I’m looking for a 5-star place to stay for one night as close as possible to the California border, but I can’t seem to find anything.

If you want to spend time in Ashland, your best bet is Ashland Hostel, which has dorm rooms for less than $30 per night. See this link. On the other end of the Rogue Valley, Valley of the Rogue State Park just north of Gold Hill is one of the nicest state parks, where you…
