Francis Turkish style bath. If we have more time in the day & night, we could have done some tours around the building in and out. There's always a next time!

They have updated it a bit to make it friendly for folks with mobility issues. They have two theaters and we went to see the latest cartoon in the lower theater. It looks like they may still have the same seating. I couldn't really tell as it was dark. The pricing was decent about $9 for an adult. You really aren't going to get much cheaper than that nowadays. I love it and glad they reopened it in 2007. I will definitely return again.
