TripAdvisor Traveler Rating based on 480 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.

Great for getaway yet close to everything

Love this place! Every 6 months we go with 10 people and book the house or the suites that sleep 10. Great for a group of close friends and fellow passporters. You can catch a movie, soak in the pool, drink and then hang out by fire pits all in a day!

Loved the property, disappointed with the room we were offered.

Loved the property, really disappointed with our room. We were given a handicapped room without the need for or request of, which wouldn’t matter, except that the location and comfort were sacrificed. The room was directly above the trash dumpster, so quite noisy at closing time as staff from several kitchens/bars dump the day’s waste, and grumble about their wasted lives working. Bonus on Thursday morning when the city sanitation service shows up at 4:51 to dump the garbage, and a bit later when the recycling truck comes through—or Vice versa. Likely due to reducing obstacles, there is no comfy chair, just two straight back chairs, only place to relax is the bed, which by the way is an EXCELLENT quality and appointed.

Pretty interesting spot, but sub par

Cool spot in Bend, we were hoping to find a proper Irish or British pub, but this was close enough. Beautiful building and outdoor area. Glad that it is really dog friendly. It's nice how they have their own liquors and beer, but it would be nice to have some recognizable brands too. Irish stout was good, but not great. Their whiskey left something to be desired, seemed quite watered down. The fish and chips were okay, heavy greasy breading and overcooked fish. The fries were brown, soggy, and over salted. Sadly the best part was the cole slaw, thankfully was delicious. The staff was friendly and efficient. It's a place for the ambiance, not the food, I probably won't come back.

Something Different

We did nights in Bend, and decided to stay at McMenamins. Great location with downtown right outside your door. The hotel is very cool. Very different look and feel than anywhere else we've stayed. The staff was helpful. Room, bed, and bathroom all good. Wi-fi too weak to reach our room halfway down the hall from the front desk. We did the breakfast package which worked out great. Interesting just to walk around the halls in each of the buildings and check it all out. Bend was great. Very good stay.

Great escape

Just stayed for the first time at mcmenamins in Bend. What a wonderful place . The staff were excellent. Loved my room. I had a drink and dinner in the restaurant . Great food! Staff were very friendly . There is a big soaking pool and a movie theater. I was on a business trip. I am looking forward to coming back with my family. Mcmenamins is a great company. I have stayed at a few of their other hotels . I always have a great time. Good job!👍🏼
