Each room includes a private bathroom. Optional amenities include patios, suites and kitchenettes. Each of the 17 guestrooms in the original building pays tribute to the school's legacy, while the 24 guestrooms in the Art House celebrate the work of McMenamins artists. Inside the Art and Ed Houses, guests can find secret hallways, secret rooms and a secret bar. The soaking pool area features custom-made light fixtures and tile mosaics.

The Old St Francis Pub provides pub fare and handcrafted beer from the on-site brewery. The Bend brewpub offers handcrafted ales brewed right downstairs. The full-service bar offers McMenamins handcrafted ales, wines, and spirits. The Old St Francis Theater has a full menu, plus pizza, snacks, and popcorn. O'Kanes also features Shed specialty menus exclusively for Whiskey Club members. Seasonal limited-edition beer tastings, dubbed O'Kanes Garage Series, are held in O'Kanes Pub on the fourth Friday of varied months, featuring different unique beers of the past, created by other McMenamins Brewers. In the afternoons, there are classic cocktails, with an emphasis on a greater selection of whiskey, scotch and Port.

“I find it fascinating how a former school now reimagines itself as a boutique hotel, full of community spirit, offering handcrafted ales right where classrooms once stood. The integration of local art and a unique theater space shows a clear commitment to culture. It's a family-friendly base to explore the nearby outdoor activities, with a special touch for pet owners.”
