ELEMENT BY MARRIOTT BEND, Bend

Situated directly across from Drake Park along the Deschutes River, the hotel offers immediate access to walking and cycling paths. The heart of downtown Bend, with its dining, breweries, and boutiques, is a short 10-minute stroll south. Redmond Municipal Airport is 25 km away. Highway access is convenient, though the immediate area is undergoing construction. The free loaner bikes make it easy to explore the river corridor and reach downtown without a car. Parking is paid and reservation-based, making transit and bikes practical alternatives.

Accommodation ranges from double rooms with one or two beds to large multi-bedroom suites. All rooms include air conditioning, a work desk, seating area, flat-screen TV with streaming services, and a kitchenette equipped with a stovetop, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, cookware, and tea/coffee maker. Bathrooms feature walk-in showers with free toiletries and hairdryers; some double rooms also include a bathtub. Ceilings are high, and rooms feel spacious. Some connecting doors can transmit noise from adjacent rooms. Road-facing rooms may experience highway noise; requesting an interior or courtyard-side room is advisable. The main light switch controls all room lights, so a bedside reading lamp may be needed.

The daily included breakfast features a rotating hot dish (e.g., açaí crepes, egg soufflé bites with chicken sausage, sweet potato and kale bowls) prepared fresh by a chef, plus a cold buffet with fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, pastries, bagels, and cereal. Vegan and vegetarian options are available. The hot item service requires ordering and a short wait. Fruit and filtered water are available in the lobby 24/7. Weekday happy hour (Monday-Friday, 5:00-6:30 PM) offers complimentary beer, wine, and snacks. A small market in the lobby sells snacks and beverages. There is no on-site bar or restaurant for evening hot meals outside breakfast.

The indoor swimming pool is heated and open year-round from 08:00 to 22:00, with pool towels provided. The hot tub is within the pool area and shares its operating hours. Current pool capacity may be limited to 50% occupancy. The fitness centre is spacious and includes a gym with modern equipment and a separate hot tub/jacuzzi. Outside, the courtyard features an outdoor fireplace, fire pit, free s'mores on offer, and ample seating. Free loaner bicycles are available, and the hotel also provides board games and kids' outdoor play equipment.

Wi-Fi is free in all rooms. The front desk is staffed 24 hours, and private check-in/check-out is available. Luggage storage is free. The business centre includes fax/photocopying and meeting/banquet facilities available for an additional charge. Daily housekeeping is included; laundry is available for a fee. The property has a lift, is wheelchair accessible with Braille and tactile signage, and offers accessible parking. Pets are allowed (one-time $50 + tax, two per room) but cannot be left alone. Safety features include fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and in-room safety deposit boxes. Free EV charging stations are located in the parking lot.
