Unable to contact property for check in instructions -no working phone number and no response to messaging.
No window screens, AC unit not working, minimal water pressure, aging property.
Limited food options, really only one place close. Room was in need of updating. The chairs were rickety and the shower head was too low. Shower was dirty.The the tv, dvd player, microwave and refrigerator were plugged into a power strip that was plugged onto a non grounded plug. Thought we might catch on fire - dangerous

Decent place in a pinch given how remote it is.
+ Right on the highway
+ Clean
- Outdated appliances
- Broken doorframe from being forced in at some point
I thought room has mini-kitchen...no. Micro.frig - yes. Shower did not work, no coffee maker, clock, chairs...pretty much nothing. Only good thing is location to Crater Lake, cheaper than outrageous price in this area.

The property needs upgraded. The bed was uncomfortable. The price was reasonable.
Good stay. Close to the entrance to Crater Lake. Near the food options in town.

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.
The mattress/box springs on queen bed were totally worn out on one side. It made a load pop when I sat on the bed and then sank at least 6”. Luckily the room had a second full size bed with a normal mattress. The shower head sprayed water everywhere and if anyone near by suddenly used water, the water would go from scalding hot to icy cold without warning. The window was missing a vertical blind above the ac unit. If you pulled the curtain to cover the gap in the blinds it blocked air flow. Needless to say privacy was lacking. Finally Wi-Fi was crazy slow. Just used cellphone w/o connecting to Wi-Fi. It was much faster. This hotel should definitely do some room upgrades. Very disappointed.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
$175.00 ,for a $99.00 room.
Checkin was satisfactory but we resereved in February and received an upsatairs bedroom, with a tamperd dead bolt on door. Shabby shower.
Very disappointed.
Was very outdated, floors squeaked and walls were thin. I was on the second floor but the stairs were very narrow and half way up there was a room's door at the landing so if the person inside open the door youd be hit. Our room was a two bed and it had separate rooms but the rooms were tiny and cramped. Balcony was assessable to all rooms so door was locked but still didnt feel safe. The area is very small with only a few businesses. Just passing through for a night was ok but couldnt have stayed any longer.
The bathroom was disgusting. It smelled like pee and had a ring in the toilet. The shower had worn linoleum and it turned black. The beds were like sleeping on springs that needed WD40. I checked in late and could not wait to wake up from the nightmare and zing out of there.

This motel is fine. It is the best in town, but still a step below a Motel 6. Not especially clean or nice. I still gave it 4 stars because it is near Lassen—as long as the North entrance is open.
