We recently visited this location and loved our room! We had a balcony over looking the river which was amazing! We shared a bottle of wine on the balcony, listened to the river, it felt like we had total privacy and we slept with the door open so we could listen to the river all night. The room was good sized, the house keepers did a good job of cleaning it while we were out, and everyone was really nice that we encountered. We will be back but without children next time so we can enjoy the workout room and do some relaxing! read more

My wife booked a room here for our anniversary. We paid extra to book a spa room with a fireplace and jacuzzi tub, then apon arrival they let us know the room was no longer available as it had been renovated in the two weeks since we had made the reservation. To their credit, they offered a smaller room, with no amenities - for more money. Bait-and-switch at its worst. On our anniversary, We had to scramble to find a decent room in town for that very night, a Friday. These details are not the concern of the Riverhouse, as they did not offer the basic courtesy of calling or even maybe...telling the truth about the room in the first place. Took about a half hour to sort the issue out in the lobby, meaning they refunded our money and we left. During that time my wife witnessed three other customers who had similar issues (one woman's room she had reserved was not available, another elderly couple was informed at arrival that the restaurant was closed for renovations also, and they'd be forced to drive through the night to find dinner - something they had hoped to avoid. Something that could have been resolved with minimal communication during the reservation.) We eventually found AMAZING accommodations at The Oxford downtown. The Oxford Rules. Riverhouse fell down hard and we'll never go back. The new management is a major downgrade. read more

I went in tonight with a heavy heart and sat at the bar...I was greeted with such sincerity from the bartender Jessica....She totally took care of me....Thank you so much Jessica for making the ending of my day nothing short of Amazing..Food...Beer and Service were Awesome....along with the Hospitality...Cheers! read more

The service was absolutely lovely. Though our observation was that they were a bit understaffed during this busy holiday week (July 4), the friendliness and kind service of everyone from start to finish (the waiter serving water, the restaurant manager, the front desk personnel) was very nice. We enjoyed the food and give a special shoutout to the restaurant manager Ben who both gave us a great table and took special interest in our satisfaction with all. read more

Renovations are nice, Definitely did an improvement but the food is nothing like it used to be. Small portions and extremely expensive.

Stopped and stayed on our way to see family. The room was clean and updated. Ordered room service and the food was incredible. Nice heated indoor pool and hot tub. Nice views. Only con was the heater/ac unit did not work well and we booked a river view and that us not what we got. Still I would stay here again. read more

For Bend this is a 5 walk-in shower with detachable head, fireplace with log and matches included, balcony, peaceful restaurant and rooms on the river with splashing current. People in Bend are nice. read more

We have been to this hotel a few times and the service has always been great. Yesterday they were outstanding as our reservations we had made on Priceline.com and somehow Priceline had lost them and the Riverhouse went above and beyond to take care of us and they matched the price we were quoted no questions asked. I can wait too come back and visit again. The rooms are always great and the river views and location is terrific. read more

If you were driving by it looks like a motel. No elevator. The inside is not so bad but the outside is awful. The room balcony and furniture was filthy. Went to the pool. The water was not at all clear. The deck was a pebble like material not good for bare feet. Not to mention it was dirty. Went to both the bar and restaurant. Bar ok. Service at restaurant very slow. While the room view of the river was great I'd have to say there are much nicer places to stay with great views. One night was plenty for us. Do yourself a favor and find another place. read more

We have stayed here before in winter and I wanted to try it again so we could enjoy sitting outdoors at the bar and on our room's balcony. The room is very comfortable and roomy. There's a sofa and sitting area. Extra towels are a plus. Dinner was overpriced and I won't eat here again. But the bar is a nice place for a drink and snack. Best is our room faces the river and we can leave the sliding doors open at night. read more

I have stayed here a couple of times prior and found this to be a good place. Rooms were very nice and clean. No complaints. However, I would avoid this place for a few months since there is major construction nearby. My days here started in the morning at 7am with rock pounding and trucks beeping that continued throughout the day. A friend in Bend said they aren't supposed to start any construction prior to 8am due to an ordinance but obviously it isn't being enforced. If you do stay here, I'd advise a room as far to the north end as possible. I'd look elsewhere for now but I'd go back once the noise quiets down. read more

