Barbara Rawa Review of McMenamins Edgefield

We have been coming to Edgefield for more than 20 years. Absolutely love the quirkly hotel rooms and even the shared bathroom idea. Sort of like when you were in college. They normally do a great job in constantly keeping them clean. These shared bathrooms are specifically listed as for "hotel guests only" as per the sign posted in front of the restrooms and your hotel key is needed to open the door to gain accesss to these restrooms. This past visit however was horrible. There was a concert and they did provide porta johns for those attending. However, after the concert, as expected, a great number of the attendees came to the hotel to go to the bars and restaurants. Rather than restrict them to using the public restrooms in the hotel and restaurants the staff removed the "hotel guests only sign" and opened these bathrooms to the concert attendees to use. Needless to say the restrooms were like outhouses and to top it off were not cleaned again until the next day. I went to the front desk and asked about this and was told this was "normal" after a concert and I should go to one of the bathrooms on the upper floors. My room was on the first floor by the way. This practice should be discontinued. Hotel guests, who pay to have hotel guest only bathrooms on the same floor as their room, should not be required to share those bathrooms with hundreds of concert attendees.
