My stay at this lodge was absolutely exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the beautiful property, peaceful surroundings, and incredible attention to detail throughout the entire guest experience. The lodge itself is stunning thoughtfully designed, impeccably maintained, and perfectly situated to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The rooms were comfortable, and offered the ideal balance of luxury and relaxation. What truly sets this property apart, however, is the staff. Every team member I interacted with was warm, welcoming, professional, and genuinely committed to ensuring guests have an outstanding experience. Their hospitality made me feel valued from start to finish. The amenities, dining, and overall atmosphere exceeded expectations. Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway, a special event venue, or a place to reconnect with colleagues, this lodge delivers on every level. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already looking forward to my next visit. I cannot recommend this property highly enough!

Beautiful setting with an opportunity to create a more memorable atmosphere I chose to stay at The Lodge at St. Edward State Park because of its beautiful location in the state park and because I knew the property had once been considered by McMenamins. Having enjoyed many McMenamins properties over the years, I was curious to see how this hotel would compare. The location is outstanding, and the building itself is impressive. It is clearly positioned as a luxury hotel, and it succeeds in many respects. However, I left feeling that it was missing some of the warmth and character that make certain historic properties truly memorable. The hotel seems to be reaching for a similar feeling with Father Mulligan's Bar and the Tonsorium Bar, but both spaces felt a little too modern. I think these areas would benefit from a more timeless, elegant style with traditional furnishings and a cozier atmosphere. Luxury doesn't have to mean contemporary—sometimes older, classic design creates a much richer sense of place. Since this is a luxury destination rather than a pub-focused hotel, I wouldn't suggest making it more bar-centric. Instead, I'd encourage the management to put even greater emphasis on relaxing amenities like the pool and sauna and on creating inviting spaces where guests naturally want to linger. What McMenamins does so well is create an atmosphere that is difficult to define but easy to feel. My overall impression is that The Lodge could become something truly special by asking, "How do we capture that same sense of warmth, history, and discovery—but interpret it in a more refined, upscale way?" If they achieve that balance, this could become one of the Pacific Northwest's standout destination hotels.