I really wanted to like this hotel, based on the reviews people told me about and the photos on the website. Once upon a time I'm sure it was great, but now unfortunately it left a lot to be desired. Pros: River view was great from the bar and dining room. Im sure it will be gorgeous in summer. Cons: I was placed in the Bighorn property. It was a bit of a hike from the main lodge and the girl at the front desk couldn't explain how I could walk there. There was no sidewalk for me going there so I almost got hit a few times as cars barreled down the driveway. Bighorn has not been renovated so the walls are paper thin. The gentlemen in the room next to me had a call on speakerphone and I could hear every single word. He would cough and I could hear it. For the price and location, I expected better. The heater doesn't work too well, you can press the button as many times as you want. But only when you hear it beep, does it register. I made that mistake and woke up shivering. For work travelers who just need a place to lay their head, this might be ok. My suggestion, renovate a lot faster and provide a few more amenities. You are competing with the hotels downtown and with their walkability Id rather stay there. read more

Clean Hotel great pool and hot tub! Room was nice it did snow hard they could manage the snow and Ice on the property a little better.

Bang for buck! This place was awesome!! We were upgraded to a river suite and if i had my fishing pole i could have fished from the couch. Dont get me wrong its not the 4 seasons or Mondrian but its got character and well worth the $120 a night. read more

Just attended a conference there and wanted to yelp out loud about the amazing, spacious convention center adjacent to the actual hotel. It was so convenient to be able to stay within a few minutes walking distance from the all-room inclusive Convention center. This is truly an amazing location for a large meeting, overlooking the gorgeous Deschutes. Meals for 450+ people went off without a hitch, even the buffet line..... The rooms are spacious, clean and affordably priced, although in need of a few updates, which are coming. The hotel is quite a bit older than the new convention center. Our room even had a small kitchenette, great for families traveling to bend in the summer or extended stay business guests. Plus, there is a comp hot breakfast with plenty of bacon and fresh fruit. Usually hotels skimp on these two items, but not here. There is an on-site bar and restaurant, too. Last but not least, I enjoyed being able to soak in the spa after my workout in the fitness center. Why is it that I am always alone on the treadmill? Looking forward to the large outdoor pool this summer. and their upgrades. read more

Great room with its own fireplace and jacuzzi hot tub. One of the best shish kabob steak skewers ever, and complimentary drink tickets upon arrival. Highly recommend. read more

I found a deal on Hotwire where you book the room for a cheaper rate and then it tells you where you are staying. It told us we were staying at the Riverhouse On The Deschutes. After looking it up it seemed promising and in a good location. We chose a king bed and a pet friendly room. I called to make sure it was a pet friendly room and they confirmed and also said we would have a river view. They told us to call the day of to see if we could get an early check in. We called an hour before arriving and the room wasn't ready so we decided to just go there when we got into town and check again. When we arrived we did the pre-checkin stuff but they didn't know when the room would be ready and it could be " a couple hours". We were tired so we decided to just get some food and then wait for the call. Literally 15 minutes after we left we got a call that the room was ready. This annoyed me only because we were just there and how was there no way they could check if the room was almost ready? It's not that big of a place. They could have checked with the housekeeper or just walked right over and looked. It wasn't a huge deal just annoying was all. They also charge $25 per pet per night which is a very steep pet fee. It should just be a one time pet fee! The room itself was clean but what do you know, we got a view of the parking lot and not the river like I was told. They had HBO which was cool but other than that it was a pretty standard room with a parking lot right outside the sliding glass window so we heard people leaving really early in the morning. I probably won't choose this place unless I get a great deal again. read more

I love this place. Great rooms that are clean and modern. Two sinks in our room. Breakfast buffet is huge and delicious. Very large hotel but my favorite so far on my 2 week vacation. Great view of the river behind the room. read more

