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.

Pre-wedding Celebration...

Vesa and I thought that we would get everyone together on the Thursday  before the wedding to go out to this great place here in Portland. So if you are planning to arrive before Friday, here's a peek at the place...

McMenamins  Kennedy School  is actually an old school converted into this super interesting space...they have an outdoor heated saltwater soaking pool, a movie theater where you actually can eat a meal and have a glass of wine while you watch a movie, little bars like the 'detention (cigar) bar', a courtyard restaurant with an outdoor fireplace, a brewery, and plenty of good live music. And if anyone is really feeling like going all out on your  trip to Portland, Kennedy School also has hotel rooms.
