One of McMenamins' best venues, this old schoolhouse has been remodeled into a hotel – two rooms even have side-by-side claw-foot tubs. The fabulous tiled saltwater Turkish bath alone is worth the stay; nonguests can soak for $5. A restaurant-pub, three bars, a movie theater and artwork complete the picture.
