The hotel is a mixed bag. Staying here is strictly a price over quality decision. The rooms are spacious, the baths are excellent. The air conditioning is in the room and works remarkably well. The breakfast is always has numerous very large fresh bagels, scrambled eggs, oat meal, pancakes and sausage or bacon. Location is good for going to the mountain BUT Bend is small and virtually any hotel on West Side will be close. Its proximity to Oregon State is very good. However, there are some issues. 1. DO NOT STAY ON ANY FLOOR BUT 4TH. I am in a 2nd floor room and every time anyone flushes in a higher room the plumbing sounds like a small subway rushing through the pipes. 2. The hotel is very technology oriented. To buy candy or soda there is an optical scanner and then pay. The scanner did not work well nor did charging to the room. Unless you call on the room phone it is impossible to get the front desk. You are directed to text. 3. You must REQUEST maid service or you will get none. It must be requested a day ahead since the crew only works off a pre-printed form. It is unclear if there is maid service on Saturday. 4. If you are traveling on business and need to work privately in your room, then there is an issue with lighting. There is a single overhead recessed light in my room not quite above the desk. There is no desk lamp. During the day fine. Working at night tough on some eyes. 5. If you firm mattresses and big pillows - seek another hotel.
