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.

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.

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.

Okay, but needs renovations
The beds were okay and the room was clean but it needs some renovations. I slept well even though there wasn't a deadbolt on the door. I guess it's never needed one.

Mediocre motel
The building is old and need some updates. The room can be cleaner. However there's not much more choices if you have to stay at Chemult. We paid quite a lot of money for one night, but I guess that's just the market at this time of the year. If you plan to go to Crater Lake, better plan well in advance so you can book the village directly on the Rim drive.

The room is small. There flies that we have to closed the lights to let the flies out. The water in the shower is hard to control either too hot or too cold. Coffee in the morning run out. I woke before 6 am and the lobby was still closed so we have to wait for coffee. The is outdated. The inn need to be upgraded and renovated.

Room was dirty in areas and in need of maintenance. Staff looked in our room and made intentional noise when we were a few minutes late checking out. The room did offer a nice mini kitchen and we generally had a comfortable stay here.

I'm not sure it's been updated since it opened on 1926. Shower pressure and temperature were terrible, some outlets didn't work. Beds were actually nice though. Glad we only had one night there
