Prospect Historic Hotel - Motel and Dinner House

When I, Steve, checked in I was welcomed with open heart and kindness. The area is what dreams are made off. The grounds were green and well maintained. The food was five star. Fred and Karen treated us like family. If you can somthing to do in Prospect at least have a Lions meal. We will be comming back.

I recently stayed two days at the Prospect Motel for a ski weekend at Crater Lake. I was impressed with the Prospect, the front desk was helpful the rooms clean and comfortable, and well equipped, and a dinner at the restaurant was superb. It is a beautiful property and the management helpful.

The Prospect Hotel is a charming historic B & B in a beautiful area. It is a pretty place to stay while visiting Crater Lake, the Rogue River Gorge, and the waterfalls and trails in Prospect. The owner was friendly and helpful and proved to be a wonderful breakfast chef, too.

This is the 3rd year in the last 4 that we have stayed at the PH. Its wonderful. you have your choice of a historic hotel, or a motor lodge style in back. we choose the motel. A room with a kitchenette. there is a large grass area, horseshoe pits a wonderful setting. They prepare a special , off season meal for our group. The food is absolutley amazing!! The owners are always on site and very freindly. We hope to go back again next year.

Appreciated the front desk's welcome and recommendations. Dog friendly was much appreciated.

Front desk were very helpful in providing details of nearby attractions and refreshment opportunities. Room was good value for facilities provided including free wi-fi

Excellent! At first, we booked two hotel rooms (yes, there are hotel rooms and motel rooms). However, a few days before visiting, they sent me an email saying that air conditioners in hotel rooms were still being repaired and we should stay in motel rooms. We had no choice, so we switched them. Motel rooms had a private bathroom, fridge, microwave, TV (old though), soft bed and complimentary toiletry. They were really like hotel rooms, but really cheap. We could save $80 for the two rooms! I really recommend motel rooms unless you really want to stay in what is called "hotel" rooms. The hotel owner suggested not only rooms but also view spots and restaurants near the hotel, even the shortest way to go back to my town! He greatly took care of guests. Thank you very much, and I recommend this hotel to anyone who visit Crater Lake or places nearby.

Excellent B&B experience. good service, excellent meal. Will return!

The hotel is beautiful the perfect place to get quality rest and relaxation. Also, very convenient to Crater Lake to enjoy nature's beauty. The employees are very helpful in every way possible! The dinning room with its Victorian decor is a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. However, the meal leaves little to be desired especially for the exorbitant price. The staff works hard to overcome the downfalls. I would stay here again but eat elsewhere.

The Prospect Historic Hotel was a great place to stay in the area. We will recommend it to friends. Albuquerque NM Visitors

The location was good to the Natl Park. The service we received was very good. The room was a little small, but nice and neat. Had everything we needed. Would stay again. Price a little high, but overall a nice historic place. P.S. The Prime Rib was wonderful!!!

Fantastic "four of a kind golf" with golf as it was intended before the very manicured courses. Fair and challenging. A great shot was highly rewarded with a mediocre shot punished. A very decent price for the privilege of playing Bandon dunes couldn't have made golf more fun with fewer hassles. Every aspect was well thought out. Professional to the core. A golf Mecca that I hope is around for ever

The room was modest, but comfortable and clean, w/an excellent mattress and pillows. The dining room served outstanding food & the ambience was very relaxed. The staff worked hard to ensure that guests were comfortable and felt welcome.

Great historical atmospher Highly recommend if you are looking to get away from the rat race of life and slow down a bit. Jeff and Teresa from Salem Oregon.

The hotel, dining room, parlor and grounds are beautiful. We were in the motel section, which was nice, quiet and clean, but plan to stay in the historic hotel itself next time. The food was very good and they are willing to accomodate special dietary needs, but be sure to make your breakfast and dinner reservations, so they will expect you. This is the only place in Prospect to have a good dinner. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They are knowledgable about the area and gave us a map to several beautiful nearby waterfalls. Twenty-eight miles from Crater Lake National Park and about 35 to the lake itself, which was the reason for our visit.

