Scene
Chain hotel with a contemporary feel and some unexpected amenities in a residential area
Guests are greeted by a warm, inviting lobby with high ceilings that creates an open feel. The room is done in shades of brown, with a large nature mural on one wall and black accents adding a stylish touch. The tile floor feels utilitarian, but there’s a nice sitting area with comfy armchairs and a sofa, plus free coffee and water are on offer. The grounds are modest, but well-kept. A path around the building is surrounded by trim lawns and shrubbery, and is shaded under trees. A few benches offer a pretty spot to sit. Decent amenities, including an outdoor pool, for the affordable price makes this an attractive option for leisure travelers to Bend -- couples and families alike.
Location
In a quiet residential area near chain shops and restaurants
This hotel is on a quiet road in a residential area, just off Highway 20 on the eastern side of Bend, Oregon. It is close -- within a 10-minute walk -- to shopping centers housing lots of chain stores, fast food options, a few restaurants, and grocery stores. There’s little to do in the immediate vicinity, but the highway makes other areas of town easy to access. There is a public bus stop a three-minute walk from the hotel.
From the hotel, it is a 10-minute drive to the top of Pilot Butte, where there’s a fantastic 360-degree view, or guests may park at the bottom and hike one of the trails to the summit. It’s a 13-minute drive to the center of town, as well as several parks along the Deschutes River with walking paths, fishing, and open spaces. The High Desert Museum is a fun place for kids to learn about the area, located a 17-minute drive away. It is a 23-minute drive to the Lava River Cave, a lava tube visitors can explore. The slopes at Mt. Bachelor are a 15-minute drive from the hotel. Redmond Municipal Airport is a 30-minute drive from the hotel, and Portland International Airport is over a three-hour drive away.
Rooms
Simple but contemporary decor, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers
Rooms are simple, but outfitted in contemporary decor with a welcoming feel. Warm, neutral colors are appealing and have classic black and white accents. Ivory walls are offset by dark-wood furniture -- a wardrobe and a work desk -- and black frames around several nature photographs decorate the walls. The two queen-size beds, or single king bed, have a brown coverlet and black-and-white runner with a leafy pattern. All rooms are nicely equipped with a flat-screen TV, mini-fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, and iron, but there’s no safe. Bathrooms are tiny, with just a toilet and a shower with a glass door, and the vanity is outside the bathroom. A hairdryers is provided and free toiletries include soap, shampoo, lotion, and makeup remover wipes.
Features
Outdoor pool and hot tub, plus freebies like breakfast, Wi-Fi, and parking
This hotel is light on features, but it has a few nice extras that make it a good value for the money. Outside is a small pool and hot tub on a concrete patio at the back of the property. Though the space is simple, it is a pleasant spot surrounded by grass and a few trees, and there are plenty of white plastic lounge chairs.
The free breakfast is served in a modest room off the lobby. Guests find the continental spread satisfactory, plus there are hot items like waffles and sausage. This is a pet-friendly hotel for a fee. Free Wi-Fi and daily newspaper make an appealing package, plus on-site parking is free.
