Hotel check-in took a little while to find and was not immediately obvious.

Breakfast was delicious, and the ambiance of the property was amazing - I almost didn't want to leave the premises.

Room was too dark and no coffee in the room

Historical place and we loved the hidden rooms!

Stayed in March 2024

Loved the bars, fire pits, coffee in the morning, comfortable bed and surprisingly quiet room, given all the activity.

It is pricey for what you really get.

You stay here for the experience - it is very whimsy

Nothing

Very accommodating staff, a wonderful restaurant and the hot pool was perfect. The room was very spacious and lovely.

We walked to the Turkish pool in our robes in the snow. No covered areas between the rooms and the pool.

Food, entertainment, niche bars, vintage decor and more

Cool, unique hotel with lots of interesting history. Multiple bars and the soaking pool was great. Location is perfect for exploring downtown Bend.

Main building could be updated

An eclectic hotel with fun atmosphere

Just the closets. They did have hooks on the walls that worked for clothes. The grounds were lovely so I can't think of anything else

This former Catholic school for girls and boys capitalized on the service of the nuns. Each room was named after a nun with a bit of her story. The bed was painted with a nun and the walls had pictures of nuns working together, Fixtures were old fashioned and playful. Color combinations were wonderful as was the whole of the interior of our room. Only drawback was a lack of cl0set (s). Not a big problem. There were several bars and a good restaurant. On bar was a speakeasy with a hidden entrance, Very charming.

Did not eat breakfast. It was so smokey we hit the road early.

location was good, easy to find, parking adequate, Speakeasy & bars cool.

The room was a little dark -- probably because it was so large!

Perfect location in downtown Bend, close to restaurants and the river.

The hotel is a comprised of several buildings and I had trouble navigating my way around. I kept wishing there were "You Are Here" signs in the areas between buildings. Smoking is allowed in the outdoor areas, and there's a cigar bar. I have a lifetime disgust for the stench of cigar smoke but had to walk through the smoking area to get to my room.

This was my second McMenamins property and I love the eclectic, relaxed, fun vibe. The room and bed were very comfy and clean. The location was wonderful! Just a three block walk to Drake Park with great coffee spots, restaurants and shopping all very close by. Downtown Bend has a lot of walkers and it feels safe, which is important to me as a solo traveling female. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a movie theater as part of the hotel complex. I got to see the new Indiana Jones film. A treat! There was also plenty of free, off-street parking.

having a spare bulb for the projector on site so we could have watched the movie would have been helpful

food was great, staff were friendly and service was excellent all the pictures / history of the site as well as all the great art work is always a bonus

Stayed in June 2023

The room was dark even with the lights on. Bathroom had very little vanity space to put cosmetics, etc. on. Staff on duty at check-in was not cheerful, smiling, or pleasant. He just got me checked-in.

Did not have breakfast, as I knew service was very slow, because I had had lunch there. Went uptown for dinner.

Nothing. All good

It was quirky and magical. So much to see and do. Hidden rooms and hidden bars. Hot springs plunge pool and cinema from sofas.

The showerhead in my room was generic and could be improved upon but that is the only thing.

McMenamin's offers elegant rooms with comfortable beds, large bathrooms, room service, and fluffy terry cloth robes and towels just like other high-end luxury hotels. However, McMenamin's offers more than simply a nice place to stay. I might not choose McMenamin's for a quick overnight stay. But as a destination unto itself no question, this is the place to stay! McMenamin's offers a fascinating and imaginative world that is not only relaxing but takes you to another place, an adventure in itself that is a luxury I find difficult to express. I loved; the artwork, the themes throughout, the stories and references to music artists and songs, the headboard in my room, the soaking pool, all the food wherever you ate it, the outdoor fireplaces, wood paneling, the warm feel, the atmosphere, the people both other guests and McMenamin's staff. The list is endless. Plus it was amazingly quiet. I did not hear neighboring rooms or bathrooms or even the public patio outside my building. All this is right in the heart of downtown Bend.

Stayed in May 2022

The bed was somewhat uncomfortable, and the room's bathroom had very little shelf and sink space to place your toiletries, etc.

All of the public facilities, the staff, and the many fun activities right there on the premises.

Stayed in May 2022

Just wish there were better temperature /fan control options. The air in the room easily became stuffy.

As a solo traveler I was quite pleased by the activity options right there in the eclectically decorated hotel complex. I soaked away the driving miles in the wonderful spa pool and only passed on the Pub Trivia game so I could enjoy a big screen movie in an actual movie theater with grown up drinks and snacks available.