This event is the last weekend in Sept. Weather was great, three of the six bands were good. Owners are very helpful and friendly. Only problem with the room was the bed. It was very hard and uncomfortable. After two nights our backs were hurting bad. We stayed in the motel section. Food was good, nice weekend other than the bed.

We had a reservation at Crater Lake but rather than arrive there early evening we decided to stop at the Prospect Hotel in the late afternoon instead and proceed to Crater the next day. It was a good decision, the hotel is very nice and clean with well kept grounds. They have a very large land area for other functions if necessary, which we did not need. The desk mentioned a hike to a nearby water fall which was quite spectacular; we did not try the other hikes as we were tired from a long day’s drive. Breakfast was a combination of egg and pancakes with a couple of choices for each. We did not have dinner as we had a very large, and late, lunch. Reservations must be made for dinner if you want that. The hotel is about 45 from Crater Lake rim drive and would be a convenient, and less costly place to stay than the Lodge if you don’t mind the commute. We would stay there again and maybe spend more time seeing the area around Prospect.

Beautiful old hotel loved the porch and grounds. The area has alot to offer in the way of waterfalls and the Rogue River is fantastic. Nice restaurant very friendly staff. Make sure you sit in the porch swing it was very relaxing. Only one complaint the pillows were not good take your own if possible.

Stayed in Hotel for one night while Cycle Oregon was in town. (2200 cyclist camping) Room was as web-site pictured. Room small but that's the way they were built then....Wonderful breakfast included. Would stay again.

Upon arrival, the wrap around porch with rockers and settees (all appointed with comfy cushions and lap blankets) drew us in and put us in a warm mood. It was like walking onto my Grandmother's front porch of long ago. We stayed in the motel rooms behing the Inn. I felt they were clean and good value. We arrived just in time for dinner and left shortly after day break. The area was quiet and we appreciated the lack of heavy traffic. It would have been fun to have had more time to explore the area and linger on that big porch!

Everything was outstanding like the ratings! We stayed in the motel portion since we travel with our dogs and the room was exactly as I expected. What a great place to travel with your dogs though. Plenty of green space for them to run and hiking nearby the hotel. We ate dinner at the dinnerhouse and also breakfast, Joy and Marilyn were lovely and offered wonderful service. Had the chance to meet the owners Fred and Karen and they encouraged me to check out the hotel rooms upstairs, since they keep the door open if vacant. Much history at the Prospect Hotel and Motel, I am so glad we stayed while we visited Crater Lake and the drive didn't feel that far at all. Gloria at the frontdesk was very helpful and friendly and all folks went above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. I will defintely be back for a visit.

Went to the Prospect Hotel to visit the area and most of all Crater Lake, which is not as close as we thought, however, the area around the hotel is well worth the visit. The area is spectacularly beautiful, the Prospect Hotel is a gem and the staff are some of the friendliest people we have ever met. They gave us great information and directions to local attractions and also to Betty's in Union City. The restaurant food and service was great and would go back again just for the restaurant. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.

We stayed in a motel room which had everything we needed. We were traveling from Crater Lake National Park and this was a very convenient and peaceful place to stop on the way. The village is very small and I don't think there would be any other convenient place to eat nearby. Breakfast is offered, but we felt it was expensive so did not have it.

This was my wife and I first B&B experience and I must say that CW exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect, attention to detail makes you feel like at home, the farm setting is very cosy and the food was amazing, including the Bacon & Oatmeal Cookies. If you are looking to unwind and relax this is the place to do it. We are already planning our next visit.

It was charming and the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were inventive especially for a small country inn. If you stay there the you must go see the two waterfalls which were a short walk from the B and B.

If you can't find loding at Crater Lake's in-park lodge (the place books up months in advance, so that's a likely possibility), think about driving another ~45 miles to Prospect, OR to stay at the Prospect Historic Hotel. A completely rebuilt former stagecoach stop, the rooms in the main building retain their 1800s feel - small rooms with period furniture, yet with contemporary comforts - and are perfect for travelers who want to feel as though they re back in the day when trips to Crater Lake were real adventures. The service is excellent, the Dinner House provides superb meals for guests or visitors, and the price-value relationship is reasonable. Well worth the additional drive, this is a quiet hospitable inn that deserves all its accolades.

