mcmenamin's hotel rooms...

McMenamins White Eagle Rock -n- Roll Hotel   

$50 weeknights, $60 weekend nights. Nestled in North Portland's industrial neighborhood, the legendary White Eagle Cafe and Rock 'n' Roll Hotel echoes with tall tales of resident spirits, poker games, and Shanghai tunnels, as it has since its opening in 1905. Today the place is known for its vintage charm and nightly rock 'n' roll shows. 

*McMenamin's are in historical buildings that have been converted into pubs, hotel rooms, cafe's, and other spaces. Many hotel rooms have shared bathrooms. If this is a concern, please call their front desk to clarify.

*I'm not too familiar with the North Portland neighborhood, so you may want to do a bit of research, or just call the hotel and inquire.

McMenamins Kennedy School  

$109 queen room. Lodging rooms at the Kennedy School  include queen beds as well as a private bathroom, and telephone. Guests may enjoy complimentary use of the saltwater soaking pool and free admission to the movie theater.

*This is the place where we are planning on having our pre-wedding shindig. Check out this post for details on the space.
