Cascade Lodge is a really great value. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and a good location make Cascade a great value for visiting Bend. We've stayed twice and have enjoyed our stay both times. It's not far from the Old Mill District and downtown, but doesn't suffer the issues of being in those districts. There's great food options (Phô Viet, Don Gabino's) nearby grocery stores, and coffee a block away. For an off-the-main-path, affordable, clean and friendly experience, go with this place.
