Crater Lake’s closest full service town is showcased by the Prospect Historic Hotel-Motel and Dinner House. Built in 1888 as a Stage Coach Stop half-way between the Rogue Valley and Crater Lake, this Nationally Registered Historic Hotel has been restored to all of it’s glory.
The fine buiding is situated in a beautiful area with rivers, waterfalls, forests and small canyons. It is about 35 miles from the Crater Lake. No much alternatives available unless expensive hotel in the park. I was unfortunately not booked in the beautiful main building but in the motel annex. However, the room was good, spacious, clean and with good beds. The breakfast and dinner were of extremely good quality. Conclusion: despite distance to the lake this hotel is a beautiful place to stay.
Staying at the Historic (aka 1950's style ) motel served us just fine. It is not a fancy motel, situated behind the historic hotel but it was clean and warm. We ate dinner in the attached dining room but chose not to eat breakfast there. The breakfast was priced at $16 because we were staying in the motel. Breakfast is included if staying in the hotel. Our dinner was delicious!
Crater Lake is VERY isolated. If you don't get a room in the NP (limited), you drive miles for a place to stay. The Prospect Historic Hotel is worth the drive through the beautiful area. The rooms are small but liveable. My husband complained of the foo-foo, but it's charming. No TV--which I enjoyed. The breakfasts are over-the-top delicious and more than I could eat. Thankfully, they also offer dinner since the location is remote. Dinners were excellent. The grounds are beautiful, and the hosts friendly and helpful. And if you have the talent, a pump organ awaits you!
Just off Highway 62, on the way to Crater Lake National Park, You will find the Prospect Historic Hotel and Dinner House. Owners Karen and Fred know how to make a person feel at home and the service and dinner was the perfect compliment to our anniversary getaway.
This historic hotel which although well placed for visiting Crater Lake is living in the past but not necessarily in a good way! It's saving grace was the outstanding and friendly welcome we received from the young receptionist. However the motel room although clean left a lot to be desired by today's standards and especially for the price paid! Dated furnishings, thin uncomfortable mattress and pillows. The cheap thin bath towels, didn't dry well and were not big enough. As an average sized female and dread to think how some larger people would cope!!!! However the most annoying thing was being only given one packet and filter of coffee!! No tea or kettle but paper cups!!!!!!! And no spoons TV programs available poor, no radio No hairdryer , had to be collected from reception in case all rooms use at once and blow the power!!! I did not expect that for the price of the motel Wifi doesn't work in the motel and although you can get some weak signal on the patio area. I know it is a rural area but for travel weather info it is essential. Sadly would not recommend this place
