Days Inn Bend

Nice clean but small room … good value and a very good breakfast.

Budget hotel on a busy business street — probably Bend’s ugliest street, but on the flip side the Safeway across the street and other nearby businesses were convenient, and while it is not downtown, it is very close — even walkable. Laughing Planet is next door so I got a few healthy meals to offset the vast amounts of Deschutes IPA that I drank in Bend.
Room was clean and quiet, got a room away from the street.
Wifi was slooooow. I sometimes travel for work in which case the wifi would have been a problem. But it worked well enough for internet searches while my budget vacation.
Breakfast was simple/​basic. On busier weekend days the buffet area was not well maintained, it was messy and things were out of stock (butter, potatoes). By 8:30 on Saturday there was not much left. I noticed that while the breakfast area lay in shambles, two lazy clerks sat in the reception area making small talk with each other, and they didn’t say hi or make eye contact with any guests. Kinda lame. I also did not like that there were no tongs for the bread, or that the same serving spoon was used for eggs and the sausage. Sorry to be a whiner, but pork grosses me out.
The grounds were not well maintained — lots of trash around, cigarette butts, etc. Someone thought to install a doggy poop bag dispenser at the grassy area in back, however it was empty the whole time. That, combined with the litter did not compel the less responsible dog owners to pick up their dog’s poop, so the area not only had garbage but lots of poo. C’mon people! We don’t need more people hating on dogs and adding to the list of places dogs can’t go, do we? Also, the staff should at least tell people to pick up dog poo, even give a few bags like other hotels do — no rules about dogs were mentioned to me.
Overall, because of the low price, dog friendliness, clean room and location, I’d stay again, but expectations would be low. I’d only stay if the price remained low and if I did not need fast wifi.
If you come to Bend with your dog, do them a favor and take them to the Deschutes River trail, I went to the trail at the Meadow picnic area near the Widgi golf course. It is off leas Sept-​May and it is totally amazing. I do not know of off leash trails outside of these months, unfortunately, but Big Sky dog park was okay for a quick romp.

Rooms are fine– a little hit and miss with some seeming more recently updated than others. WiFi is AWFUL and for the most part should be considered non-​existent.
Breakfast was very poorly stocked both mornings and crates of apples and bananas on the floor sealed up both mornings– not sure if they were part of breakfast or not. Nobody had bothered to tend to them if so for over 2 days. Coffee was full so assuming someone tended to that but not much else. The food quality seemed like it would be best served out of a trough.
I realize this is not supposed to be the Ritz and therefore the 2 stars are given by Days Inn standards, not compared to a 5 star hotel.

I have always been satisfied with this motel. It’s not a resort but it’s reasonably priced, the free wifi has always worked fine for me, the rooms have been clean (though a bit run down) and the awning another commenter took a picture of after it got hit by one too many guests who didn’t know the height of their rigs gas been removed.
And I just called them hours before checkin and well after the cancellation date had passed and explained that I want to return home before the snow hit. They allowed me to cancel without any penalty. It was the right thing to do –but they were under no obligation to do it.
I will continue to use this place when I need a warm bed, a tv and computer access. As well as a friendly greeting!

I stayed here in Sept 2015 along with two buddies. The location was good. The staff was nice. The sign out front said all rooms remodeled? at the time we were there. The room we had was a bit dated. The bathroom was in better shape, I could tolerate that. What really got me was the next morning at breakfast downstairs in the lobby, it was very dirty, not well cared for and you had to ask to fill the coffee pot. The next morning at breakfast in the lobby, two homeless people walked right in pass the front desk and had breakfast. They were homeless I know that for a fact ! (nothing against them) They were touching everything and the people at the front desk did nothing. I pretty much had enough at that point. Oh yes, the Wi-​Fi actually worked.

