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.

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

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.

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.

Older Building in Quaint Little Town
We have stayed here several times before and like the fact that it is an older building in a quaint little town. They do try to keep up with the latest in entertainment on the TV.

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.

The place is small and older in a town with only a few amenities but the most important things: clean and comfortable were top notch and the staff was great!

Right next to the highway you hear tractor trailers 24/7. Stingy owners are loathe to give up toilet paper. Walk to everything the town is so small.
