THE DETAILS
about the compass
the compass is a sustainable, modern take on a b&b, so we do things a little different here - we are a little like a lux hotel, a little like an air b&b, and a little like a cool hostel - specifically:
WE'RE DIGITAL: check in and out is fully digital. your room and front door code (its the same) are sent via email and text before you arrive - if you have any issues please respond to the email or text or call us at 503-583-2677.
WE CLEAN BETWEEN: while we tiddy up the common areas during your visit, daily cleaning is not provided for your suite. if something happens, call or text us and we can help!
WEEKEND BAKERY BAR: we offer baked goods from alea on saturday and sunday mornings from 8am-10am the cafe to enjoy at your leisure!
WE'RE SUSTAINABLE: we do our best to limit single use items and plastics and were we can we use compostable materials or recycled plastic. we have upgraded everything to energy efficient appliances! help us by recycling what you can, reusing towels, etc.
WE LOVE TO CHILL: we designed the common areas with you in mind! feel free to hang, work, make new friends, just please be mindful of your fellow travelers - quiet hours are between 10pm - 7am!
WE TRUST YOU: our wine library and advinture club shops are on the honor system, see something you love, scan the nearby qr codes and make them yours!
GETTING HERE: mcminnville is about an 1 hour from the Portland airport. unfortunately, the willamette valley does not have ample uber/lyft service so please check out our recommendations in the getting here section.