When we needed a hotel for a one night stay on a road trip that took us thru Bend, OR, the Riverhouse Hotel answered. While the original $99/night deal that I found online was sold out by the time I tried to book my room about 3 minutes later, the $150/night I wound up paying wasn't bad for what was offered. We arrived in the late afternoon and our river view room was ready as soon as we arrived. Our room was clean and spacious with a king bed, love seat, and chairs -- plenty of room for my wife and I to have our own space after spending all day together in the car! The view from our balcony was a nice view of the river (not sure which one, but it runs right between the two major buildings of the hotel) and the constant babbling of the water made it pleasant to take in some fresh air. Of course, the sliding balcony door completely eliminated any watery sounds once closed. The gym onside was functional, but basic and dated. Sufficient for keeping up your routine for a few nights, but nothing exceptional. Mostly machines - not a lot of equipment for functional fitness or Crossfit (kettlebells, pull up bar, etc). We didn't try the onsite restaurant, as the prices were more than we wanted to pay that night (25+ for an entree). Hotel staff that we interacted with were pleasant and took care of our requests promptly. Overall, our stay was pleasant, clean, and free of any problems. the Riverhouse Hotel seemed well worth the price. When we later spoke with one of Bend's finest from the Bend Police Department, he confirmed the Riverhouse Hotel is in a part of town worth staying in. That's always nice to hear. read more

Trying to understand the point of door man, he didn't open the car doors! I mean I can open the doors myself but, if you are paying a door man he should offer full service... Also can we work a little bit on the attire... Coat w cargo pants uhhmmm not a good look. I think the hotel it's confused in its identity... read more

We enjoyed the two nights we spent here! We got a second floor room overlooking the river. Our first night there were no king rooms available so we stayed in a double queen room, however they were able to move us to a king room for our second night. The rooms are well stocked with coffee and tea selections, the beds are comfy and the pillows are abundant and cloud-like. Both rooms had a balcony with a view of the Deschutes river (beautiful!) where we could sit outside and relax. Our king room had a fire place, and though we didn't use it, it was a nice touch. If we stayed here in winter we absolutely would use it. They have 2 pools & 2 jacuzzis here, 1 indoor & 1 outdoor. The indoor jacuzzi was out of order unfortunately but the other was working. We didn't get to use it as it was occupied by a large family with small children, but it looked nice to use for a cool September afternoon. I enjoyed using the fitness center, it's the biggest I've seen in a hotel. Several treadmills and elliptical, and enough weight machines and cables (with attachments!) to get a full body workout. Even had medicine balls and balance balls. Boyfriend went to happy hour while I went to the gym; the outdoor seating on the river was beautiful but the service was extremely slow (20 minutes to get a drink, another 20 for just an order of calamari). Rooms were spotless clean, lots of charging ports for electronics, and two convenient bathroom sinks. On our last night we had a minor maintenance issue (old toilet valve disintegrated) that needed attending but they had the maintenance guy up to our room within 5 minutes of when we called and the issue was fixed by the time we came back from dinner. Staff here were all very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We'll stay here again next time we visit Bend! read more

This is a wonderful place for a good price! Rooms are comfortable, spacious and clean. Service was friendly and accommodating. The location right along the Deschutes River makes for a gorgeous setting. We stayed there as a ski trip to Mount Bachelor and this hotel's vicinity to both Bend's attractions and the ski resort is perfect. The complementary breakfast buffet also did not disappoint. Lots of variety and lots of food - my only recommendation is to come early so you can find a table to eat along the river. The hubby and I really enjoyed the stay! read more

We stayed for two months. The staff was friendly and always accommodating. The wi-fi was great and had a steady connection the whole time. Not once did it go down. The glasses in the rooms were well sanitized with plastic above them causing a nice vacuum from the heat wash. Apparently many hotels don't clean glasses well; this is not one of them. No strange smells others have complained about. We were in multiple rooms during our stay. Modern updated TV's with HDMI where we were able to connect our Chromecast to watch our own shows. Great. Yelp has a separate review on the restaurant, so this is not a place to review that IMO so I won't although the staff there are very friendly too. The pool could be better and it's weird to be a big glass house. Condensation results in dripping of water during cold season. The breakfast is fairly similar every day, but has a fair selection so you can rotate. After two months it did get tedious though. The things rotated are: pancakes, waffles, french toast, or some other less frequent dishes. They always have sausages or bacon, scrambled eggs, cereal (granola and yoghurt too), bagels, toast and fresh fruit (pinapple, honeydew and cantaloupe. They have juices for drink (apple, orange and cranberry) as well as milk. We enjoyed our stay. read more

Great stay. Wonderful setting. Amazing service and second to none complimentary breakfast.

