The staff was amazingly friendly; the ambiance warm, curious and inviting; the room clean and spacious; the bed super comfy; the location in town ideal. I do not eat at McMenamins due to my dietary needs & quality preferences, so I cannot comment on food or bevs. Also, we didn't swim in the pool, though I've always wanted to. Loved our visit and can't wait to return.

We found plenty to do including playing table games in the Fireside pub. The food was delish and well presented. We also finally made Tripsters on this stay and look forward to spending many more nights at McMenamins properties!!

Staff did not update on the sub total when checking into the hotel. No update on any extra information how much it would cost. Two females were extremely unprofessional and did not communicate much. On the check out day the young lady gave the final Cost. Miscommunication lead to asking more questions about the holding fees plus anything additional to the stay. Overall im quite surprised because we have been here previously. We love this hotel and the ambiance. Better luck next time I guess !!!!!!

Old Bend is a mirage in Eastern Oregon! The soaking pool an oasis and a lovely surprise. Food and beverage on site is first class. I’m a super fan! Cheers!!!!
