Great place, lots of personality. However, some of the rooms are only accessible via a stairwell. We are not disabled in anyway, but lugging three suitcases up and down stairs is not fun. Just a heads up to others, ask ahead if the room you are getting has elevator access.

McMenimans Rock!

What an amazing hotel! Built in 1916 as an elks temple. Paintings and chandeliers and several gorgeous bars. Rooms small, but very clean and comfortable. Only complaint: rooms on 6th floor are interior and do not have windows to the outside.