The staff was warm and friendly. The room clean and quaint. Although the hotel knew it would be full of cyclists leaving earlier than the usual guest, no effort was evident that coffee or breakfast was adjusted to meet the needs of the guests. But, should one expect such treatment? This was a lovely property and I would stay again. I just wished for more effort to accommodate our early departure. Perhaps I'm overly optimistic.

We especially enjoy the restaurant and have always had wonderful meals there. A great place to stay the night after attending an afternoon performance in Ashland on the way home to Portland.

The staff was friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 nights so that we could be close to Crater Lake which worked out well. We enjoyed hiking and shopping there. Someone on the staff also suggested that we view the big waterfall close to the hotel which we did. They were lovely. The rooms were clean, and the bed had lots of covers which I "loved".

The staff go above and beyond to be helpful. I had read that Sunset magazine highly rated the dinner offered at the Prospect Hotel....I thought it was good but not outstanding. The rooms are comfortable and clean. I would stay here again but skip dinner.

A great place although farther away from Crater Lake National Park than expected (45 mns). Noisier at night than expected from road traffic. Rooms are nicely decorated but small, and so beds are way too small and mattresses too soft! Bathroom is modern and fully adequate. Restaurant food quality is excellent, but service is too slow due to insufficient staffing, albeit very welcoming and friendly.

Our room was very comfortable and the hostess was very helpful. She provided great information about nearby hikes and hints for touring Crater Lake. The wrp-aru d porch was very inviting.

Excellent service. The evening meal was delicious. Two of us had the salmon which was very tasty. We stayed in the motel, behind the bed and breakfast. Very nice. Nearby are some beautiful waterfalls, and on the road towards Crater Lake wonderful National Forest short walks to scenic areas along the Wild Rogue River. Very peaceful visit. Recommend staying here.

Very dog friendly and welcoming. Food was not up to our expectation of a bed and breakfast, only normal breakfast fare.

Beautifully maintained. Gorgeous grounds. Welcoming, helpful staff . We stayed in the motel portion of the property as we had our Border Collie/Lab mix dog with us. It was perfect. Our room had both a refrigerator and microwave. The bed was most comfortable. We had dinner in the dining room. All in all a delightful over-night stay.

We stayed in the motel for two nights while we visited Crater Lake National Park. The staff was friendly and responsive. The rooms were nice, simply appointed but exactly what we needed. I liked that there were twin beds for my boy/girl children. The one area that was lacking was the same as most motels/hotels--lack of counter space in the bathroom. But that was not a big deal and our stay was very nice. I would definitely return if we were in the area again and would recommend the Prospect Hotel to friends. (We did not eat at the hotel, so I gave that category a 3 since the computer made me put in something.)--TM

We stayed in the Zane Grey room. Comfortable bed and a cozy room. Shower pressure was great and the handmade quilt was a nice touch. A coffee-maker in the room would be a good addition. We arrived for dinner the prior evening and were served an outstanding meal. Breakfast the next morning was also exceptional. I recommend the Prospect Hotel and would be happy to stay again. There are other attractions in the area besides Crater Lake; we plan on another visit to explore some more!

The hotel room was a two room suite with 2 single beds in 1 room and 2 queens in the other. I was traveling with my wife and 2 older children and my mother-in-law and the rooms were perfect for a close location to Crater Lake. The food in the dining room was great but a tad pricey. The front desk help was good and we enjoyed our hike to the falls.

This historic B&B is clean, comfortable and charming. We ate dinner in the restaurant. The food was well prepared and the service staff friendly. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the fresh baked cookies a nice treat. We slept very well. Be advised that this is a historic B&B. Do not expect TV and plush amenities that you expect at a five star hotel. It is more laid back and homey. We sat on the front porch and had a rather pleasant evening talking with other guests. We took the short hike to the falls which we enjoyed. If you are looking for a laid back experience, then this B&B could be your answer. The Homemade quilts and homey touches were appreciated.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and owners. Comfortable atmosphere.

nice historic hotel, pleasant to stay, friendly staff, quiet place near Crater Lake. Peter and Simone

Had a great time - great location, beautiful area, friendly, helpful staff! - The Taylors - August, 2012

This was out third stay at the Prospect Historic Hotel and everything was just as we had come to expect. We were planning to run the Crater Lake Rim Runs and when I made the reservation, I missed the correct date by one day. Management e-mailed me to check and gladly adjusted the dates of our stay. On the morning of the run, we had to leave for Crater Lake Park about 5am and a "to go" breakfast had been prepared for us and left in the fridge! We requested and received the Roosevelt Room which is special since it has access to the balcony on the front of the hotel's 2nd floor - our own private porch! We heartily recommend the Historic Hotel in Prospect, Oregon!

