The room had one of the worst beds I have ever slept on and I was in the Navy. It was an old mattress with squeaking springs. The room was clean but very dated.

Skip this place

Don't waste your time here. Very overpriced for a small room with cobwebs in the corners and dead bugs on the walls. No amenities. You won't get any sleep since it's on a main trunkline and very noisy. Not a real good area. Very disappointed - should have slept in my car that night.

Limited food options, really only one place close. Room was in need of updating. The chairs were rickety and the shower head was too low. Shower was dirty.The the tv, dvd player, microwave and refrigerator were plugged into a power strip that was plugged onto a non grounded plug. Thought we might catch on fire - dangerous

I would not stay here next time.

I thought room has mini-kitchen...no. Micro.frig - yes. Shower did not work, no coffee maker, clock, chairs...pretty much nothing. Only good thing is location to Crater Lake, cheaper than outrageous price in this area.

Good enough for a night

Old hotel between the highway and the railroad. Not good beds but ok. Not quiet but ok when you are tired. Staff very nice, so good enough stop for a night. Accept dogs. A little market and Gas stations around to buy deli and groceries. Very good Mexican restaurant.

Major disappointment

The mattress/box springs on queen bed were totally worn out on one side. It made a load pop when I sat on the bed and then sank at least 6”. Luckily the room had a second full size bed with a normal mattress. The shower head sprayed water everywhere and if anyone near by suddenly used water, the water would go from scalding hot to icy cold without warning. The window was missing a vertical blind above the ac unit. If you pulled the curtain to cover the gap in the blinds it blocked air flow. Needless to say privacy was lacking. Finally Wi-Fi was crazy slow. Just used cellphone w/o connecting to Wi-Fi. It was much faster. This hotel should definitely do some room upgrades. Very disappointed.

Uncomfortable

Was very outdated, floors squeaked and walls were thin. I was on the second floor but the stairs were very narrow and half way up there was a room's door at the landing so if the person inside open the door youd be hit. Our room was a two bed and it had separate rooms but the rooms were tiny and cramped. Balcony was assessable to all rooms so door was locked but still didnt feel safe. The area is very small with only a few businesses. Just passing through for a night was ok but couldnt have stayed any longer.
