    Great place to stay while visiting Crater Lake
    We stayed here for one night while visiting Crater Lake on a sunny snowy winter day. We wanted to stay in the Inn but it was closed for the winter so we booked a motel room instead and it worked out just fine. The room was spotless, there was a microwave, coffee maker, refrige, and plenty of hot water. The bed was extra firm in our room. Not sure if they are all that way. The town of Prospect is cute and off of the highway a few blocks so there was no highway noise. The Prospect Cafe next door served a basic breakfast, but beware, no on in the restaurant was wearing a mask, including our waitress. Prospect Pizza down the road for dinner was excellent and I would highly recommend. (masks worn too) The owner of the Inn, Fred was very hospitable and gave us a map of his property to explore and also to the trail to Perrsoney Falls which was only a 10 minute walk away and well worth it. In the summer the Inn is open and from what I read, they have an excellent dinner and breakfast served. We hope to return!

    Excellent location and staff, but motel rooms need substantial upgrades
    I stayed in a motel room and enjoyed a meal at the dinner house. As such, this review will not discuss the B&B portion of the property. I will also note that T-Mobile has absolutely no service in this community. This is not considered in my overall rating of the property, but is important knowledge if you're considering staying here. Pros: Grounds are beautiful. Location is excellent, both in its proximity to Crater Lake and in the quaintness and trails available in the small village of Prospect. Woman who checked me in was excellent and showed me a map of everything there was to do in Prospect. Motel room was very clean. Dinner in the roadhouse was excellent. Cons: WiFi was unstable at best... it was acceptable for tasks requiring less bandwidth for much of my stay, but there were a few hours in the evening where it was out altogether (especially frustrating in a community with no cell service). Motel rooms need substantial updates. They had a picture tube TV, a rotary dial microwave without a turntable, and a fridge that looked like it was from the 80s (see pic). Mattress was old, squeaky, and uncomfortable. Only 2 small pillows provided (I had my own extras on this trip, so I didn't ask if they had more). Part of the room was carpet, part was laminate/vinyl... Given the outdoor nature of this destination, I don't think carpet is a good idea. Roadhouse, while excellent, was a bit expensive (prime rib and beer prices were what I expected, but I was charged $7 for a bowl of sauteed mushrooms that were marketed to me like a side salad, which I thought was part of meal price). Roadhouse only provides breakfast to B&B guests, but I could have gone to a nearby cafe if I wanted. Town has minimal services (one convenience store and one cafe, both with limited hours). Bottom Line: This is an excellent property with a quaint feel and awesome location. But in a community with no cell service, they need to provide enough internet access for all guests without having to reset routers in the evening. And regardless of the quaint, rural, remote, and/or cheap nature of the motel, there is no excuse for still having a picture tube television... I stay in my fair share of cheap motels, and haven't seen one of those for years. Mattresses also definitely need replacement. All in all, I expected a bit more for the price I paid. I might return in the future if they undergo renovations.
    We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. When traveling in rural regions Cell service and WIFI is a luxury that can be difficult to receive. Some Cell systems work OK here. Many do not. That is a function of being away from the city. T-Mobile is one that does not provide good coverage here. US Cellular is THE local provider, and they can be sketchy. Rural Internet is VERY IFFY. We get some of the fastest in town, which limits out a 40MBPS. We have to share that among all 70 guests. We make that quite clear in our advertising. 'Mountain WIFI' we call it. When all of the guests connect at the same time anything beyond basic email and some searching is limited. This is out of our control. We keep our rates below the local establishments for all of our lodging. Rooms are super clean and have working amenities. Does the Microwave not work because it has a built in timer, that NEVER breaks down, unlike the digital ones? Seems like a lot of minor things to complain about that do not affect the quality of your stay for the Closest Full service town and accommodations to Crater Lake National Park. Most everybody loves what we do and provide. Some nitpick. Yes we have vinyl in the Wet Areas and Carpet around the rest of the room. I'm not sure how that is a negative? Sorry you didn't appreciate what we offer. We are glad that everyone else does!

