DoubleTree by Hilton Bend is a mid-range chain hotel that attracts lots of business travelers as well as a fair number of tourists. The 117 rooms and suites here are bright and spacious, if generic and simply decorated. Some add balconies or whirlpool hot tubs. Features include a tiny fitness center, a small indoor pool, and a restaurant with room service, but its the hotel's central location in downtown Bend that sets it apart. Travelers may also want to consider the Hampton Inn & Suites Bend, which is a bit further from town but has a lovely location right on the Deschutes River.

Mid-range business hotel with casual atmosphere and free cookies

The hotel is nothing special from the outside -- just a modern cement building in shades of terra-cotta and ochre. Inside, the lobby features stone tile floors and a large seating area with plush leather sofas and chairs. Guests are greeted at the long wooden front desk with a fresh chocolate chip cookie, a standard feature at DoubleTrees far and wide.
