Unique Place

This is a unique place to stay. We did not have time to take advantage of all of the amenities, but I imagine it would be a very fun place if we had the time.

Very cool place! love the outdoor patios and fire pits

Our son has his first movie theater experience here and it was magical. Such a unique place to stay and make memories. Can't wait to come back.

great

Cold room, never got warm. Corner room with windows facing parking lots, not impressed with first stay

Tons of history

Tons of cool stuff to see hear, from hidden rooms to hidden bars this was such a cool place with tons of history.

Great spot

Absolutely, awesome best place ever

Fantastic place to stay in Bend

Great place.

Great

The spa pool was so relaxing, was able to enjoy a drink and the snow. The building are well kept and beautiful. Staff is friendly and many things to do onsite and off.

Staff did not update on the sub total when checking into the hotel. No update on any extra information how much it would cost. Two females were extremely unprofessional and did not communicate much. On the check out day the young lady gave the final Cost. Miscommunication lead to asking more questions about the holding fees plus anything additional to the stay. Overall im quite surprised because we have been here previously. We love this hotel and the ambiance. Better luck next time I guess !!!!!!

Loved this place. It was fun to explore and hang out in the various spots on the property. I would certainly stay there again!

We will be back!

Great location, loved the free coffee in the morning and fun atmosphere!

Fun and Comfy

Stopped for overnighter on our way to the Oregon Coast. It was fun to search out the hidden rooms and relax in the soaking pool. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Fun property overall for evening activities. A little older, and there was some mold in the grout in the shower, but generally clean

Artfully and Thoughtfully Made

This is located in downtown Bend and this property is beautiful. Every wall, roof, cabinet, bed head post lamp, bulb, etc was thoughtfully and artfully curated and selected. Beautiful and special place. Loved it.

This was such a delight on the end of a trip. Hidden rooms and speakeasies, the amazing soaking pool and cute rooms

Good location. Parking seems insufficient for the number of rooms. Circling the lot is sometimes necessary. Perhaps best to walk to dinner. Shower is small but great! Enjoyed reading about the Sister-Teacher in our room. Unique experience.

A Great Adventure

This place is beyond wonderful and impossible to put into words. Well, maybe magical. Everyone, the staff and the guests, was friendly. As one walks through the gardens and buildings there are surprises to discover. The food and drinks offered at all the different options was great. We are planning a vacation just to visit some of their locations.

Absolutely LOVED this hotel and all it had to offer from the bars, restaurants, live music, hot tub, speakeasy, walkable to downtown! Will def be back!

Great Location and Beautiful Accommodations

It’s not for everyone, but it is really great if it is for you. If you like music, meeting people, a really different place, good food (except the Hawaii dish), woodsy design. I’d definitely stay here with a girlfriend or with friends, nice vibe.

Oregonian through and through and I’m Hard to please. This hotel offers a cross of “Timberline Lodge” and whimsical McMenamins to a T! Walking distance to the best of Bend! Old Bend is a mirage in Eastern Oregon! The soaking pool an oasis and a lovely surprise. Food and beverage on site is first class. I’m a super fan! Cheers!!!!

Fun property

Amazing stay!

Loved it!

Great staff, locatio

Nice

Fun and interesting gardens, buildings, pool area. Plus very easy to walk to downtown Bend

Good

This is the first time we have stayed at one of these properties and we love it!

Fun experiential and unique hotel with an eclectic vibe. Bars and nooks tucked in. Cute soaking pool, theater, restaurant, etc.

We had stayed at the property on our way out of town and had such a good time we decided to book it again on our way home after our long road trip. Such a treat to arrive. Our room was better than the first stay and we even had a small peak view of the mountains. Love this place.

This was our first time staying at this chain and I have to admit we had fun. The room was cozy and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the room had lots of natural light. There were fun activities to entertain us on the property. We enjoyed the cigar and whisky bar and the speak easy.

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful property

Good service and accommodations

Awesome view to courtyard from my room. Easy access to my choice of 4 or 5 bars and walkable to downtown.

Great place! Very impressive!

Loved the soaking pool. Great experience.

Historic Treasure

This place is super interesting! The wide variety of things to do, the different pubs and restaurants. The Turkish bath, and the rooms. It’s all just cool! I can’t wait to go back and spend a longer visit! This place has some great history!

Love the atmosphere.

Amazing

Dope place with chill vibes

Unique lodging experience! Fun. Loved the big hot tub! Great restaurants to choose from. Very friendly staff. Close to shopping and restaurants. Need to replace worn pillows, beds and robes.

