A fully restored railroad hotel one block from the Centralia Union Station, with full Amtrak service. The restoration appears to be very accurate. And did I mention it's a brew pub?

From Wikipedia:
The Olympic Club Hotel is a historic hotel owned by McMenamins Pubs & Breweries in Centralia, Washington, United States. Built in 1915, it was originally known as the Oxford Hotel. This is where notorious train robber Roy Gardner was re-captured after escaping federal custody in 1921. After acquiring the property in 1997, McMenamins changed the name to reflect the new ownership. The hotel features 27 European-style guest rooms and a brewpub movie theatre.

The Olympic Club also hosts musical acts as part of the McMenamin chain's "Great Northwest Music Tour," mostly consisting of bands from the Portland, Oregon area. Local area musicians are also featured on Tuesday nights in a heated outdoor greenhouse.
