McMenamins Old St. Francis School

Beautiful building. Really nice beer! I had the vegan Jamaican bowl and it was not great, very soggy and maybe too many flavors happening, I couldn’t finish even half… instant indigestion (but also I’m getting old so maybe it’s just me haha). The space is worth a visit for sure

Went there for a movie and it was great! Love that you can eat a full meal while sitting on a couch and watch a movie with a great projector and sound system. Highly recommend

What a fun experience! So many different areas to eat, drink and hang out. My friend and I got a drink and walked the property looking at all the secret rooms and buildings. I loved the different vibes each building/area had. All the outdoor fireplaces were great and really helped us to keep warm while enjoying the outdoor patio areas. After wandering and drinking our libation we decided to go into the restaurant to eat. We decided to sit at the bar so we could sit down immediately and not have to wait. I ordered the Cajun tots which came highly recommended. I wasn’t so sure why so many people raved about them. Well now I can tell you! They were scrumptious! They were cooked perfectly crispy and the Cajun seasoning was sooooo good! The tater part of the tot wasn’t chunky but a perfect consistency. It was also served with a wonderful peppercorn ranch. YUM! If you go don’t miss out on them. My friend ordered the burger with tots and he said the burger was cooked perfectly, was juicy and had great flavor. The size was substantial and he even took half for his lunch for the next day.

I am so excited to plan on future visits to more of their properties.

Super heady spot 👌 everyone was chill. Beers were lit 👌 food was 🔥 possibly a little skimp tho.
Environment was top tier. Fires out side at night 👌
Rooms were great, everything was clean and well kept.
Exploring the grounds was just what we wanted. Our local McMenamins is the grand lodge and it's right on par with that.
So that was dope.

Service was spotty in the pubs because of the holiday and low staffing, new staff. We expected waiting, but it was very slow, didn't get stuff we ordered, we were forgotten several times, etc. The food tasted good, drinks were fine. The atmosphere was fun.

Room service was great though. Hotel staff were nice and helpful. Room was clean, cozy, beds comfortable. In-room coffee is good, and having robes was a nice thing.

The soaking pool was fun. Clean, water temp good, not too crowded. Walking through the pub in your robe to get to the pool is necessary. 😅 (You can just go to the nearby changing room and change there, but we were too lazy.)

Parking is a pain. Hotel guests should get assigned spots.
