The Journey Continues at Waypoint

Where Teams Rest, Recover, and Connect in Bend

When teams travel together, it's more than just the away game that creates memories. It's the moments in between, the long bus rides, shared meals, and late-night talks that strengthen the bonds off the field. Equally important as the team bonding is an athlete's most crucial asset: getting proper rest between runs. In Bend, Oregon, there is a place that offers physical and mental recharge, a resting point along the journey. When teams travel, they need more than just a place to stay; they need a home base away from home. Waypoint provides exactly that and so much more. Let Waypoint be the stopping place for your team to rest, recover, and connect.

When you're away from your usual spots, maintaining a routine can feel more challenging. Team meetings, training sessions, play reviews, and the logistics for coaches feel endless. At Waypoint, we've considered all these concerns, so you can focus on what matters most. Being present in the special moments. 

Accommodations Built for Teams

Group travel shouldn't mean compromising on comfort or breaking budgets. Waypoint's group rates begin when you book 10 rooms or more, creating an affordable way to keep the entire team together without the usual complications of coordinating room blocks. Family Suites accommodate up to six people, perfect for coaching staff or keeping close teammates nearby. At the same time, Premium Two King Bed rooms comfortably house four athletes. Everyone gets the space they need to rest properly and feel settled.

For pre-game pep talks, post-game debriefs, and general team meetings, our meeting spaces are equipped with modern tech and flexible layouts, so you can set them up exactly how you like. After a long day, your team can bond over the ups and downs in the comforting warmth of the outdoor firepits. Sharing stories by the fire adds that something special that makes team trips so magical.

Recovery Spaces That Restore

While sleep is known to be the best recovery, we offer more spaces that work together to create an environment where rest isn't just about sleeping. The hot tub becomes the place where tired muscles can soak and teammates can decompress together after long, intense matches. There's something about that combination of warm water and quiet conversation that helps athletes process the day while their bodies recover.

The seasonal outdoor pool offers another space for teams to come together during warmer months, creating those spontaneous moments of connection that happen when athletes have room to breathe and relax. Rest at Waypoint means having that physical and mental space athletes need to perform at their peak. 

The Practical Details That Matter

It's the thoughtful touches that transform a good team trip into something memorable. On-site laundry facilities mean fresh practice gear is always available. For winter sports teams, the dedicated ski and bike maintenance room provides the proper space for equipment care - no more makeshift waxing stations in cramped hotel rooms. These aren't luxury amenities; they're practical solutions that allow athletes to focus on what they came to do.

Bend As Your Team's Advantage

Waypoint sits in Bend's Central District, right within walking distance of downtown restaurants and shops. Even closer is the Smash Burger food truck that is stationed right outside. It has become a favorite spot for visiting teams to fuel up for the next match. Fresh and affordable meals that bring everyone together after training without the need to go far from the home base, what more could anyone want? 

To stay in the training routine, your athletes can enjoy our 24/7 accessible gym or combine exploring the town with staying active by renting bikes through our local partnerships. Mt. Bachelor is just 30 minutes away for winter sports, while the heart of Bend offers everything needed between competitions. Our location provides that perfect balance, close enough to everything your team needs, yet positioned as a true home base where athletes can return and recharge without feeling scattered across an unfamiliar city.
