Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was not clean, bathroom was disgusting with hairs all over bathtub mat. Staff did not speak any English so they had to call someone over the phone every time we need to communicate with them. Rooms had old beat-up furniture, not a good place to stay at all.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was especially helpful. Did their utmost to make limited ammenities available. Attention to detail in room and drinks available 24/7 in lobby. Small, older place in remote town outside of Crater Lake - you can walk the length of the town in 15-20 minutes. 2 of the 3 restaurants in town were closed on the day we were there (Monday&Tuesday closed). Mexican restaurant was at South end of the street and very good.

The staff at this property are very helpful and courteous. The rooms are clean. But the walls are thin (you can hear the truck traffic on the road and the people in other rooms), and everything is in need of an update. For the price, travelers should expect more — but it’s one of the few places with access to the north entrance of Crater Lake — supply and demand determine the price.

We were headed to Crater lake and it was only about 30 minutes. That is convenient considering the limited options around Crater Lake. Walkable to several cafes. Quaint but hardest bed I have ever slept on. Hotel is slightly run down, but adds to the quaint factor

Office smells like curry and staff was not very welcoming or friendly. Asked for extra towels and one was sticky so asked for more. Overall cleanliness was fair and room much smaller than advertised with no storage.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Thé lamp had a usb receptacle. The refrigerator was unplugged and not ready to use. The room smelled of chemicals and that smell permeated my luggage and clothing. Lights shown through the window and the noise from highway 97 kept me awake all night. I paid for two nights but left after one night because of the noise. No refund was given. This was my worst motel experience.

Not many options near north entrance to Crater NP
Stairs only so if you have any physical limitations, I would not recommend. I was under the impression breakfast was included but it was just coffee. Bed was nice. Shower was poor and washcloths were stained. Staff was friendly.

Terrible hotel, as bad as it gets! First of all the woman checking us in was rude she then gave us a key that said room 103, but was really for room 101. The room was extra tiny and there was a 4 ft in diameter wet spot on the filthy carpet. The bathroom floor was also dirty, and towels were ragged and threadbare. We were looking for a hotel north of Crater Lake for an easy drive the best day! While this may have been the best hotel in Chemult, I highly recommend not booking a room.