Super cute little B&B about an hour from Crater Lake. Everyone was incredibly friendly & helpful, & packed us a take out breakfast since we'd be leaving for the Lake before breakfast was served. The woman who checked us in also gave us a ton of useful information about the Lake, & also pointed us to a variety of other cool natural features stops in the area. The house is a historic town hotel restored to excellent condition. If you're used to traditional hotels, you may find the rooms & beds a bit small, but it was pretty on par with B&Bs in historic buildings where I've stayed before. We paid $150.00 for a queen-size bed & private bathroom. We had dinner at the restaurant the night before because there really isn't much in the surrounding area & figured it would be easiest to eat where we were staying. I had the stuffed pork & my boyfriend had the lamb chops. Neither were amazing but certainly more than fine, with a functional wine selection. You definitely pay a little premium for eating in the B&B, but we didn't really care -- all we wanted was a hot, convenient meal made of real food. The service was excellent. I ended up making a reservation here because my first two choices were booked (Crater Lake Lodge & Crater lake Resort), but we were happy with how it worked out & would certainly stay again.

An unexpected pleasure. It was hot and air was barely adequate, understandable for such an old historic hotel. Air could stand to be updated.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel before running the Crater Lake Half Marathon, and it was one of the best experiences we could have asked for! An extremely friendly staff, delicious food, a warm and cozy room. The room is a little bit small, but was still very comfortable for the two of us. We had to leave early the next morning to get to the marathon starting line, and they made us a breakfast that we could take with us to go in the morning. Breakfast is complimentary, and a GREAT value with great food. We'll definitely be back as soon as we get the chance. Future lodgers, make sure to check out the falls and park close to the hotel. They are absolutely beautiful. Either one would have it's own national park on the East Coast, and it's well worth the short hike from the hotel to get there.

Good place to stay, but the beds were really firm. Too firm for comfortable sleeping.

Our stay at the Prospect Hotel and Bed and Breakfast was great! It is convenient to Crater Lake and the wonderful geology of that area and it offers great hiking as well.

Nice B&B, Great food at Hotel and in town. Room was smallish with creaky bed but otherwise clean and nice.

That's a bit what we felt like when we stayed in the motel portion of the Prospect Historic Hotel-Motel. The Internet did not work in our room, and the staff didn't seem to worried about fixing it. Instead, we had to go into the living room in the main building or sit on the porch. There we got to see how the "other half" (those in the hotel) lived. We had a kitchenette in our room, where we prepared dinners so we didn't have to pay the exorbitant prices in the dining room, but the kitchen rules were oppressive. They said we couldn't eat on the beds or anywhere on the carpet (which was just about everywhere), so we ate outside on a small plastic table. No breakfast for us in the motel (unless we wanted to pay $12/person), and the shower heads were so low that even the shortest of us had to duck. Then when we got home, we opened our mail to find a charge from the hotel for $6 for "damaging" a hand towel. They even sent a photo of the towel (which looked a little dirty, but certainly not "damaged"). We didn't remember doing anything to any of the towels, so I wrote to the owner to complain. I told him we were sure we did not damage or permanently stain the towel, but that if he was going to charge us for it anyway, we would like him to refund part of our room fee for the faulty Internet. Instead of being sympathetic, he threatened to call the police and charge us with extortion! Needless to say, we will not going near this place any time in the near or distant future. For anyone who does decide to go, I recommend you bring your own towels, don't touch anything, and take your own photos before you leave.

