Very good

Liked: Breakfast was satisfactory. For our purposes, the location was perfect.
Disliked: I was in room 126 (light bulb room) and the toilet has a slow internal leak, which caused it to refill frequently. I'm a light sleeper, so the sound kept me partially awake during the night. I notified the desk clerk and told her to wait until I left to fix the problem.

Go to for Forest Grove.

Liked: The Grand Lodge is my "go to" for Forest Grove. On site restaurants and comfortable rooms.

Exceptional

They could do better. Mcmenamins...

Liked: The staff were nice. I love the feel of Grande Lodge, and the entertainment was nice. Always a good Spanish coffee.
Disliked: The price is rather high for no bathroom, microwave or fridge being available in the rooms. The beds could be updated and better quality. The food was outrageously priced, and really not that good. I usually bring a cooler, or eat somewhere else.

The soaking tub alone is...

Liked: McMenamins' properties are very unique, and this one does not disappoint. The highlight of our stay was the soaking tub; not just a hot tub, this gorgeous amenity almost makes one think they've escaped to the woods, with natural stone and beautiful landscaping. Several restaurants and bars too keep you entertained. The heating and cooling system worked wonderfully to ensure the temperature was "just right".
Disliked: The room took us past unique to quirky... with chipped furniture and an odd assortment of quotes on the walls of the room. Also disappointed that McMenamins no longer provides complimentary movie passes to overnight guests.

Superb

Liked: I was familiar with the McMenimen's brand of older buildings, bath down the hallway etc. The artwork was awesome.Food in restaurant very good.
Disliked: Coffee was often "out" by 8:30 am and had to ask for replacement in the lobby. Would have liked to have hot water for tea available during the entire day/eve.

Pleasant
