McMenamins White Eagle

funky cool historic place with Polish and haunted history, in beautiful condition. Fun with the rock bands downstairs playing 70s favorites before bedtime. Comfortable. convenient to the light rail. Very gracious staff.

This is unique and fun, it's an old building with a bar below. So it is noisy, but great atmosphere. Rooms are cleverly painted with sayings. Bathrooms are down the hall--important! Although it was not crowded so not a problem. The first time i checked in someone helped with bags;not the second time, and it is steep stairs. You can get beer and bring it upstairs . That's fun.

Great funky Portland Hotel. Bathrooms and Showers are shared. The sink in my room was used as a urinal and had a smell while brushing my teeth.

The White Eagle is a quirky, small hotel in an industrial area of Portland with a downstairs saloon that features live music. My room was very small, but comfy. The A/C kept it cool on a hot day. There is no television. A sink is in the room. Toilets and showers are in the hall. All the rooms have names on the door-my room was Griselda, and there was a poem with that name painted on the wall. Art abounds. There are prints of geisha girls and posters for rock concerts in the hall. The showers have attractive mosaics with a white eagle theme. The downstairs restaurant which has an outside patio serves tasty pub fare and there is a full bar. The staff are attentive and friendly. One checks in at the bar and receives a room key. If any after hours issues come up one calls the Crystal Hotel. There were a few issues that came up during my stay but they were quickly resolved. When I checked in, the hotel had no record of me, even though I had received a welcoming email from the hotel. It turned out I was registered for August 2027. They said glitches like that happen with 3rd party bookings. When I received my bill electronically after checking out there was a $30 pet fee, though I had no pet. I had to call the hotel to get that taken off. If your idea of a hotel stay is luxuriating in a hot bath then watching cable TV from a California king size bed this is not the hotel for you. But if you want an out of the ordinary hotel, you're in luck!

The Eagle is always a special experience and take me back to a kinder and gentler hotel experience 😎

Didn't stay. Neutral. Were informed *after* e-check and it was too late to cancel accomodation that only street parking would be available. Chose not to stay for this reason and found other accomodation.

The building is old, well cared for with rustic - with character. The bed was comfortable and the room had a small sink. Toilet and shower are communal and I found them to be very clean. There isn't a coffee maker in the room but they bring out coffee in the hallway. There is a wonderful bagel bakery on the same block with coffee if you need it earlier. I'd definately stay here again but if you want all the usual comforts of a hotel, this is not the place. If you are flexible, it's a fun place to stay

This is a fun place to stay, and definitely the cleanest and coolest at the price. You have to share a bathroom and you can clearly hear the band in the bar, so if you plan to take a bath and go to bed early, look elsewhere. Bonus for being next to Bernstein Bagel's for an easy morning treat.

It is an experience. Must like music because you will hear it in your room until midnight.

Excellent on all counts, stayed in the "Bad Boy" room. Loved the way this old spot was fixed up, even with community restrooms and showers, very neat. Only bummed I didn't make it here on Blues Monday's.

Super cute rooms, was better than I anticipated even with very good description of facilities. The host was awesome! Yummy food as well.

Great space! Would stay there again!

I really loved staying here. The staff was incredible and even waited up for me to ensure I got into my room after my flight was supee delayed. It was a really cool set up and expeilrience. If you are looking for your typical hotel experience, this is probably not the place. The rooms are smaller and it is a shared bathroom and shower. However if tou are looking forna unique and really fun experience, this is the place. Live music downstairs, good food, and quirky rooms easily walkable to a lot of cool bars ans shops. I would highly recommend.

Convenient and inexpensive! Wonderful staff and bar/restaurant below with good happy hour. Close to the Max line. The bed was uncomfortable

I love the uniqenezs and historical aspect. Loved our stay!

A unique experience in both the saloon and hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Terrific venue.

Check in was good and informative. Area close to city transit train transfer to PDX. Ants were in bedroom and crawling all over in shared shower room. For the room amenities were great! Soap. Shampoo. Bathmat, towels and handcloths. No television, but not there to watch TV.

Great little spot to stay for the night. Cute, functionally efficient. Little confusing for check in (check in is with the bartenders). You may want to check on the live music schedule at the saloon. They had live music until 11 PM and the music can be heard and felt in the guest rooms which are upstairs.

Nice place

The White Eagle does not have staff available after the downstairs bar closes. If staff is needed after hours, a courtesy phone in the hallway dials a downtown hotel also owned by McMenamins. Luckily, I didn’t lock myself out of my room after hours. I did not feel unsafe, however, if I felt uneasy around any guests, I’m not sure if it would have been a good night’s sleep. It was an inexpensive place to stay near a light rail stop close to downtown. Comfortable bed. Close to I-5.