I research for hours before I book a hotel. I believe the only reason this hotel is listed currently as 16th is because past reviews were written before all the massive renovations took place. First of all when I called the Hilton related hotels in the area the phone rang and sent me to a recording where I was then on hold for 5 minutes before I talked to a person on the line both times who I could not even understand because of the heavy accent. Then when one hotel was not available he found another one and before I even said I was interested (because I hadn't done my review research) he was pressuring me into a reservation at their sister hotel. ENOUGH about huge corporate hotel chains, nothing was as REFRESHING as calling the Riverhouse Hotel and speaking the first time to the front desk who spoke english. They had a suite available with River View #2-222. Although, construction and renovations are taking place all around the property, the upgrades are all for us! Walking into Building 2 you can tell it was just fully remodeled and updated. It looked and smelled like a brand new building. Walking into our room we were astounded by the massive size of the living room. Large dining room table seating 6, couches and chairs, microwave, Keuirg coffee maker with coffee, teas and half&half, refrigerator, TV, HUGE porch that overlooks the river. Separate bedroom with 2 nice quality queensize beds, closet and TV. My only gripe about the whole room is even though the white window treatments in the bedroom are gorgeous, they are see-through and do nothing to darken the room in the morning, which is a massive bummer when you are going away on a vacation. I was almost ready to sleep in the front room hide-a-bed with my daughter this morning but the comfort level did not entice me. (The curtains have a room darkening panel) We have never been in a room where we had to take the plastic off of the hide-a-bed mattress because we were the first ones to use it. Finally, no fear of bedbugs because this place was new and spotless! The view and sound of the river is relaxing and beautiful. Bathroom is huge with a lovely shower. Since the restaurant on site is going through a total remodel there is a free hot continental breakfast in their gorgeous convention center building just across the path. Every building looks like it is under a full remodel. SPOIL ALERT!! In the last 13 years of acting as family travel agent I have never found a hotel with TWO HUGE POOLS and Hot Tubs. One inside and one outside. The outside pool goes down to 6ft which is hard to find in hotel pools. Tons of nice lounge chairs surrounding. The inside hot tub is huge and curves around to fit at least 12-16 people. We were absolutely blown away at the huge open feeling building of the inside pool, not the stuffy little room as some places have. Reminded me much of Skamania Lodge, in Stevens Washington. You can even open up some of the solid glass doors to bring the outside in. My kids, husband and I never want to go anywhere else in this part of Oregon. It was NOT A HOTEL it was a RESORT with all the amenities! Check it out, how often can you stay in a spanking new resort! Classic-Southern Oregon Outdoor Charm! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! read more

Really enjoyed all aspects of this facility. Room was clean and nice, fantastic & comfortable King bed, nice shower and bathroom. VERY QUIET, which is HUGE for us. They have beautifully-situated eating and bar areas that overlook the river, with overhead heaters and music playing, all carved into the foliage/riverbank landscaping. Room service was very quick and food quality was good. All of the staff were very good to us. If you want to spring extra for a higher rate, the backside rooms have balconies that overlook the Deschutes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Great renovation they did in this place! Our room was a reasonable price, very clean and well maintained . I had been here with my parents as a child but now coming back as an adult I am extremely impressed!! Chorizo flatbread form the bar is hot as hell...beware. Over all definitely recommend! read more

Riverhouse has always been one of my favorite places to stay in Bend and I stay there multiple times a year. Upon this last visit I accidentally left a pair of Ugg boots in my room. I noticed I had missed them once I got home and unpacked. I immediately called to see if they could hold my boots until I return next month. The staff was rude when I called and they mysteriously do not have the boots that were left in the room. I will no longer be staying at the Riverhouse, which makes me really sad because it is a beautiful facility. read more

My family of 4 stayed in one of the river view suites, and it was perfect. Very clean, nice amenities, and the river view was beautiful. The room service server was charming, housekeepers helpful, parking convenient, and my kids loved the pool. We spoke highly of this hotel to local family and suggested that they use it as go-to for out of town guests. We will recommend and be back. read more

Had the best lunch outside on the patio overlooking the Deschutes River. The spring pea shoot risotto was fresh and delicious. Paired with my favorite roses from Stoller Family Vineyards. Mike our server was great. Way to go guys we will be back ALOT this spring/summer. read more

Stayed here with my mom and my baby just for one night for a work trip. Prices are very reasonable and the rooms are old but clean. The bed was comfortable and there was a microwave and mini fridge in the room. The breakfast was very good and included fresh fruit, waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, pastries.....there was also juice and coffee. The only downside was the heater/ac in the room...every time it turned on we woke up since it was so loud. read more

