Element Bend

Offers a lot for an...

Liked: Great spacious room for 4 (including 2 teenagers). Really comfortable. Awesome breakfast. Nice pool and hot tub. Inviting outdoor space with fire pit. Enjoyable happy hour in the evening. I have to call out the front desk staff - they were incredibly nice and helpful.
Disliked: We’d hope to use the pullout bed but it was not comfortable (not well padded and you could feel the springs) so our teens had to share the queen bed. Also the pullout bed out bed had dome debris from previous guests in it).

Lovely. Nicely laid out for...

Liked: Bright facility. Room was fine for 2 people. The shower and bathroom were very usable (even if the shower drain clogged too easily). Plenty of closet space. A no-nonsense desk.... Nice!
Disliked: The breakfast -- I wasn't a fan. A complete rethink of the layout, how people flow through the space, and the disappointing food selection is necessary. The "made to order" muffin idea needs a rethink as well. Many, many carbs... The only protein were fruit and yogurt. Vegan options were....raw fruit...only.The noise from the courtyard. More proactive and strict quiet hours signage and enforcement is needed. The echo from the laughing and shenanigans down below from the courtyard after 10pm wasn't welcome.These are all solvable problems with a little bit of effort, so I would like to try this location again later down the road.

Love Elementary hotels. Stylish, clean,...

Liked: Healthy and fresh! Excellent!
Disliked: We only stayed two nights but our room never got cleaned. I ended up asking the cleaning gals for some towels.

My annual trip to Bend...

Liked: I love this place -- perfectly located, comfortable, great breakfast and afternoon refreshments. The rooms are so nice. The staff is very friendly.
Disliked: The hotel has washer/dryers. They are coin op, and in order to get quarters, you have to have cash to exchange. I wanted to put it on my hotel bill, and I had no cash. Not possible. You know, a really nice perc would be if a guest is staying two or more nights, let them have a free wash/dry - or eliminate the coin op part of it altogether. What are the odds someone is going to bring tons of laundry and abuse the perc? Other issue - no spare roll of toilet paper in the room, which I noticed one evening, and I was getting low. I called to the desk and was told I could come to the desk to get a roll of toilet paper. I said I needed them to bring it to my room as I was ready for bed. I think it would be kind of customary for a guest to call the front desk for necessities and those would be delivered to the room as a matter of course. Last -- breakfast bus tubs were overflowing quite a while before breakfast service was over. These are fussy observations, I realize, but I love this place so much, I want it to not miss a trick!