It was a few months ago when we went to America (April) and staying in a few places in California and Oregon over a month, this place was dodgy as hell. It was smelly. Anyway we didn’t expect much. So while lying down i kept getting itchy/​scratched. I open the sheets and theres all little black hair in the bed. Terrible. We call the girl at the desk (she was so happy to be working) and she says they’ll change them over. 20 mins later she comes down and drops them in the floor and says just change them.
The tiles in the bathroom appeared new.

Bend prices are at a premium during summer. We were here for a funeral. We stayed 2 nights and did not sleep well on hard bed and lumpy pillows. Bed covers were scary. It was hot so we didn’t need them. Breakfast was meh. Good location for getting to downtown. Safeway is across the street and u can get Starbucks there. There is some construction going on in anther building. I hope they are gutting them an not just painting! Wifi didn’t work.

It wasn’t terrible but I would say you do get what you pay for.
The room was basically clean enough however the sheet did have a stain on it, We couldn’t tell if the sheets were clean but with just a stain we called to have new sheets put on. We were told that housekeeping had left so we would need to put them on ourselves. The service was friendly and prompt. The price was within our price range. The bed was comfortable.

Update: I left my work laptop, iPad, flash drives, the cords to my computer & iPad, the mouse, and my iPhone cord in the room. When I drove just inside of Sacramento, I noticed it was not with me. I freaked to say the least! My husband immediately called the hotel and the front desk. The girl at the desk made some calls to the head maid and informed the Manager, Kevin, of my missing items. I then activated my «lost» and «sound» mode on my items. About 7:30am, the following day, the front desk called to say that they found my items and Kevin would be on the phone shortly to arrange how to get them back to me. They arrived, safe and intact, to me today. I am SO grateful for such an honest staff and that honestly reflects on the manager, Kevin. Thanks to all the staff of this hotel! I will definitely stay here again and tell my friends to stay here!

Although the rooms are very dated, they do seem clean. Breakfast isn’t terrible (actually better than I thought it would be).
But the wi-​fi is THE WORST! Completely unusable. I’ve been able to go to Unilocal,type this review, read it over and edit it, and post it on my phone (with only 2 bars) while my laptop is still trying to load the page. I’m in town for work and I’m going to have to go to a Starbucks or something to get work done. It’s 2015!!! People need Internet access!
Would never, ever stay here agin.

This hotel was clean, spacious, and affordable with an unusually good breakfast. Kevin Foreman, General Manager, and his staff went out of their way to make sure the breakfast area was fully stocked at all times and guests had an enjoyable stay. I will be back. Enjoyed the location, wifi, hot tub.

Perfect location for the Bend Ale Trail, we were able to walk to so many places. Free parking, wifi, small exercise room, breakfast is really good. I saw a ton of people in the hot tub up until dark so that’s cool too! Close to Mt Bachelor as well. Our room was worth the price, king size bed with a refrigerator and microwave, plus coffee etc. I would stay here again.

I’m shocked this place only has 2 ½ stars. I’ve stayed at some pretty shady hotels with reviews like that, and this one is not on that level. I expected a mediocre stay for $ 70, and I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience.
All the employees were clean cut, professional, and genuinely friendly and helpful. The outdoor pool is clean and heated and has an adjoining hot tub with some of the most powerful jets I’ve ever seen. There’s also a nice grassy area with picnic tables and a BBQ.
The rooms are spacious with flat screen tv’s, refrigerator, ironing board, free wifi, and a microwave.
Probably the best part of the whole accommodation is the breakfast. Sometimes the continental breakfast isn’t even edible. The Bend Days Inn breakfast is incredible with cheese omelettes, sausage, home fries, cereal, coffee, juice, yogurt, assorted breads, oatmeal, and French toast. They keep it well stocked right up until the end too.
I definitely recommend this place if you’re on a budget. Less than a mile walk to downtown and pet friendly too!

