Waypoint Hotel

Great place to stay with your fur kid!! Thank you

Above and beyond! This hotel makes you just wanna stay here and have your vacation. It is centrally located to everything you might want to do in Bend. Cara made our check in seamless and magical with the extra touches of hospitality. Eric and Jake did not disappoint either as shift changes throughout the evening. Several times we enjoyed our time in front of the fireplace relaxing in the lobby. connected to their lobby is a great selection of beer and wine where you can kick it and watch current sporting events and play games with your family. Multiple outside seating around gas fireplaces. Can accommodate any size gathering. Didn’t have a chance to check out the pool, but will do the next time. Diverse food opportunities with a Smash Burger food truck right outside the lobby or breakfast lunch and dinner served at Black Bear diner. Within minutes you can be to walking through wonderful shops, breathtaking views, and hikes, or just simply kick it at one of the local breweries. Bonus: you don’t have to rush out in the morning check out is at noon!

The property is fine. While the rooms and hotel were recently renovated, some of the areas were not, or at least appear that way. The grout and caulking in the shower were certainly not recent updates as they were worn, with some mold growing in the cracks. The room had been updated and the TV, shelving, hanger rack was interesting - not conventional but very functional. Our room was not ready when we arrived at 4PM (standard check-in time) so we opted for a "lesser" room that was ready - we had an event to get to, and didn't have 45-60 minutes that housekeeping needed. Another couple was in a similar situation waiting for a first floor room to get cleaned. The kid behind the counter, while well intentioned and polite, seemed overwhelmed by two couples needing a quick modification. He even remarked something to the effect of "I can't do anything with everyone talking at once", after I had accepted a smaller room that was ready. and the other couple asked if there was something like that that they could do as well. He should never apply to work a flight counter at the airport! Overall, it was fine. Good location, easy access, ample parking, nice enough - nothing lavish, decent value. I will look for another option when next in Bend, but might come back if nothing better materializes.

I have visited Bend, Oregon before. Both times it has served as a pit stop for longer travels. This particular plaza is attractive because of it neighboring Black Bear diner, a favorite breakfast eatery of mine, and it’s just a small block away from the Blockbuster video store, which is fun just to show friends and family who haven’t seen it. The hotel itself is very clean and upscale without being over-the-top. The staff is incredibly friendly. I’ve stayed at other hotels that cost more but have no character. I’ll reserve this place whenever I find myself heading that way again.
