My wife and I stayed at the hotel for three days this past weekwhile we enjoyed the Bend Ale Trail. Overall the hotel experience was great. You can find cheaper hotels in town, BUT you can't beat the location. The hotel has everything, even a soaking pool. Everyone who worked at the hotel was friendly. Our room was good size... More

We stayed at the Old St. Francis School and truly enjoyed the abundance of things to do in one location. We had Happy Hour including one of their delicious barbequed burgers for $5 and the always favorites Cajun Tots and then relaxed in our room until the evening music started. We watched two bands and then proceeded to join the... More

This was our first stay at one of the many McMenamins' properties and we were mightily impressed. What else can you say about a place that not only brew its own beer, but also grinds fresh coffee and delivers it to your room each day with the morning paper? But the friendly and helpful staff truly makes this place --... More

This is our first stay at a Mcmenimens hotel and it was a blast! I'm very critical, ask anyone, and the staff is THE friendliest and most helpful we have encountered. (and we've stayed at hotels in many places, in many countries). We had our toddler with us so naturally things are more complicated. The staff went out of their... More

The moment we arrived at the front desk, we were welcomed warmly. Although we requested a queen room, we were upgraded to a king room as the hotel was sold out of queen rooms. This hotel has a lot to offer in the way of pubs, theater, entertainment, soaking pool, and delightful employees. Our room was a former classroom transformed... More

My husband and I have had fun checking out one McMenamin hotel after another. The McMenamin brothers are known for taking historic buildings and restoring them as hotels. We started with the Kennedy School, then took the train to the Olympic Club up in Washington, then Hotel Oregon in McMinnville, and Edgefield in Troutdale. However, our favorite one, that we... More

Flashback to Catholic school...I really love the character and charm of the old St Francis School. My room was eclectic and yet very comfortable. I stayed for a week and was able to get yummy pastries for breakfast if I wished it - and thankfully I could ski off the calories!! I stayed for an entire week during the winter... More

I preface this review by saying I'm a huge fan of the McMenamins and have stayed at several of their properties, including the St. Francis, previously. We had a nice gift certificate so decided to "splurge" over the holiday weekend. The room rate was $175 for a two double bed room, which seems high for Bend. The room was nice,... More

We had an excellent stay on our prior visit to the Old St. Francis. Last time it was a summer visit and we were looking forward to going this time during the cold winter months and to catch some skiing around Christmas time. The snow on Mt. Bachelor wasn't that good yet, but we still love Bend year-round. It was... More
