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.

Love movies, food and beers

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.

Enjoyed our stay

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.

No longer my preferred lodging

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

Food , fun and a good bed to rest your head 

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.

Room 14 felt less like a bedroom than a railroad depot. Was hardly able to sleep.

As made clear by the hotel itself, this is a renovated old property subject to noise and with bathrooms down the hall.  Also, there is no in-room control of HVAC.  However, the price is right and my wife and I have enjoyed this hotel over the years.  With COVID, no visit in 2020.  I made one visit in 2021 and then May 2022.  It is clear the property is continuing to struggle with occupancy and staffing.  Lot of little items amiss and one big one, bathroom attention.  I took this up directly with hotel staff and to be fair was credited 1/3 of my room rate, which I appreciate.  However, I didn't get the response that anything would change soon.  Before COVID, towels would be swooped up and the bathroom cleaned as soon as you were out the door.  This time, one toilet was out of service.  In another bathroom, there was ZERO clean up between roughly 7 PM and my departure roughly 8 AM the next morning.   While the bathrooms were not dirty, they were not being cleaned on a schedule that meets my personal needs.  Other items show delayed maintenance and lack of attention to detail.  None are show stoppers, but in total, slow draining sink in room, light bulb out in room, badly wrinkled towels, and end of life bath mat all add up.

Service Lacking

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.

Stay next to the station and enjoy old town Centralia

I was hoping to stay here during my visit to Centralia, but they were sold out!  We opted to have drinks and play pool until late in the evening.  It is a great atmosphere, lots of nice people.  Easy to get a pool table, beer was good.  I would definitely come back.  The food looked good.  Fun experience.

Pool and Drinks

I love taking my grandkids to the Oly Club because if feels like you are going back in time.  The food is average, not out of this world, but not gross either.  I enjoy eating here if I'm not on a schedule.  If you have a schedule to keep, pick a different restaurant.  The service is very slow.

Great place if you're not in a hurry

We took the train to Centralia for a relaxing one night getaway from Seattle. We opted for the very reasonable  room plus dinner and breakfast. We arrived at lunchtime so we ate lunch elsewhere. They have a cosy movie theater with couches and easy chairs. We had out choice between a matinee Dumbo or evening Capt. marvel and chose the latter. The movies are free for guests staying in the hotel. The hotel is a hundred year old travelers hotel. The rooms have sinks and the bathrooms are across the hall and private. Everything was clean and comfortable Besides movies and food there is a bar with pool table and the longest shuffleboard table I've ever seen. The town itself has many antique and collectible shops.
