Every couple of years, I take my daughter to Bend to do a few days of mountain biking. We try to to this on a budget, so I'm always looking for a good place to stay for under $200 a night. When I ran across LOGE on Expedia, I was intrigued by the reviews and by the ability to leave our room and immediately jump on our bikes and hit the trails.
So, first of all, the staff was outstanding. Check in was great. The staff gave us the rundown on the free bikes available for use and the rental bikes. We were a little early and our room was not ready yet, but they welcomed us to use the bathroom in the lobby to change into our biking gear and to park the rig there while we took our first ride.
The room was nothing really fancy, but it was clean, nicely renovated, and very comfortable. The bed was nice and my daughter slept great on the sofa bed. Being able to pull our bikes off the rack and bring them into the room with us is a must when you're traveling with expensive bikes. The bike hangers in the room were a very nice touch, allowing us to secure our bikes but also have them out of the way.
Being that this trip was all about biking, I loved the bike maintenance area, complete with a bike washing station. It was nice to be able to wash the dust off the bikes before hanging them in the room.
The outdoor areas were great. We didn't get to wander around much or use the amenities, but just being able to relax in deck chairs in the sun after a long day of riding (and of course with some great beer from any one of Bend's stellar breweries) in a nice grassy area was a plus.
The ONLY issue we had is that we lost the hot water in our room on the last day of our stay. Maintenance was not able to fix the issue so that we could shower after our final ride. The staff was great, though, and gave us access to the showers in the hostel area, which was just a short walk from our room.
Overall, if you aren't looking for high end luxury, you can't beat this place!
