DO NOT STAY HERE I…read morefollowed the hotel's own policy by calling ahead to confirm my late check-in, and two different employees told me I was good to go. When I showed up just after midnight, my entire reservation was canceled without warning. The GM wouldn't help and made me pay out of pocket 7x more than I had paid originally. She just said her "hands were tied" and there's nothing she could do. (As the GM? Nothing you can do?) The hotel itself was a a little rough--our room was never cleaned over the course of our 4-night stay, front desk staff was unhelpful, and basic requests (like an extra blanket) were denied for ridiculous reasons. Never again for me

I will say, I do like the river next to the hotel. The road noise is loud during the day, and drowns the river noise out though. Six years later I returned and was very disappointed with the upkeep on the room. The floors were clean, but sticky, the furniture was gross and stained, and the walls dirty. Every single contact I had with female front desk staff was superiorly negative. The long-haired guy at night was awesome, and very accommodating. But those other ladies, yikes! Whether by phone or in person, they were just nasty to us. As if I was begging for food, or stealing from them. All I wanted to do was check in! Staff alone motivates me to skip this property in the future, not the mention the poor upkeep.

Great building with a lot of history. Need a space for your events? Call them. They have space available. The dinning room view is amazing overlooking the river. I used to live by here before I became an Elk. I wish I had known. I haven't checked out the bowling alleys but the pictures on-line look awesome. That will be another day.

We love this venue. We attended a wedding a friend hosted by The Abernathy Center. They have a…read morechapel and a reception fall. Both venues are close but not in the same building. They are directly across the street from one another. When you drive into the area there are signs for parking that are close the reception hall. If you're attending a wedding it's going to be in the chapel. So the walking from the parking lot to the chapel isn't super convenient if you're wearing your best formals. Anyway lovely place. Spacious enough for a mid sized event.

Came here to attend a wedding around June, was lucky that it was a dry afternoon and evening. The ceremony site is pretty much directly below the reception location, so easy to get around. Bathroom is a 1 minute walk from the reception site but also not covered.

To celebrate West Linn's centennial this year, the city offered a number of special events. One of…read moremy favorites, as a student of history, were the monthly historical walking tours in different neighborhoods throughout West Linn. This first walk in January started at the McLean House and the series just concluded here as well. It is a beautiful venue that I consider to be West Linn's grand house. Sure there are plenty of modern mansions much more extravagant in scale and decor, but this is a beautifully restored and maintained historic home that is a lovely remembrance of times gone by and my city's roots. The home was given to the city by the McLean family after the construction of the Abernethy bridge drastically altered their river view. It is still a lovely location with a park like setting out back featuring a gazebo built by the local Lions Club. The interior has been restored with an eye to matching the original decor as closely as possible. For example, upstairs in the Groom's Room there is a nautical theme and you will see the wallpaper is very close to the original paper still present in the closet. The Bride's Room is the former master suite and my favorite room in the house is the sitting room with fireplace and red couch just off to the side. A close second is the sun room on the main floor downstairs. The original light fixtures are beautiful and there are enough updates to make this a comfortable entertaining venue. It is frequently the location for weddings, reunions and historic events in our city. The next public event on the calendar is the cookie exchange in December. I applaud the Friends of McLean House for doing such a wonderful job maintaining this historic structure and opening it to the public.

I cannot say anything negative about this place. The McLean House staff was unbelievably helpful…read more They were hired for setup and teardown but helped the entire day!
