Hotels near South Bend, WA

“My family is from this area and I’m SO glad I have this place to stay at when I need to come to visit. Clean, spacious rooms with a kitchenette complete with cookware and everything you need to clean up, too. There are some good restaurants in the area, but they’re not always open late on weekdays, so it’s nice to have the option to cook. Walking distance to the grocery store, pharmacy, tavern, post office & coffee shop. They offer ash trays if you want to smoke weed outside. Cute place with very reasonable prices for what you get. And I’ve always hated oysters but I guess those are around, too.Rooms: Spacious, clean, updated amenities, quiet, cozy!Nearby activities: Suck down some local sea boogers (oysters) and check out the World’s Largest Oyster™ next to the docks, feed the ducks at the courthouse (which looks like the friggin White House) and yell a friendly hello to my friends and former classmates inside the county jail, buy and use cannabis legally, protest Dollar General and shop only at Pioneer, and avoid Yellow Deli and their other businesses at ALL COSTS. If you have a car then visit the Kurt Cobain bridge & Star Wars museum/store in Aberdeen!Safety: Tbh you could run around town holding your wallet in the air yelling, “Somebody rob me!” and no one would bother.Walkability: The motel is located up a small hill but definitely walkable and close to the main spots in town, including the World’s Largest Oyster™ and the grocery store.Food & drinks: Oysters, basic pub food, and drinks nearby at The Chester - a community institution. Please tip the bartenders extra for dealing with me in my early 20’s. Elixir is a cute coffee shop next door with local art and goodies for sale. Pioneer Grocery is owned by the nicest family in town!”

“Chen’s has been around for a long time. There are two locations: Long Beach and South Bend. This review is for the South Bend restaurant.You can definitely count on a filling meal when you eat here. The portions are good. We started off with the crab puffs. They were ok. Not great, but ok. I feel like they should be called cream cheese puffs instead. The crab was nonexistent. Tasty, but not quite up to excellent crab puff status.My husband got his usual combo plate consisting of sweet and sour pork, fried shrimp, fried rice and chicken chow mein. He liked it. But he’s pretty easy to please! Everything was hot and fresh tasting so that was good.I opted for the beef and broccoli. It was good, too. The carrots and broccoli weren’t smooshy, the beef was tender and the gravy tasty. All pretty decent. You’re not going to get fancy schmancy Chinese cuisine here, but you will get a decent Americanize Chinese meal. The restaurant itself is pretty dated. Could use a nice renovation, but it’s clean.The waitress was the one excellent element during our meal. Five stars for her. She was the only one waiting tables on a very busy Friday night and she was hustling. On top of that she didn’t forget one thing requested, and service delivered with a friendly smile and kind words. Definitely worthy of a hefty tip.Overall, Chen’s was a decent place to eat, if you’re not expecting a fine dining experience. Just good, old American Chinese food.”