    So Peaceful !
    The Prospect Hotel, while truly being the ideal base for day tripping to Crater Lake, is also a wonderful experience all in itself. The grounds are filled with beautiful plants and trees of all types, and the nearby falls are a short and relatively easy walk away. Our room, the "Zane Grey", was very comfortable with it's own bathroom, and nice touches reflecting the author who had once stayed at the property. Breakfast, prepared by Nick, was a delicious helping of Hazelnut French Toast, and a special omelet surprise like we've never experienced, both with a side of fresh fruit. The owner, Fred, couldn't have been more pleasant and informative about the area, offering many suggestions for day trips and dining. We highly recommend taking the opportunity to experience the serenity this establishment has to offer.

This is the closest town to Crater Lake National Park and the accommodations here exceeded our expectations of a typical “motel”. It was extremely clean, safe, and the people who worked at the hotel were very friendly. The wifi was solid and there was extremely hot water at all times. The woman at the front desk was so helpful and gave us a lot of recommendations and maps for local hikes and water falls! Definitely recommend making a dinner reservation here as well- order the prime rib, it was truly delicious!! The homemade bread was also amazing. My only regret was not leaving enough room to try their dessert because we know it would have been so good.

Nice old hotel. Very well maintained. The front porch is wonderful! We had to stay in the back in the small motel. We can't climb stairs. Great place to stay if you didn't reserve a room in Crater Lake Lodge. Only 45 minutes away.

Stayed for 2 nights and had a room on the 2nd floor. This property is as its name states is historic. So if you are looking for large, spacious modern rooms like the Hilton then this is not for you. So rooms are compact and furnished in a style befitting this type of property. Space is of a premium but rooms are fairly comfortable. The mattress was a bit softer than I would liked but this is purely a personal preference. The room had a very good shower and the toiletries provided were excellent. The property has the benefit of air conditioning and this helped towards a good nights sleep. Staff at the property were excellent and very helpful. Be sure to take the local walks suggested when you check in. They are well worth while. Breakfast was included and you can book a time to eat each morning. Although no choice the food served was of a good standard - fruit juice, fruit salad followed by a cooked option.

We stayed for two nights in July as a base to see Crater Lake NP. Check in was friendly and informative. Our room was one of the smaller queen rooms on the second floor, Boothby. Nicely decorated and air conditioner worked very well. Enjoyed the included breakfast and being able to reserve a time. Prospect Hotel has a very large property, gardens, pond, walking path and horseshoe pits. Excellent trails to several waterfalls very close to hotel.

The motel room was clean, maintained and appliances in working order. Parking is easy and close to the door. I found the bed to be comfortable. I was able to fit my large suitcase on the rack setting up between the mini fridge and bathroom counter. Housekeeping does not service rooms during your stay (post covid) but readily addresses guest needs. There were a couple of small matters that were easily remedied. All staff encounters were pleasant and the office was very helpful, even encouraging, about visiting nearby trails to waterfalls and other land features. They also have some good ghost stories, if you ask! The dinner house onsite serves a deliscious prime rib and the salmon is a nice dish, also. There was an issue with the sides on both of my visits. The carrot cake tastes homemade, as advertised, and was a dessert and breakfast endeavor. I chose this location, in part, for its proximity to Crater Lake National Park. There are also an option of trails, restaraunts, post office and a country store nearby.

The service at the desk was prompt and very helpful; they provided lots of good information about the immediate area, as well as Crater Lake. The nearby waterfalls are lovely. We made our reservations very late and the only rooms available were in the motel. The room was very small and a bit hard to manage with our suitcases, but it was quite clean and quiet and everything was in good working order. I suspect the hotel rooms are a bit more commodious. We enjoyed dinner there one night, didn’t try the breakfast.

Property is in a quirky historic house which have rooms as well as adjacent motel style rooms We stayed in the motel room. Room was small and needed to be refurbished but was clean and quiet. We used it as a base to explore Crater Lake which is about 40 miles away. Not many services in Prospect itself, but the Cougar Pizza place was great - very friendly and close to the hotel.

Staff at restaurant were very nice. Hotel is about an hour from Crater Lake and the food and dining options are extremely limited—we ate at the hotel both nights. Expensive for the quality, but welcome after a day hiking. Good choice of beer and wine and a varied menu that exceeded the options inside the park. Motel rooms have kitchenettes in case you want to cook in the room.
