We made a last-minute reservation at Douglas on Third and were surprised by how it compared to its strong reviews. The stay felt overpriced for what we received — thin walls, small details overlooked (like powdered Coffee-mate creamer), and a lack of clarity on what amenities were complimentary. We mistakenly assumed a bag of pistachios was included, opened it, then threw it away. When staff called to charge us for it, we explained the misunderstanding and mentioned it had already been discarded. While polite, they still insisted on charging us. We've never written a negative review before, but walked away disappointed and confused by the high ratings this place receives. I encourage anyone to be sure to read the reviews that are poor and look for consistency. Also go to Google Reviews.

This was our first trip to Oregon wine country and we chose to stay at Douglas on Third based on its location and great pricing. Our room was the owner’s suite #8 which had a sitting area, kitchen, bathroom with a claw foot tub/shower combo, and a separate sleeping area with a king bed. It looked exactly as pictured on the website. The suite was what we would consider somewhat ‘tight quarters’ at 334 sq. feet but was immaculately clean and we were able to get towel replenishments and such using a paper form which we placed in a basket outside our door. As clearly stated on the website, the hotel rooms at Douglas on Third are all on the second floor and there is no elevator, luggage lift, or ramp. If you have difficulty with steep stairs or carrying your own luggage up steep stairs, this is not the hotel for you. If that is not an issue, then you should be fine. Again, this was advertised on the website, so we were not expecting an elevator but the stairs were somewhat steep (especially in back where you park). The location of the hotel is perfect and in the center of town where we could walk everywhere. We felt that Douglas on Third was a good value hotel with a very reasonable room rate and excellent location.

Great location in the heart of town for walking to restaurants and wine tasting, and well placed for easy drives to the surrounding wineries. No staff in person but they are responsive and easily reached by phone. They have laundry facilities which came in handy since we were in the middle of a long trip. Rooms are not well laid out, with space that could be better utilized to povide a better feel. Quality control could be better. One of the two TVs (the big one in the living room area) was not working, and over a three day period this was not addressed. Fortunately we had a TV in the bedroom area and did not spend a lot of time in the room, but it was not checked beore check in and not corrected after. Our room was a way from the bar downstairs so it was quiet.

Made a change to our hotel travel plan to Oregon after arrival and were able to find Douglas on Third on line after seeing reviews and walking by while we were in McMinnville. Reservation and self checkin via coded entrance and room access was super easy. The second floor efficient flat was well organized with everything we needed …comfortable king bed, sitting area and kitchen and bath amenities. We appreciated the dedicated parking on site and ez on-line checkout. Be aware that stair access is required from entry to second floor.

Douglas on third is not a HOTEL. Let’s be clear. It is a refurbished apartment complex that is setup to be used as an airbnb. There are effectively no amenities. No one at the hotel. No one checks you in. No one cleans your room. You have to ask for replenished towels (which I will say they were prompt to bring). But I want to stress this isn’t a hotel, and needs to be rebranded as something else. Our room, room Six, was right above a bar. And music played all day long….not relaxing for me. Also they have air fresheners dumped through out the complex. Some people maybe into this “ boutique” style. But it’s not for someone looking for a hotel experience. Better off at the Atticus or somewhere outside town like the Allison.

Great location. Walking distance to fabulous restaurants, breweries and wine tasting. Easy check in and out. Great coffee with a fully equipped kitchen for all your needs. Comfortable bed and furnishings. We were there the weekend when they closed the main street down for outside seating at the restaurants. It was busy but not over crowded.
