Pros:

We liked the location, the staff, and the varied historic facilities on the property. It is a compound!
We stayed across the parking lot from the main building in the Ed House. Terrific room, comfortable bed, and decor reminiscent of the era it represents--there are surprises throughout the property! Easy walk to restaurants, breweries, cafes and the river.
We regret that we only stayed one night and could not absorb all the great offerings of McMeneman's!

Hard at night to find your way around. Bed was horrible. TV was so small for the size of room
Pros:

Cool place with the secret rooms. Restaurant and bars on sight are very good.

Cons:

The bed was HORRIBLE. And very hard to even find entrance to office at night. Hard to find entrance where our room was located.
