Element Bend

I didn’t like the fact you need a card to open the front door to the facility during breakfast time. I stayed one night because I had my kids playing soccer for a tournament. We went out to the car to take back our luggage/equipment to the car then we were going to have breakfast.. when we were heading back into the building the doors we close. I never realized or never seen a front door of a welcoming hotel to have an option to go in..Honestly I felt very uncomfortable due to waiting in front of the door for a couple seconds to be open awhile people were having breakfast. I walked in the just give my check out keys I told my kids to get something quick to leave the hotel..

The breakfast was nice. Besides the muffins, cereal and yogurt, they made a little breakfast item as well. We had sausage and strawberry cheese blintzes one day. I liked having cold fruit infused water daily. Our room was a mini-suite. We used both the kitchen and the sofa. The shower was powerful and the bed was comfortable. I walked into town one day and it was not too far.

Perfect location 2 blocks from downtown of old Bend with many unique stores, breweries, stores as well as the river walk trail. Parking was free at hotel as was delicious breakfast and a complimentary happy hour (beer, wine, cheese and crackers) every late afternoon. Room was terrific with kitchen and full fridge. Also laundry on site (you have to pay to use the machines). Rented bikes nearby as well and explored the many trails nearby.

The Element is lovely. The lobby is clean, inviting, and comfortable. The rooms are totally adequate, and the overall property is perfect for families.

The pool area was well lit ,with window walls to the east and west. The free breakfast was better than the usual hotel fare. I didnt use any bikes, but they were available, and it looked like there were storage units for a guests personal bicycle. The outdoor fire table area was a great spot to relax in the evening.
