Good service easy access to breakfast places and clean surrroundings
Sonali, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Dawson is an older property that is fairly well maintained. The bed was comfortable, the room clean. Chemult was close to our destination, Crater Lake. The locals told us the place was haunted, but we didn't see any spirits!
Ann, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a good time. The room was accommodating and clean. It was a bit difficult to keep the curtain closed that led out to the back of the property

basic motel

Very basic and run down motel. was clean enough. Was ok for me, but too run down for some people. some road noise, depending on your room.

Good stay. Close to the entrance to Crater Lake. Near the food options in town.
Todd, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was very basic. Not a lot of room. Linen and towels were clean, but the room itself needed a good cleaning and some TLC. The room we had was next to the road and there cars and trucks that went by all night.

Great place to stay

The motel was very clean, staff was friendly and gave recommendations for dinner options.

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.
Dominique, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room didn’t exactly match the pictures, was very small. Work was being done outside of the room on porch & it was very noisy. TV was difficult to figure out & couldn’t control the volume to turn it done. There were what seemed to be fruit flies in the sink in the bathroom. Bed was good.

A family owned lodge that is well maintained. I felt safe being a solo female traveler. Restaurant s, gas stations, minimarts, the post office are within walking distance.

6/10 Good

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

Room had everything we needed including a fridge. Lots of pillows. They also provide coffee.

6/10 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.
Jon, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The only thing this property has going for it is that it’s close to Crater Lake! It’s a historic former boarding house that has seen better days.Its right next to a busy highway so it’s noisy. Check in was quick, bed was fine, but the only blankets were non-washable decorative covers over just a sheet. The bathroom sink /counter had been updated and a linoleum floor installed . The bedroom wood floor may have been pro but it really creaked walking on it. The room had a working TV with Satellite channels, a working refrigerator and a small microwave. The building was in the process of being painted, so all exterior benches were covered with scraping/sanding dust, as well as the balcony outside our upper level rooms. We walked across the highway to a pretty good restaurant for dinner, and stopped on our way back to the hotel at a little market that seemed to have everything for ice cream. We would have loved to sit outside and enjoy it but for the condition of all the outside benches. We didn’t use the air conditioner that was directly above the bed or the small wall heater that next to the other side of the bed. There was a lighted ceiling fan mid-room with pull cords for light or fan that had a wall switch near the door to the room.
Ellen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The history surrounding the building was unique. We stayed in the loft area. It worked for our family of 5 for the night. Checkin was easy and they were friendly. No breakfast options but there was hot coffee, tea and hot chocolate available. Would stay again if ever in the area.

6/10 Good

I love the history of this place. It’s quaint and very basic. Others have mentioned they had a hard time sleeping because of road noise. That was not my experience at all. I slept great both nights I was there. My husband and I stayed there because we were visiting Crater Lake. I can’t emphasize enough that this is a very basic, no nonsense place. I felt safe and secure in my room and in the area. It was nice to step out of our room onto the balcony that goes all the way around the building. A good place to chill and read. The porch is a common area, so if there is someone in the room next to you , you will meet them on the porch. We ate at at Jen’s Coffee across the street. Great hearty breakfast, huge portions and nice, friendly owners. Plenty of donuts available too for a quick cup and donut to go. My only real complaint was that our room, the Rose Room had a jacuzzi style tub and the jets didn’t work. The manager said it needed to be serviced. I specifically picked this room because of the tub/jacuzzi and was disappointed that it didn’t work. In spite of that it’s a huge tub and very comfortable to have a bath in. While we were there it appeared that upgrades were being made to the building and some of the issues that others reported appeared to have been resolved. Basic coffee available in the lobby starting at 6am. It’s a 35 or 40 minute drive to Crater Lake from Chemult.
Rose Room. Comfortable space. Porch door to the left, by window.
Nice tub, but jets didn’t work. Manager said it needed to be serviced.

Unique rustic inn close to N.P.

Very friendly owner there to check you in and answer your questions. Felt more like a B&B with unique Decour for each room from the past, appointed with personal touches to this clean rustic road house’s charm. Big wrap around porch to enjoy as traffic goes by, with big convenient store across the street to stock up on any supplies, and parking just outside your door.

It would have been nice if the window coverings shut out more light. The room was comfortable and convenient to Crater Lake. Everything worked.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.
