Each room is dedicated to a different artist, musician or poet at the McMenamins hotel. It's located smack-dab in the middle of town, and on the premises are Zeus Café, a good restaurant, and Al's Den, a speakeasy bar. An original, creaky wood elevator and basement saltwater soaking pool complete the picture.