Awesome experience at the unique atmosphere

Interesting place. This was a residential catholic school that has been converted to a hotel. Surpringly comfortable but definitely quirky

Great place

Room was excellent and fantastic shower. Granola breakfast in restaurant was amazing. Will stay here again.

Welcoming with lots and lots of character

Loved the character of the place. Few hotels have such. Staff was great too!

Quick visit but enjoyed the hotel and would stay again. Only drawback is the parking, no spaces at the hotel.

Fun, cool, quirky little place to spend the night!

Friendly and welcoming . Very charming hotel and restaurants.

Great place to stay!

Always a cool place to stay in Bend!

Wonderful and unique place to stay!

Smile people.

The atmosphere was great and it was the perfect location close to everything. The staff were rude. Not just one but all of them. The bed in the room was old and not comfortable for the price of the room.

Old buildings that are cared for. Friendly staff and guests. Really cool place!

Quick get-away…

McMenamins properties are always a great experience! When we were given the room right off the lobby, we were concerned about noise. THERE WAS NO NOISE! We had a great nights sleep. We enjoyed all the amenities, hidden rooms, Broom Closet Bar, theater, and we enjoyed great food for dinner and breakfast. Don’t forget your suit for the soaking pool! We had a perfect night away from home,

Hey, it's McMenamins. A great place to stay and always good food and drink with some of the friendliest staff in the business.

What an unexpected pleasure it was when my husband and I decided to stay here during a business trip. Everything about this place was amazing. From the staff, the food, the ambiance, and the adventures on this property. This place is a must see.

Not enough parking

Amazing place. A must stay.

Completely unsatisfied! This is a place to get drunk and bed proximity so no need to drive!

Beautiful Hotel, excellent service!

What a beautiful place! And the staff was awesome on all counts. The courtyard was lovely and quaint. Food was delicious. The bar/restaurant was so comfortable. We can’t say enough about it. Would go again in a heartbeat.

nice

Great staff.

Best Hotel Ever

This place is well worth the price. The most unique hotel I've ever stayed at. The salt water soaking pool and amazing "lovely Cadillac margaritas" will have me and my family coming back for a nice little vacation, and my family includes our sweet giant doggo

Bohemian comfort

This hotel definitely has a bohemian, artsy vibe. I enjoyed looking at the art in the hallways and finding the quiet nooks in our building. The hotel is split up into multiple buildings. Our room was a standard room with a king bed. It was very comfortable and really clean. My only "complaint" would be that you are literally living out of a suitcase, which my husband was okay with. I like to unpack and put things in drawers. The room only had a very small armoire, maybe 2 1/2 foot wide, that was being used to store a fan, heater, and an extra blanket. Parking was a hassle coming back in the evenings because the lot is also used for the restaurant patrons. Overall, it's a perfect location for walking to all of the breweries, coffee shops, and old town shops. It was also very quiet. We would definitely stay here again.

Just What The Soul Needed

Amazing time staying at this most wonderful location. Even in spite of COVID guidelines they made the stay as wonderful and authentic to a McMennamins stay as you could hope for. Enjoyed great food, a nice cigar and whiskey and even soaking socially distanced in the soaking pool. First time visiting this location. Will be back!

Such a fun and unique place to stay! We loved every inch of the decor!

Cute place, comfortable enough room. It’s a good place for mini break with a friend or partner. The food is typical McMenamins foods, but the room serviceCould be improved. Both times the drinks spilled and got the napkins and everything else sopping wet. Other hotels use these little paper lids, which is something they should think about getting too. And I had to wonder about their kitchen conditions. I got a whole container of scooped butter breakfast, but the butter had a little bit of read some thing on it. It looks like somebody reused utensils that have been also used for jam. It was offputting. Staff were professional, but could be warmer. And, I’m not sure why doors were marked accessible when there were no accessibility buttons. Somebody with a wheelchair would have a hard time.

