Days Inn by Wyndham Bend

Good value, great location, facilities need improv

Most 2-3 star Bend motels are way out of town. This one is centrally located, which was perfect for us as we needed to shuttle back and forth to the climbing gym. This also made it close to the Bite of Bend festival, and other leading restaurants around town center. Days Inn was a good $200 cheaper, cumulatively, than the next comparable motel, and that one was way out of town with its only on-paper advantage being an indoor pool. So good value. The pool is outdoor and the first 2 days were chilly, but the water is almost bath-warm, so going in was not a problem. The breakfast is not stellar, but definitely ample, with the the headline dish changing every day (waffle, oatmeal, etc.), but omelettes, cereal, toast, yogurt, fruit, etc. available every morning.

They did some superficial renovations (paint, appliances, bathroom decor, etc.), but the beds are not very good, and the room as well as the entire building, feels outdated. Also, there was a bunch of long-stay young men (probably on some work detail) who were getting up at 5:30 every morning and idling their diesel truck for very long minutes. The first morning they were even yelling and laughing; later that day I asked one of them to be less loud at 5:30, and this didn't repeat. They still idled their truck right in front of our room the next morning. The last morning we lucked out; their truck was a few doors down ;) It is the hotel's responsibility to make sure they observe quiet-hours etiquette. The early-morning person can notice if people are making too much noise that early in the morning, esp. on a weekend when the motel is full. Last but not least, it'll be nice to have an extra 30-60 minutes for breakfast in the weekend. A 9:00 end time on Saturday or Sunday morning is a bit tight ;)

Room was quiet and worth the pricetag. Walking location to all the bars and restaurants was nice!

Hotel breakfast was not very good

all night hot tub!
