The Royal Gateway Motel by OYO will make your stay in Bend, Oregon one to remember. Our hotel is well-equipped with a variety of amenities like parking facility, security and card payment.
I’ve been staying at the Royal Gateway Motel in Bend regularly during my trips for medical appointments, and overall, it’s been a positive experience. This motel is an excellent option for budget-conscious travelers. While it’s not a luxury stay, it provides all the basics you’d need, much like a Motel 6. The location is highly convenient. It’s close to grocery stores and fast food restaurants and offers easy access to Hwy 97. Whether you’re heading to St. Charles Medical Center (just 15 minutes away) or exploring the Old Mill District (about 10 minutes away), the motel’s location makes it a practical base. Despite being situated on a busy 4-lane road, I’ve found the rooms to be surprisingly quiet, which is a huge plus. As a single senior female frequently traveling alone, I’ve always felt perfectly safe staying here. The managers are a standout feature of this motel—extremely hospitable and eager to assist with any needs or questions. However, I strongly recommend booking directly with the motel rather than using the OYO app. The management has no control over reservations made through OYO, and I’ve had a frustrating experience with the app, including a double booking, rude customer service, and only a partial refund. While I have also used Booking.com, I’ve found that calling the front desk directly has consistently provided me with the best rates and service. I believe the Royal Gateway Motel is a great choice for those seeking an affordable, quiet, and comfortable place to stay in Central Oregon. While it’s not fancy, it delivers on the basics, and the warm, helpful management makes a big difference. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to stretch their travel budget while enjoying a convenient location.
This place is excellent to stay. I just spent here the majority of the week and I found it very cozy. It is tiny but simple. My goal was to stay for six nights for work purposes and found this tiny room the perfect deal for the price. The manager is a super nice guy and great location. Bathrooms are larger than expected. They even clean your room everyday it was nice. I would stay here again.
