Overall, we were very comfortable and enjoyed a good night sleep
Pros:

It was secure and it was quiet. The room was a good size and I like the privacy in the bathroom.

Cons:

It’s kind of inconvenient to have to go so far to get some ice for your room. I wish they had more ice machines more readily available.

Unconforable beds , no fridge, bad pillows, disability access issues
Pros:

I liked the free parking

Cons:

This is not a inn. You have to go through several buildings with luggage & all the entrances have stairs unless you walk allll the way to the front of the building they gave you and then you walk through a hallway outside that you need another key card for and the doors were outdated.

The handicap parking area does not have a ramp inside or up. It had stairs. I pulled my luggage up the stairs to save time in a rush. Walking around is exhausting and cost me time.

There’s no fridge, no microwave, or any vending machines in the building I was in. They put my room next to the ice machine & I could hear any time someone was getting ice.


My sleep was terrible. The bed I could feel the springs. It was wonky. The pillows are so small and bunched up cotton balls. There was no support. I actually barely slept at this place and considered getting my air mattress. I only stayed for 3 nights. Immediately when I arrived at this location I regretted booking it. It is far from an Inn. A inn has private separate doors. Not multiple buildings that all need a key.

Even though parking is free there’s barely any parking. The lot was so full I parked so far away from the building I was in. I had to carry my luggage, dog, and my wagon i had to pick up the stairs instead of walking for another 10 minutes to get through one building out the other and then PULLING the door open again and dragging my stuff inside.


If you are handicapped, disabled, or impaired this place should mention this. I am disabled and I found this place super ableist.

Also, upon check in the front desk receptionist gave me the dirtiest look when I arrived and her coworker helped me. Overall this place felt far from a hotel and I can’t believe I spent so much expecting a 4 star hotel. Its more 2 - 3 stars at least.

We’ll be back!!!
Pros:

The property is beautifully kept up. It’s obvious that care has also been taken with the guest rooms too. It appears that all rooms have a patio (on the first floor) or balcony (on the upper floors). The staff was exceptional. The shuttle service was wonderful. We spent a week at the hotel and never needed to rent a vehicle and only used a ride share service a few times. Dining and a shopping were within walking distance. On site dining on the river was great.

Cons:

The only complaint was that our bed was a bit more firm than we like but that was easy to overlook considering how nice everything else was. The restaurant was great but it is a bit on the pricey side for daily dining so just be prepared.

Great Value and Comfortable Stay, but Maintenance Needs Improvement
Pros:

The location is excellent, with many shopping and dining options nearby. The rooms are modern, spacious, and well-equipped, with a large TV and very comfortable beds. We also enjoyed the outdoor pool. After a long drive from Crater Lake, this was a great place to relax and rest. Overall, the property offers very good quality at a reasonable price.

Cons:

The microwave in Room 143 was almost broken and did not appear safe to use. After cooking mac and cheese for 3:30 mins it overheated and stayed hot for a while. It took three calls to the front desk before our concern was taken seriously, and unfortunately, the maintenance person never showed up. This left us concerned about the safety of future guests if the issue is not addressed.

Pros:

Clean and convenient

Cons:

Evidently housekeeping came in our room without notice. We had a large trash bag that we needed to use for our event. The trash bag was taken , we weren't aware that housekeeping was coming into our room. I looked for a please do not disturb sign but there wasn't one. Very curious
