What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 209 guest reviews
McMenamins Elks Temple earns widespread enthusiasm for its extraordinary character — eclectic art, a historic building, and multiple themed bars and restaurants that set it apart from standard hotels. Guests consistently praise the atmosphere and staff friendliness, though the lack of dedicated parking is a recurring practical frustration, and some room-level details (dim bathroom lighting, no mini fridge, atrium rooms without outside windows) leave minor room for improvement. Overall sentiment across these reviews is overwhelmingly positive, with most guests eager to return.
