Wow what a trip to Frenchglen. Arrived at the "hotel" and were booked into room "A" which are the rooms behind the hotel. Unpacked, showered, walked the streets, had a "family style dinner". Bed time . . . woke up the next morning-ew my legs itched, were red and swollen. BED BUGS! My husband also experienced the same thing. I would not stay here! Would think state of Oregon could do better with their accommodations!

Thank goodness the state of Oregon recognized the need to preserve this little piece of history! My 92-year-old dad had been here ages ago and wanted to return, and I am so lucky to have gone with him on the trip. The historic hotel (actually, it is younger than my dad) is pretty much the only thing in Frenchglen. What a treat to stay someplace without so much as a stop sign, a place where time seems to stand still. The hotel faces east with a wide-open view across the desert to the Steens Mountain area, so unpack your bag in your clean & comfortable room then relax on the hotel's front porch, chat with the other guests, and watch the late afternoon light play across the mountains. The hotel consists of 8 guest rooms upstairs, all sharing a men's and women's bathroom. Everything is basic but spotless and well cared for, and the towels are plush. If you need a larger room, barrier-free access, or desire a private bathroom, there are four rooms in a more modern addition out back known as the Drover's Inn. John, the proprietor, is warm and welcoming gentleman and an outstanding chef, so say "yes" when he asks if you want dinner reservations! Both breakfast and dinner are served family-style and portions are beyond generous. I asked my husband what he liked about the hotel and he said, "The beer is cold, the food is great, the bed is warm." It just doesn't get any better.

My wife and I stayed at the Frenchglen Hotel in July 2011 after many long miles on our tour bike. John was a very gracious host and full of information. After a full day in the saddle the quiet hotel with soft, summer breezes and a comfortable bed was exactly what we needed. Breakfast the next morning was superb with pancakes bigger than hubcaps for the long trip back home. Recommend highly!

This place was a great place to stay, it was perfect for our needs. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The staff was very kind, and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.
