I did not stay in the hotel (we stayed at the Mill Inn which I highly recommend) but I had a drink at the bar and later ate dinner here with my wife. In general the McMenamins establishments are pretty neat. They have artists and designers do them all, and they're really fun. Check out their website. The beer they... more

McMennamins is a great relaxing casual place where you can just hang out and enjoy yourself. They have a pub with dining on the sidewalk out front or in the courtyard or in a more secluded spot with outdoor fires. There is a great Turkish bath for soaking. They play two free movies and you can order food and beer... more

We stayed in the 'European Style' room (i.e. bathroom down the hall) and had a wonderful time. The movie theater as great and who knew you could make a beer float taste that good? While I am sure this would be a nice place with a family my only experience was with just my wife and me. more

McMenamins has a knack for doing renovations right and this is no exception...location, rooms, service, amenities, and restaurant are all excellent. The place to stay if vacationing in Bend. more

My husband and I drove all day Thanksgiving day and arrived at the St. Francis School at 6pm. We were wondering what kind of meal we would be able to scrounge on a holiday when most everything was closed, but the main pub was open until 1am. We had a wonderful dinner and my husband was happy to get the... more

I was really pleased with this place. McMENAMINS My boyfriend and I visited Bend in the summertime and decided to stay at St. Francis school because we frequent McMenamin's pubs at home in Portland. The McMenamin brothers restore old buildings and turn them into pubs, hotels, and theaters. They're are spread all over Oregon and Washington and are generally geared... more

What a unique experience. Staying in a refurbushed old school was great. Each room is named after someone who attended or was associated with the school. The room I sayed in was roomy, clean, and comfortable. The rate was no more than you'd pay at a Hampton Inn. Bathroom was a little small, not that didn't matter to me. The... more

I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. First, as a hotel it's fairly new, as it has only been converted from a school in the last few years, which means that the beds are comfortable and not saggy and the bathrooms are fairly new and the linens and towels are also in good condition. Second, the fact that it was... more

Our king room was terrific - large, woody, comfy chairs. And the food in the pub is fine, though the theming feels a bit heavy handed. The only problem was the Hammerhead Package - which really is no deal at all. You get a $60 allowance towards dinner and breakfast, and pay for what you spend above that, which is... more
