7.4/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms in the Art and Ed buildings provided comfortable amenities, but the outdoor seating for the bar right outside the windows made it loud at night, affecting my sleep quality. The service was attentive but lacked clear communication on offerings. The location was excellent, with downtown just steps away, but the late-night noise outside the Education building was a downside. Dining options were good, and the facilities were decent overall.

The rooms had outdoor seating for the bar right outside the windows, which could get loud at night, making it hard to sleep early for my business meeting.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were exceptionally clean and well-appointed, with a charming touch of the historic Prohibition-era secret place vibe. The McMenamin-style attention to detail was evident everywhere, making it cozy and unique. The service was great overall, though some improvement in communication about offerings could enhance the experience. The location was perfect for exploring downtown, just steps away from shops and restaurants. The dining experience, while requiring a walk outside, provided delicious meals. The facilities were top-notch, adding to the overall positive experience.

The hotel's rooms faced outdoor seating for the bar, making it very loud at night and difficult to sleep early before a business meeting. The service was efficient and friendly, but lacking in some amenities like coffee. The location within the education building lacked facilities and featured noise disturbances. The dining options required walking outside. Despite shortcomings, the hotel is worth the drive to Bend.
