"First time visitor. We were just hanging out as it was a central locatiin. Came for lunch. Waitress was amazing at helping me get a delicious meal, within my diatary guidelines. (Salmon on a salad. Perfection) We had a snack before we hit the road, steak bites, and fries. All delicious, and again the waitress was delightful"

Real reviews from guests
"Such an amazing experience! Room was behind our expectations. All staff was so friendly. Our stay when during the time Eric Leadbetter played. We enjoyed him so much. Visited the market and had a wonderful time also! We will definitely stay there again!"
"We enjoyed lunch at the upstairs bar overlooking the river. I can see us coming back during the summer to dine outdoors. We took a walk along the Waterfront afterwards and popped in to the Mountain Timber Market for some shopping. The giant authentic Totem Pole inside was worth the visit alone!"
"Another great stay at a McMenamins! Everything from the food to the staff to the room/facility was amazing. Will be back again. Thank you to the Kalama staff (Dianna our server before leaving was kind, funny and just overall wonderful)!"
"This was our final hotel room of our 9 day road trip home for the holidays and I tell you, McMenamins did not disappoint! We opted for a river view room and it was absolutely perfect in every way! The room is exactly what you would expect in a PNW lodge, outdoorsy, wood everywhere, subtle lighting and darker colors. Everything was spotless in the room and the bed was super comfy. We settled in quickly and relaxed after a day..."
"Great Pacific Northwest hotel! I really enjoy the atmosphere, decor, view, and drinks! The food is just regular bar food- good burgers, sandwiches, or pizza. Cajun tots are the best item on the menu. Come here for a fun place to enjoy good company, great drinks and a wonderful atmosphere!"
"McMenamins Kalama Cove Harbor We had dinner here tonight with extended family and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the Swiss cheese mushroom burger, which was excellent—very flavorful and cooked perfectly. Ray had the Salisbury steak and really enjoyed it, and I also tried the African chicken soup. I’m not entirely sure what all the spices were, but it had a great kick—spicy, rich, and absolutely delicious. Our friends ordered cheeseburgers as well, and everyone was happy with their meals...."
"We had a great stay at McMenamins Kalama Harbor Lodge! The views over the river were beautiful and we saw Sea Lions and Bald Eagles and more! Walking along the river front was relaxing and we enjoyed visiting the other McMenamins Bars along the way."
