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.
We have just returned from the most memorable 3 days at the charming Prospect Hotel. We booked this location for its close proximity to Crater Lake as we brought our bikes to "Ride the Rim" at the National Park. We were greeted warmly and found our room to be impeccably maintained. We had booked one of their motel rooms, which provided easy access to bring in our bikes. The small refrigerator in our room worked so much better than those used in major hotel chains. The shower provided hot water almost instantly and a wonderful firm spray for our tired muscles. There were numerous places to sit both in and outside the large property; plus the wrap around porch seating beckoned a person to "set awhile". The Dining room was so inviting to walk into each day and all the meals were a "Fine Dining" experience and beyond delicious. The rib-eye was the best we've ever had at any restaurant. The Wait Staff was always attentive and engaging, even amidst a full dining room. The Prospect Hotel was a welcoming view when we returned from our adventures of the day. A Perfect three days!
We stumbled on to this B&B and motel while on our way from the Redwoods in CA to Crater Lake in OR. This was the only motel listed on the sign for Prospect and we had our doubts as we drove through the town of Prospect. Was pleasantly surprised to find this quaint B&B and motel. Being the last chance for lodging before Crater Lake we were happy they had vacancies and stayed in the motel. The room was very clean and had everything you could want in a motel. The motel sits on a 5 acre property with walking paths, pond and flowers. We saw a doe and two fawns in the yard as we walked around taking photos. There are horseshoe pits. There is a diner next door where we went for dinner. The B&B does offer dinner but we did not eat there. The owner of the inn is very helpful in giving directions to the nearby waterfalls. The owner is friendly and takes pride in the history of his inn. It was so nice to have a place that was clean, and well maintained with a great place to relax after a long day of traveling.
I stayed here seven years ago and again it did not disappoint. We booked motel room #7 which has a Queen size bed and two Twin size beds in the adjoining room. The furniture is dated but the entire room was very clean. Staff was kind and attentive. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the hotel's restaurant. We were saddened to stay here only for one night. Next time we'll have to better plan this.
We stayed in the motel portion. It’s was fine. The place is dated but served its purpose. Prospect city is not that nice of a town. There is nothing to do there n I didn’t feel safe either. The grounds of the hotel also need some help. We had dinner which was ok but not worth the price. The best part of this place is the location close to the park. Tried to get into the park but no such luck so we tried here. Staff friendly.
My friend and I stayed in one of the modern motel rooms for 3 nights while visiting Crater Lake and the surrounding area. The room was clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful, volunteering information about the surrounding area. The historic Hotel is gorgeous! We ate dinner in the dinner house (which is in the historic part) each night(reservations recommended). We were also told we could peek into the then-unoccupied historic rooms, and they were beautiful! Also, there is a small picnic area and a lovely wrap-around porch for guests to enjoy. The area immediately around the hotel is very peaceful. The Hotel/Motel is about a 30 minute drive from the Crater Lake park entrance. It is an easy drive. If I find myself back in this part of the country again, I plan to book another room.
