Chemult is a small town relatively close to Crater Lake. The property was clean and the room was spacious and had both a fridge and a microwave. The room had a balcony overlooking a highway. Coffee was offered for a period in the morning, but breakfast was on our own. It is located on US 97, which is a major truck route from Canada, so trucks went by frequently throughout the night, which were easily heard in the room. Dining in the town was very limited.

This is a fun, old school motor lodge, the kind of place that was the standard roadside place to stay in mid-century America. You drive right up to your room, and the manager gives you a real key, not a card, to open the door. Does it have all the bells and whistles that a generic, boring… Days Inn have? Of course not, but it’s got SO much more character and charm! My wife and I stayed here on our way up to southern Oregon, and greatly enjoyed it. There is an old bar right next door, the Klondike Klub, which has been there forever, and it is filled with very welcoming regulars. The room was comfortable, clean, cute and cozy. The manager was very helpful and friendly. We’re glad we stayed here, and will do so for sure next time we find ourselves in the Lake Shasta area.

Nothing but noisy. Tractor-trailer trucks rumbling by your window, literally 10-15 ft. away All night. You will not sleep. You'll still be 50 minutes to Crater Lake. Wait until you can get a cabin at Crater Lake instead.

AC window unit prevents the window from being locked/room was not secure. AC unit filter was very dirty/had to wash it out in the tub. The mattress was hard as a rock and so were the pillows. However, would return to thus hotel if mattresses were improved but maybe not this room due to security issue.

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.

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

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.

Uncomfortable

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 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.

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.

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
