TripAdvisor Traveler Rating based on 424 reviews

Spend the night in a former classroom or nuns’ cottage at this renovated 1936 elementary school, located in downtown Bend. No worries about disrupting class here! Have a scotch and some spirited conversation at O’Kanes Pub, settle in the outdoor courtyard to enjoy a pint in the central Oregon sunshine, take in a movie in the theater, rest your bones in our soaking pool after a day spent on the links or the slopes.

Sheesh. 400+ reviews? What else can I add? Probably very little, but I'll say that it's a McMenamins, and so you can expect a certain level of quality at all of their various locales. This place isn't an exception. It's also got, from my experience, some of the friendliest staff. Parking can be an issue, but it shouldn't be that difficult if you're willing to walk a bit (get those steps!).

Classic McMenamins

This destination embodies the kind of Oregon history, with great attention to Oregon artists' work, that McMenamins prizes. We stayed in the original school to be close to the AWESOME soaking pool -- like being in Rome! -- and the other room venues look fab as well. Don't miss the hidden bar. Really.

The most fun hotel ever!

I was in Bend several days for work, and with this hotel as home base, it felt like a vacation. I couldn't get over the awesome soaking pool. I loved the array of indoor and outdoor pubs for dining, sipping a cocktail or my morning coffee, or hanging out. The wood-burning stove and the many outdoor firepits are a wonderful touch. I attended a history event and never even made it to the movie theatre. McMenamins food often isn't anything special, but this hotel is within walking distance of several excellent restaurants for variety (I recommend 5Fusion for dinner and Salud for a healthy, tasty breakfast or lunch). Wifi worked great, my bed was comfy, the large-ish work desk was great, and the room was totally charming, as are all spaces in this fascinating old venue. It's a fun place to use a McMenamins passport, too—and book for the hotel's own website rather than through a booking site to earn free nights really fast.

Long day’s great evening

Arrived early evening, after a very long drive, to friendly faces and a warm welcome. The room was quirky and nice, if a little small. Charming. The wee ground-floor balcony was a nice touch. Everything was clean and tidy. OK value for money. Great location. When next in Bend, we will return.

Good pub food

Good food, mostly pub food done well but not extraordinary. We had a large group so service was a bit slow. A safe bet for a solid meal but not for a special meal. Not that many options for a vegetarian/vegan.
