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.

August 20, 2026Patricia BDisappointing
This was a very disappointing stay. We stayed 8/12-14/2026 in the Art House. The room was dark and the lighting was very poor. We had two maintenance issues during our stay and it took 3 requests on each issue before we could get the issues repaired. The first one was bugs in the sink and second was a slow/clogged bathroom sink. One staff person apparently didn't report the maintenance requests at all because when we checked on why repairs were not made, there was no record of our request. This made the room almost unusable for half our stay. Additionally, after using the soaking pool, we tried to dry our bathing suits not he patio and found the patio was filthy, with someone's old beer glass left on the patio. The chairs were so dirty we didn't leave our suits out there. Finally, at checkout, we repeated our concerns and asked that the manager give us a call, leaving my number. No one called. Despite a great location and fun vibe in the common areas, I would not recommend this place. Stay somewhere else and go there for the restaurant and fun.

Enjoyable lunch of fish and chips and salad with chicken. Good, but pricey, chardonnay. Kitchy environment on the main drag. The server was personable, and the service was acceptable. We were in no hurry, but we were a bit disappointed in the timing. Nevertheless, I would return because of the atmosphere and the quality of the food and drink.

Extraordinary dissatisfied and disappointed for the price .. Our room #2 was $450 for a night. The room was extremely dark . We had to use a flashlight to look in our luggage. No daily service. Requested extra pillows and they only had one . Bed was very uncomfortable. The worst travel experience ever .

May 23, 2026lollylooloo95123great location for our first time in Bend!!
We love everything about McMenamin’s!! It’s a fun quirky vibe for music lovers. Our room was small and the bathroom was very small. The shower was tiny. But it was comfortable and in a great central location in downtown Bend, the soaking pool is awesome. The cigar lounge my husband loved and they make excellent drinks.

Great place to stay
This is the first stay at the McMenamins Old St. Francis and I'm glad I did. It was a wonderful experience with many interesting things to do, eat, and drink on site. An added benefit is it location right in old town Bend - an easy walk to my favorite Bend brewpub - Deschutes. I particularly appreciated the welcoming I received from the front desk agent, David. He helped me select the right room (I am a light sleeper), encouraged me to check out all the hidden gems like the broom closet, and other curious places. The soaking pool was incredible - a great place to relax in a serene setting. The only downside to the pool was the late afternoon when kids (with parents) where in the pool. Will definitely stay there again on my next visit. I just have to find the secret second bar located adjacent to the main hotel.