Nice room in a big hotel bisected by a lovely river. We needed to do laundry after 8 days on the road. There are no change machines anywhere. "Come to the front desk," they told me, "we have change." I crossed the river and found myself in a cold, windy parking lot. No sign anywhere that said office, reception etc. I never did find it, ending up instead wandering around a closed outdoor eating area. Very frustrating! The ice machine didn't work. The patio door could barely be shoved open. We had to call the desk 3 times to figure out the TV (stand directly in front and aim sharply). Breakfast was served in yet another building. Take your walking shoes. Maybe it was just me, but I found this place to be annoying despite its lovely setting and pet friendly policy. read more

My family has stayed here regularly for years. It's not flash but it's been a reliable stalwart for our anniversaries and other get-togethers as its a great location at a moderate price. They have everything in terms of facilities. Well, they USED to have everything. The ownership change recently gave us cause for excitement - we were looking forward to a refresh of the pool (cross fingers) and maybe some fresh paint around the place. But a key draw for us has gone - the tennis courts!!! Omg what a problem. I admit it was a bit odd to have to walk through a residential neighborhood to use the shared facility but it was ALWAYS available and having two together was great for family laughs and competition. Funny how such a little thing can tip the balance. Oh well, time for a change after all these years and there's a ton of places in Bend to try. read more

When we arrived in Bend we needed a quiet place to stay on the river. We found the Riverhouse hotel which was recently renovated and looked very nice. A problem we had was with the staff. They were not welcoming at all except Raul who helped us after a young lady neglected to keep us posted about our room, which wasn't ready even though check in time was 4:00 pm. We waited for an hour and even payed an upgraded price so we could get in and rest. It was a big buzz kill. Breakfast was average for the price we paid. I hope they improve in guest services. read more

There were high hopes for this place that we would actually get a riverside reservation since we had an advanced reservation. Waiting for the line to go down (arrived at 4 pm and apparently a convention just let out) we had a drink at the bar, which was very nice.A guy I was talking to at the bar said there were washing machines/dryers next to the gym- perfect. Our room was on the ground floor facing the parking lot. We found out the laundry room did not have working machines for the soap and waited 10 minutes for the housecleaners to bring us some. When they didn't show up I went back to the front desk and they gave me some soap, and I also got change for the machine. The machine was across the river so not far but had to go outside to access it and it was a little chilly (Oregon sure has diverse weather!). Anyway we ordered room service- which was described as plank steak asparagus mashed potatoes and for 26 bucks seemed like a a fair price. What we got was a cardboard box with all items pilled on top and plastic fork/knives. When I called them about this, they said though the presentation would have been nicer in the resty, the "piled on top" items were intended. I was a bit disappointed. Besides that it was a nice place and if I could guarantee a room on the river I would definitely recommend read more

We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were modern, clean and inviting. The staff was very welcoming and nice. The only negative was the the room was a little chilly and we couldn't figure out the thermostat to get it warmer. We had it set to heat and 75 but it was like the room had max set by the hotel to prevent guests from cranking up the heat. If it wasn't for that small thing, this room would have easily been rated five stars. read more

Loved the room, clean and updated. The bar area was nice. Drinks were good. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. Oatmeal was a glob. Sausage was very salty. No lattes just strong black coffee. We will stay here again but eat somewhere else. read more

We were looking for a staycation as we live in Bend. My husband booked the Riverhouse and then I looked at reviews. I told him about the reviews and we were nervous. My husband called ahead to check on our reservation because we had made it online through a third party site, and we wanted to make sure everything was fine. The lady who answered the phone was SO rude to my husband that he promptly cancelled and we booked at another hotel in Bend. Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere. read more

We were traveling through Bend with dog needing a room to sleep around 11 pm. Pulled into the Riverhouse and was so pleased with the surprise we found. Not only would they allow my Boxer, Molly, they provided a room which opened to the river where all in the family took wonderful walks. My jaw hit the floor when the room fee was so reasonable. We liked the room and bed and will never forget how friendly the girl at the desk was. read more

The rooms are lovely, newly renovated, clean and quiet. Hard to beat this hotel being on the River and dog friendly. We will be coming back.
