Originally built in 1922 as a Masonic & Eastern Star home, the Grand Lodge is off the beaten path in Washington County wine country, thirty minutes west of Portland. After exploring local vineyards, enjoy a meal in our Ironwork Grill or Yardhouse Pub, unwind in the soaking pool or get a massage from Ruby’s Spa. Later, stroll the gardens, play some pool in the Doctors Office or share a bottle of wine in Bob’s Bar.

August 12, 2025Deborah NSimple, cozy convenience, plus history and architectural preservation
We overnighted in Forest Grove to attend a graduation. The Grand Lodge, a repurposed 1922 former Masonic retirement home, feels cozy, comfortable and very non-corporate. Our second floor room was quiet and refreshingly simple, decorated in calm, muted colors. It had a really good closet, with excellent shelves. The gorgeous hand stenciling, and wall paintings related to Forest Grove history, made the room beautiful. Like the entire building, our private bathroom was solidly built and functional. The hotel provided two strong glass tumblers for the bathroom and two good mugs for morning use at the coffee service in the lobby. Despite the vintage ambience, our room had lots of convenient outlets for charging electronic devices. These thoughtful touches made the hotel feel luxurious even though the price is mid-range. We were happy to be able to take advantage of the restaurant for a late dinner and an early breakfast; the food and service were totally fine. The McMenamins chain deserves a lot of credit for preserving many fabulous old buildings around the Northwest. This seems like one of their best efforts.

June 27, 2025Mary WWorst place ever
This is the absolute worst place I have ever stayed in my life. Right now there is blaring music downstairs that ‘might’ stop at 10pm. There is no bathroom or shower in the room, a total shock to me. There are people who are loud, playing music everywhere and a fly is buzzing around my head right now. Someone started playing guitar next door. This is the worst place I’ve ever been.

Funky & Fun
My sister and I enjoyed a soak in the outdoor soaking pool and a yummy dinner for President's day. The pool was deliciously warm and the company great. After soaking we went to the main restaurant in the lodge and shared the flat bread with goat cheese and figs and the Truffle fries. Yummy!

Elegant building and grounds! Superb!
What a fantastic compound! This beautiful old former Masonic retirement home is filled with amazing architectural details and amenity delights! We only had time for lunch and a walkabout, but I’d love to come back and stay here someday! Movie theater and soaking pool on the premises. Nice wee gift shop, lovely gardens. Gracious exterior hidden away from the main drag/highway. Enchanting!

Know your room before you go
As much as I love McMenamins and what they have done to revitalize old buildings, I cannot recommend the Grand Lodge. They put us in a basement room that was wedged between two bars, one in the hallway just outside our door and the other, across the hall. The band played until about 10:30 p.m. the first night but the yakking went on until 1 a.m. At various times, the bar patrons sat on the sofa outside our door talking loudly (to be heard over the band). Another time, someone tried to get in our room. Apparently, seeing a door marking the "Jerry Garcia" room was too intriguing to pass by without trying. The room itself was dark and cold. The window was dirty and what little view there might have been was obscured by debris and foliage. While we knew the bathroom was shared, (it had never been a problem at other places we've stayed), we didn't expect we'd have to walk through the bar in our pajamas to use it. Of the five bathrooms serving a large number of rooms, two were out of order for the entire three days we were there. The bathrooms lacked surface areas for us to put clothing on while showing. Before we left we looked over some of the upstairs rooms and they were vastly better than ours. No comparison. If you have any interest in staying here, I suggest you speak to someone while you are making your reservation and pick out your room in advance. I had no inkling when I made our reservation that we would be staying in the building's armpit. These rooms should be reserved for drunks who can't drive home and wouldn't mind the noise and lack of privacy. (BTW, we are not new to the funky fun of McMenamins. We stayed in the Elks Temple in Tacoma and had a blast. It was a much different experience.)
