McMenamins Olympic Club

They do a great job maintaining and cleaning this hotel. Note it is shared bathrooms and shower rooms. There was no lineup for them. Decor /art on the walls is great and tells of Centralia history.... It is dog friendly. There is no tv in the room but that's ok. There is wifi and we got to watch the new Indiana Jones movie in the theatre. The train is loud as we were in a back room but they supply earplugs. It's a reasonable stay here. Good staff.

We lovexto go to the movies at McMenamens for movies and dinner, a few beers always make it better. Comfortable fun atmosphere, good food , good beer and friendly staff. Would recommend this location. Small town vibes.

I love the McMenamin’s properties because of their devotion to historic preservation and local history. This hotel was handsome, quaint, and quirky. The restaurant and game room are excellent. Unfortunately, there’s a major railroad line less than 100 yards from the back of the building. My room (14) faced in that direction. When they pass by, the trains are **LOUD**. They are mostly long freight trains. Because they’re passing through a station, they blow their whistle. I didn’t count them, but I’m sure at least a dozen went through during the night and early morning. Needless to say, my stay wasn’t restful. I hardly slept at all, and being a sleep deprived zombie interfered with my next day’s plans. I don’t know what it’s like in the rooms facing the front of the building, but my room felt less like a bedroom than a train depot. It disturbs me to be so critical of an otherwise lovely place, but when you can’t sleep, that kind of ruins the stay. That room should at least come with an advance warning or a state of the art noise cancellation/reduction machine and earplugs.

This hotel is properly marketed as historic - bath down the hall, trains rumbling by, and noise from the theater below, rooms up stairs, We have a long history with this hotel, but things took a nose dive with COVID and my germ phobic requirements increased. It used to be that the second you walked out of a shared bath, it was picked up and cleaned. There were always spare towels and soap and the towel hamper emptied. This time, during my roughly 12 hours there, zero service was done to the bathrooms. Like last year, 1 of 4 bathrooms was "out of service". Coffee now arrives upstairs at 8 and there is no Keurig-type machine, so if you leave before 8, no coffee for you except instant and a hot water container left from the previous day. It was also announced at check in that the back stairwell was closed for renovation, which means apparently 1 stairwell for potential fire escape? Time to return to some very nice less quaint lodging in town that's not much more money.

We love this place, it’s an hour from home and makes for a great mini gateway. This place is such a community connection spot. From shuffleboard to pool to movies and so many food options. The hotel rooms are upstairs where you can really hear the train at night, thankfully they offer earplugs

We had lunch in the pub, but as I am a McMenamins passport holder I did a bit of exploration of the rooms, it is a small hotel and the bathrooms are shared, but there are many of them in the hallways so it should not be a problem, and of course you will see narray a bit of plastic in the whole place, if you miss places that look unique then you will adore it. easy walking distance to many shops and antique stores.