Great Place to Stay in Bend

Everything about his hotel is great. The staff are very friendly, the decor is cool, the rooms are spacious, there is a pool, theater, and bar/restaurants on the grounds, you could stay at the hotel for an entire trip and still have fun. Super close to other bars, restaurants, and shops and only a 35ish minute drive to Bachelor

Friendly staff and a unique hotel. It’s great having the multiple restaurants available for outdoor dining and room service

Great service especially at the front desk

Okay experience

I spent 3 nights with my boyfriend at McMenamins Old St. Francis. We stayed in their Ed house. My overall experience is good, but lower than I expected. Pros: Great customer service - the check in and check out process are streamlined. We didn’t spend much time waiting at the front desk. Great food - one of the perks booking rooms at a hotel that also operates restaurant is having great food. We ordered breakfast twice and dinner once at the hotel. The food was really good. I recommend the field trip tofu scramble. They decorated the hall way in their own style. It is pretty but I am not so sure about the levitating nun painting in our room. Cons: Shower water wasn’t hot or consistently hot. This occurred to both my boyfriend and me. I felt so cold in the shower due to the not warm enough water and the fan. There is no way to turn off the ventilation fan in bathroom since it works with the lights together. The water was not warm enough and made me stand there for a really long time to warm myself up. My boyfriend took a shower after me and he came out shivering. There is no room cleaning service due to COVID. I guess this makes sense for safety season but it caused inconvenience since we spent 3 nights and had to take the trash out everyday. Also due to covid, some facilities shut down, including the soaking pool. I believe our experience with this hotel would be better after this special period pass.

Each property has its own unique charm. Every room is disigned differently. Aleays a treat to stay!

Eclectic fun out of the ordinary stay. Great location. Great staff

McMenamins Bend - Special and Quirky

We love do

I appreciated their commitment to Covid precautions. I was able to vacation and still feel safe.

Just okay.

The stay was okay, but not worth the price. There were no ice machines so you were forced to walk down to a restaurant or bar, and they close at 10:00. There was no refrigerator in the room. Room service was not advertised which I thought was odd being a McMenamins. The AC didn’t work very well either. It would go on and off and failed to cool the room to the set temperature. The bed was comfy enough, but not amazing. They are pet friendly, so that was a plus.

I love this hotel. It has such a fun atmosphere. Outdoor fire pits next to a cool tavern. It’s fun place to get a drink and smoke a cigar. The room we got wasn't great though. Had a water pipe in the wall that made loud noises periodically all night. But again the hotel overall is great!

Comfortable room and very clean.

This was by and far the best getaway weekend I’ve had. We are huge fans of the mcmenamins franchises and we couldn’t have had a lovelier stay at Old st. Francis! Can’t wait to come back.

Excellent stay in bend

Really enjoy all the McMenamins. Only suggestion for mgt is to limit number of users in soaking pool. can get a bit too many given social distancing needs...

We loved everything about our stay. Staff was beyond friendly, room was clean. I will definitely stay here again.

What a charming hotel. We look forward to staying here again

Totally awesome experience

Great place to stay, eat and drink! The staff are all terrific and the outdoors areas remind of a Elvish realm from the Lord of the Rings!

Getaway to Bend

Stay was great! The person working the front desk in the mornings could have been a little more pleasant! Seemed like I was bothering her when I asked for coffee (which is complimentary). Loved the location and would definitely stay here again!

Loved the space, whiskey bar, and all around atmosphere. One key element we ran into was, as guests, we could not find any outdoor space to just sit and enjoy the evening with our own glass of wine, etc. The only places to hang out was public bar/restaurant seating which had lines to get access to, and pretty much all tables were consistently taken. If there was a patio or other space for hotel guests to have some quiet time outside their room, we never found them.

Very friendly and helpful employees. Food overall was excellent. Unique decor was fun and whimsical. This was all during covid 19 precautions which made it even more impressive. Only thing missed was a mini refrigerator, but ice was always available from the front desk. Loved our stay.

Almost Perfect

The whole experience was great except the air in my room wasn't working. When I told them about it, they said there was a fan in the closet and thats about it. The next morning when they asked how everything was, I let them know again that it was really hot with no AC. They offered to change my room then, but I didn't bother since it was going to be cooler anyway. Bummer about the one night though. It was a bit uncomfortable.

Clean, quiet. Had private parking. Everything downtown is within walking distance.

Amazing hotel and very unique! Incredible staff service and as always good food and beers! Highly recommend and will be coming back!

Bar options to choose from, but didn’t get a chance to use the unique pool due to our own precautions.

Great location! Walkable to all conveniences that downtown Bend has to offer.

We were nervous to stay at any hotel during pandemic. We felt very comfortable with the staff’s attention to cleanliness. Our room was so attractive and location within walking distance of downtown shops perfect. A great place to lower our stress levels.

Amazing and unique. Everything was clean, staff was incredibly friendly and there was something so see at every turn of the property. Walking distance to shop and food.

It was all fantastic! Staff were very accommodating and knowledgeable as well as friendly! Kat was amazing!!!

I lovd thd mcmenamins properties, each unique in thier own way and Bend is a beautiful hidden gem...
