Detailed Reviews
Odd experience, quaint rooms furnished with antiques and unusual furniture and fixtures, comfortable beds, small bathrooms but hot showers. The owner is a pack rat and her quarters were filled to overflowing with every manner of junk. Breakfast was an odd affair, standing up eating junk food.

Clean, dated with good clean beds and bath. Nice towels. Needs some maintenance, but overall a clean, inexpensive room close to Crater Lake. Overall feel of 1950's. No AC. Night is usually cool in this area.

Stayed here last night on my way to and from Crater Lake.
The motel room is clean and.. wooden! Even the ceiling panels! Bed and the plethora of cushions is nice, internet once it was up and working was good too since the tv only has 6 channels (not their fault being in the boonies) but it would be nice to have an up to date tv and dvd instead of a vcr.
If you want clean and comfy for the night, give it a try!

Although it's on the edge of nowhere it is the closest reasonably priced lodging to Crater Lake National Park. Those who expect luxurious accomodations should look elsewhere, but if you are hear to partake of the most beautiful(and deepest) lake in North America, the owners are knowledgeable, friendly and well acquainted with the area. They will even adjust their satellite TV to any channel you wish. All you have to do is ask.

The room was dusty and dirty. Front door had a space to the outside at the top to allow bugs in. Bees were outside and I got stung while my wife and her friend jumped back into car. Went up the road and rented a room at twice the price but worth it. Went back in 30 minutes to cancel the terrible room and lady said she would not refund but would try to resell which did not happen. So reality is they were not out anything since they did not sell. We never touched anything in the room only walked two feet in then out. The women were in danger from the bees and nasty appearance. Horrible place to even drive by with trash everywhere outside.

No air-conditioning, so you suffer until after 9 or 10 pm when its cooled off. The rooms are old and the carpet is dirty. They dont even come in to clean the rooms and out clean towels. The market outside is trashy due to hording

My room was in good shape, clean, and comfortable. But the outside needed attention. Overflowing trash, filled cigarette butt cans, and excess junk lying about takes away from the old school motel charm. Road noise was significant, so ear plugs were a must. Budget pricing and great location keeps this place going.

The place on the outside looks like it needs major repairs. We could see light through the 6 panel door. Toilet seat surface coating had major peeling. Bedspread looked like it was from the sixties (not retro either). Place looked clean enough until I went to plug in my phone. Major dust under night stand and along trim. Location was great as it was 20 mins. from the north gate of Crater lake. The man who checked us in was friendly enough but the lobby was in disarray. Stuff all over the place. Wouldn’t recommend this place the only thing good was location and $. As the saying goes you get what you pay for.

Absolutely bizarre.
But I had a great experience.
The two dogs and the cat were friendly and welcoming and the beds were horrible but I had the best nights sleep in like forever.
The place needs a major re do and not very clean but weirdly a good experience.
Except for someones underwear in the corner , room was not clean .

The owners are so nice and the rooms arent the hilton but they are clean and tidy with knotty pine walls it has a rustic feel. I have stayed here a couple times and am planning to come back. For 50 bucks you get either a one bed room with a couch/futon or double bed room both with tv and vcr which the crater lake lodge doesnt have at 200 bucks.Each unit has a little microwave and a little oscilating fan which i cant sleep without a fan so that was great. But one of the best treats is the restraunt across the street has to die for pancakes they are literally the best pancakes in the world and the staff is very friendly. i stayed here on my trip to crater lake and diamond lake and was a great location to visit both.But i also loved how close it is located to the Cowboy Dinner Tree restraunt out of lakeview i love driving out there and having a huge steak and enjoying there homemade soup and desserts. If you have never been here definately check it out.
