We spent one night in the 'White Eagle Hotel'. The room was small, without any window. The air-conditioning was very loud and didn't cool down at all, the temperature was too high and the air was too dry. I could not sleep very well because of the mentioned points, but this may have also been related to my terrible jetlag... More

My mom and I stayed in a bunk bed room and loved it. The rooms are small but room for what you need. It's nice that you can take drinks from the bar too. Live music everynight, so not a quiet place until midnight or so. More

It's an interesting hotel and for sure not for everyone!! If you are a light sleeper you shouldn't come here, it's true what a lot of people say, the rooms are apparently not very well sound isolated and downstairs is the bar with live music!! BUT, the hotel is cute, it feels kind of old, but they decorated the rooms... More

I always sleep great at any of the McMinnies (stayed in all but 2). Must be the beer, I guess! We stayed at the White Eagle for a night with friends down at the Kennedy School. Nice not to be busted for the rest of the evening. You get what it is folks, a room with a bed, chair and... More

I had to spend almost 10 days in Portland and didn't want to waste all my money on a hotel so I ended up staying here and I really liked it, even though you do hear the music coming from the bar downstairs and you have to share the bathroom and the showers. It is just a unique and charming... More

Yes, it is in an industrial area, but we liked the location better than downtown, there were many many more hip restaurants and many many many fewer transients. It was easy to get to the action around Alberta street by taking the bus. The place was super clean for a former brothel above a bar. The rooms are adequate size... More

The people working at the White Eagle are very friendly and add to the atmosphere. The hotel is located in an industrial area.There was no desire to go walking around. The parking lot is small, and if you don't get there early you will be parking on the street. I stayed in one of the rooms with a full bed.... More

My husband just loves the McMenamin's hotels and we've stayed in most of them. We enjoy the "artwork", the casual strangeness and generally clean funkiness. Although the quality of the food and service varies wildly, the beer is always good. We like the idea that they make a lot of the things they sell - beer, wine, spirits, some cheese,... More

I thought there was a typo in the price of this place. But no, a friend and I got rooms in this old lodging house for $20 bucks each. It's not for everyone. It's above a bar so there's noise. The bathrooms are showers are shared, not en suite. But was a sink in our room (and in most I... More

Stay in a former brothel above a bar? Better do it while I'm still young, I thought! But the White Eagle is great for travelers of any age, as long as you keep an open mind. My party stayed in rooms 1 and 2, which are above the front of the bar--a great place to stay if you are concerned... More
