The McMenamins Hotel is rooted in music history, and I am so glad I did so. I chose this hotel because of its association with the Cyrstal Ballroom, where I attended a show. The staff was courteous from beginning to end, the bathrooms(although communal) served my needs, and I had no issues. The downstairs hot springs are amazing, and I'm saddened that I did not spend more time there. On the bright side, if I ever needed a quick getaway, I'd take the time to drive to Portland from Seattle. Parking can be a hassle, so expect to pay $25 per day at a nearby parking lot. Shout out to Kay and Chloe for the service. Oh, and forget to attend the adjacent cafe. :)