It’s just a Days Inn, so don’t go getting all excited. But I have to say, it’s very clean and spacious and affordable. The room has a fridge and microwave and sofa and table – almost like a mini-​suite. They have a pool and a hot tub too (granted its sort of in the parking lot, so don’t go getting too romantic).
Complimentary breakfast was also much better than I expect at this price point. Instead of the gooey self-​serve waffle station and hard boiled eggs typical of economy motels, they had scrambled eggs, sausage, French toast, and some sort of tortilla wrapped thing-​a-​ma-​jigs with beans, rice and sausage in them.
For a cheap place to stay fairly close to downtown it’s hard to beat.

This could be an average 3 star rating hotel… Average for what you should expect as soon as you drive in.
The lobby is very dated, the canopy that you drive under is falling down and the walk to all the rooms is stained and dirty… so, OK it’s a motel you park your car right at your door… I didn’t expect much.
They claim in a large sign on the street that it is 100% smoke free… wrong!
The doors to all the rooms have a pretty no smoking sign on them…
But, the smokers stand right outside the door smoking.
Since the doors to the rooms are next to each other, all his/​her smoke goes right into your room.
When I left, I smelled like smoke in the car, even after taking a shower.
They do claim that there is free wi-​fi, but it is horrid. I was staying only a few doors down from the office, (and across from the pool… see below), and the wi-​fi was so slow, web pages kept timing out.
In this day and age, you would think a motel would have up-​to-​date internet access, especially in a tourist based town like bend.
Then, are there no rules for loud music outside?
A few guest in the pool had a radio blasting away, then a group of guest decided that they wanted to blast their truck music in front of their room to compete.
Even with the door closed, the two were so loud, it drowned out my TV.
The maids were very friendly and nice, and the girl at the desk early in the morning seem pleasant.
For the price $ 90 a night, you would expect a better place.

Old buildings and dirty rooms. There was even a hair ball stuck in one of the bathroom towels. The room was very dark also, maybe due to a large moving/​garbage container in the parking spots right outside. The entire view was blocked. To top it off, the WiFi was showing a couple bars but was so poor webpages wouldn’t even load. It would’ve been better if they had just said no internet available.
Very, very low quality. Only stay here if there is nothing else available.

Very friendly staff! We had some issues with our reservation, and the front desk attendant helped us get things resolved and gave us $$ off our bill.
Rooms are basic, what you would expect for $ 60/​night.
Very pet friendly! There is a large fenced area with poop bags-​like a miniature dog park (with the associated land mines). We will definitely stay here next time we need an inexpensive place in Bend.

Super nice and helpful staff, no smoke smell in the room, mini-​fridge, hairdryer, and the BIGGEST continental breakfast I have ever seen. I have stayed at a lot of cheap hotels and this was probably my favorite. I was pretty bummed the hot tub was closed for the winter though. Overall a great deal and I will be back.

If you stay with the mindset that this is an older cheaper motel you won’t be displeased. We had to run the AC all night to keep the hotel room cool. However it’s located near so much! We were within walking distance to Juniper park. We could walk across the street to Safeway or down the street a block to 7 – 11. It’s very near downtown. And Pilot butte drive in was just a few blocks away which was a great place to eat while we had our dogs with us. It’s inexpensive and dogs are allowed! I also found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The area can be a a bit dodgy in some places so I don’t know if its the best option if you want to walk around late at night. I would happily stay there with my dogs again. They also have a pool and hot tub which could be nice if you are traveling with children.

Stayed here for a business visit. Very close to my work event.
Desk clerk who checked me in was friendly and informative.
They offer hot breakfast ’til 10a– nice and late. Thanks. And soup from 6p-​8p, I’ve never seen that before. Cool. I didn’t get to have it, but still a sweet touch.
Room was efficient and just what I needed. Large fridge for my wine samples-​and the coffee in the room was excellent. Better than the coffee offered with the breakfast in the lobby.
I used the fitness center-​had a water machine and a TV.
I would stay here again. Too bad the pool was closed. Oh, it’s December.
Great rate $ 55
