The Oxford Hotel Bend
The room was big and the bathroom was really big! The amenities were great - soaps, shampoos and the oversized tub was luxurious. The blackout curtains did their magic and we slept great. Can’t wait to stay again (which we will in March!)

Campfire Hotel
While the walls are really paper thin and the beds modest, the whole vibe of the place from the staff to the theme to the fire pit, hot tub and hot pool and good location really made this a super fun experience. Congratulations to the team there. Will stay again.
