We returned to Eagle Crest on an Interval International exchange using our Kona Coast Resort unit…read more Eagle Crest is a large project and it's a little confusing about which projects are managed by what company, so I am specifically reviewing the Worldmark Resort property and should not be applied to any other hotels or resorts at Eagle Crest. We have stayed at several Worldmark properties in the past, and this is our definite favorite. First off we were able to fly directly into Redmond from SFO, avoiding a two drive from Portland as that's how we came last time. The airport is small but that's a plus as far as we were concerned, and our Costco rental car from Budget was fine. Our check in was easy and Kiyah was a great rep for Worldmark. We got a text from her a few minutes after we were in the unit asking how things were, and that was a nice touch. The 2 bedroom 2 bath unit was perfect. We own two vacation rentals and live in Kona and are appreciative of a job well done. Everything was immaculate, and it seemed like it had been recently updated. I had called the week before, asking for a unit on the Deschutes river side, and we happily had an end unit with a great view. The gal I spoke with was friendly and let me know that checkin had moved so I had a google map address which made it easy to find. The kitchen had everything one could ask for and more. The dishwasher was the only appliance that needs retirement lol. The bedroom with attached bath and a work desk was excellent. It was relaxing to take a long hot bath in a huge tub after a long flight. We used the Weber grill on the patio three times during the week we were there. The Sisters meat market in Redmond is well worth a visit. One word of warning for people that have problems with stairs: this is a multi floor unit. You enter at one level and go down a flight of stairs to the living room and kitchen and one bedroom with two twins. From the entry you go up a flight to the main bedroom with huge bath/shower and king bed. So there are lots of stairs if you are going up and down from the living room (which is so cozy with the gas fireplace) up to the main bedroom. I'd find someplace else that had less stairs if that's a criteria. I'm typing this as I use the fast 500 mbps (ookala speedtest) internet and we are streaming from our ipad all of our regular addictions. My one complaint, and it is a major one, is the horrible cheap mattresses. There were far too firm, and terrible for both of our backs, resulting in back and neck aches. Perhaps they'd sourced them from a cheap manufacturer, but saving money on mattresses is foolish especially these days when you are judged on how comfortable a nights sleep is. We managed to survive by taking the comforters from the twins and placing them across the king mattress where our hips and shoulders were aching and then got a couple more blankets from housekeeping. It helped, but not enough. We fortunately were staying in an airbnb the following week with a fantastic mattress and the contrast was stunning. I complained about this on our last visit, hopefully with the management change that happened in the summer they will allocate funds to refresh a crucial part of the guest experience, a restful nights sleep. Again, this is a Worldmark exchange and should not be confused with any other property at Eagle Crest. Interval International exchanges have different rules and costs and things like internet access are included. Your experience without being an II member or Worldmark owner may be very different. We exchanged a week in a beautiful timeshare in Kona to stay here and were quite happy. For us, this is one of our favorites and we will definitely be back. Mahalo.

This hotel is beautiful, warm, and inviting. Definitely felt like home away from home. The room we…read morestayed in was very clean and beautiful. Our bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows were so soft! The staff were very nice and accommodating. Pool and hot tub area were always clean and stocked with fluffy towels. I think the only thing that could have been better would be the options at their little restaurant. Everything else was great!

This is a lovely place to stay in Bend. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the service was…read moreexcellent and helped me with several requests I had, and the lobby area was very welcoming. It's close to everything in downtown. I also want to mention how much I appreciate the blackout curtains in the rooms because we had stayed at another hotel the night before where they didn't have blackout curtains and it was miserable. I was very happy about how well I slept here.

This was OK for a motel. Our room wasn't dirty. It was weirdly designed, though. There was a rack…read moreto hang clothes on, ON the wall next to the bathroom door... but the rack was in the walk way of one side of the bed. I took that side, since I'm a munchkin: didn't have to worry about hitting my skull on it. There wasn't a coffee maker in the room which was really weird, slightly annoying. Having the option would have been nice but oh well, 6$ Starbucks it is! Our bathtub wouldn't drain. Well, it did, but it took FOREVER. Who knows how many people and how many years worth of hair was built up in that drain. Me and my man had to stand in a pool of our own soapy/dirty water mess. Grody. In the bathroom we got two little bars of soap, a lotion and a conditioner. No shampoo. Wtf? Luckily I hoard hotel shampoos and conditioners, so I already had some. The A/C was the jankiest thing I have ever seen. It looked like they sawed a hole through the wall that wasn't really the right size for it... and it was apparent. It was also SO LOUD. The curtains wouldn't open how I wanted them to open, and I wanted to open the window to get some fresh air but it took both of us to scoot it open it was so stuck. Was an OK deal, I guess... we both slept alright. So did the dog, lol. More comfortable than the last motel I stayed in, for sure.

The fairly tasty prepared hot breakfast was a bonus; it was served in a large well- lit room (part of the lobby), with good coffee on tap, roomy seating and lots of food options --- yogurt, muffins, tea and other add ons for the taking. Props to the pool area as well -- spacious, clean, lots of towels and a pretty solid hot tub. The gym is full size too, stocks a good selection of machines, treadmills and weights, so that's another plus. Gotta say, though the hotel offers free bikes to take out, they are absolute crap; the brakes are atrocious, gears are sketchy and one had a flat. It's a nice perk, but proceed with caution. But overall, the Element is clean and up to date, with lots of parking on-site (though it costs extra), and a pretty good location within a somewhat reasonable walking distance to downtown. To my mind, all good things.

I've stayed 5 times here. Coed dorm (2 times) female dorm in the annex, and a private room (2…read moretimes). Each stay was its own unique experience. I love the bunk+brew but this time it wasn't one the best stays. I wonder what has changed recently? I hope to stay again so I'm calling forward some of the bigger things that made this experience different than others. The general spaces felt dirty. Not how I would ever welcome guests into my own home. A few examples; I went around and put dirty dishes left out by others throughout the night in the sink. The outside bathroom was out of toilet paper with no restock available. Seeing as the bathroom trash had been left overflowing for the 2 days I was there I took it upon myself to bring 2 rolls of toilet paper out there so others didn't have to encounter that same dilemma. I went to bed around 11:30 and left my food that I purchased from the food cart in the fridge. IT WAS STOLEN! I couldn't believe it even after writing my name and a date on it. I've never had that experience before. One thing that I felt was really not aligned with bunk+brew was a conversation I overheard between staff. They said " I don't like gay people". This made me feel really yucky hearing such outright homophobia that I had to excuse myself from that space. I know change isn't possible if the issues are not addressed. Bunk+brew has been a safe place in the past for me while out traveling. I hope others can feel that way.

It's not the worst hostel, definitely not the best. Everything is old and run down.

The bath house was broken too, so lines for shower were awful. The rooms themselves were pretty clean.. my room had a total of 6 beds (bunks). Rooms stayed surprisingly cold during the heat wave so thankful for that! Hostels are supposed to be cheap since you're bunking with randos but it really wasn't cheap.. it was a bit more expensive than a motel.
