"mcmenamins is always super fun! Basic SRO style rooms , but very comfortable beds and linens.
Like usual, this is a bit different from the usual hotel room - the facilities are great and the amenities far more comfortable than you’d think for the price , but if you want the average motel experience keep looking.
Vintage touches galore., modern AC / hvac, no direct controls. Wifi limited. Mcmenamins restaurants are technically next door , meaning you will ever so briefly exit to street , so no breakfast in your slippers , but also fun.
Trains are VERY close - for me that’s a feature not a bug but if you’re sensitive to sound , bring noise cancellation .
pre-ADA means steep stairs , and you’ll need two hands to manipulate a physical door key for a bolt and separate handle - not a problem for me either but be aware !
Cozy restaurant next door with firepit outside and wood burning stove inside , fun vintage cinema theater experience included ; main street area close to all the shops bars restaurants that old downtown centralia has to offer - again small but hopefully if you book this you’re going on purpose for the experience!
I’ll return.