This is the second time we've stayed here, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Only two critical comments: 1) The dinners at the Dinner House are well prepared but heavy. If we were staying more than one night, we would look (perhaps unsuccessfully) for another place to eat, as we wouldn't want to eat that way for more than one night. 2) The aviary in which our dog had to say when we were out of our room proved somewhat disturbing to her. She would have been happier in her portable kennel, which we had with us. On the plus side: 1) The staff is extremely pleasant and helpful. 2) The facility is beautifully kept and very tasteful. 3) The setting is spectacular.

We spent 2 nights at the motel portion of the property. The accommodations were fine, and the staff was friendly and helpful. There are pretty waterfalls in walking distance, and the person who checked us in gave us directions and maps. The location is convenient for several scenic areas on the Rogue River as well as Crater Lake. The service in the dining room was very slow, but the food was good. The food was fairly expensive.

Rooms were small but clean and the location was quaint and quiet. We were about 35 minutes to Crater Lake entrance and many other enjoyable sites along the way.

The mattress was quite hard, a little too much so for an aging back!

This part of PHH is a separate and rear wing, in reality a motel on the ground floor. The rooms are small and dark, not conducive to lounging. They are comfortable for sleeping, however. The PHH seemed a bit pricey, but it is the nearest hotel to Crater Lake, and outside the park. We visited in the summer when the weather was pleasant in the evening, so we ate outside on the lawn on some patio furniture. The small town of Prospect is charming and there is a nearby coffee shop restaurant and a pizza/salad/calzone restaurant further up the street. The meals at the PHH are large and a tad pricey-- but not out of line. We didn't eat there. If you visit in the cold weather season, the B&B is probably the better choice as the smaller motel rooms could seem oppressive. Overall, given the small town ambience and nearby natural attractions, I recommend PHH with just a few caveats and reservations.

This B&B lives up to its reputation! Great accommodations and value. Staff is most certainly service minded and detail oriented. Terrific food and guest service in the restaurant.

The hotel, motel and surrounding grounds were very quiet and peaceful. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The highlighted local amenities and activities. The local water falls were a really neat site to go hike to and see. I would not have known about this unless they told us, We played some horseshooes to help wind down in the later afternoon. The local tax was only 1% of the quoted room rate which is very low compared to most urban areas and cities which approach 15%. The food and wine was a little on the pricey side; which was good but not great. We enjoyed the dining atmosphere but the food was average. It had great potential. It was not bad, just could have been better. I would definitely return and would recommend it if you want a good place to stay and if you want peace and quiet.

We stayed on July 5th, and enjoyed the stay. The breakfast was wonderful! Our only complaint is how well we could hear the other guests snoring during the night - so we suggest putting a small fan in each room for white noise. But overall it was quite enjoyable.

Top notch service on lodging and food! Easy drive from Crater Lake.

Prospect Historic Hotel is in a great location, and is a very cute place. We stayed in one of the motel rooms in back....obviously we didn't expect it to be as quaint as the hotel probably was, however, the motel is pretty sparse. It might be nice to put a little 'charm' into those rooms as well. The beds could be upgraded some, and the air conditioners brought up to par (ours never did cool the room!). Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay - the property is beautiful - area to picnic & grill if you wanted. We did have breakfast one morning, and it was very good - not quite worth the rate of $12/pp, but good! We had a great time, and would definitely go back. Thank you!

I love this place. It is super clean, well maintained. The decoration inside makes me feel at home. It is a perfect choice for a vacation to crater lake.

The house is nice, clean, good situated, but a little old fashioned. The rooms are clean and nice, but small. Some nice waterfalls in the neigbourhood for short walks and a good stay to go to Crater Lake. Dinner was good, but below our expectations, so we eat the second day in Becky's a little further. We are middle ages but the Historic hotel is more suitable for older people.

This is a very nice property with lots of amenities on the grounds (and lovely waterfalls within easy walking distance). Staff is very friendly and we enjoyed our stay. I think it would be an ideal location for a family reunion.

Prospect is a tiny town off the highway to Crater Lake - only the post office, hotel, a bar, store and gas station. We were absolutely delighted with our stay in the Prospect Hotel on our two day visit to Crater Lake in late June. The walls have pictures of the hotel over the years and the staff will tell you the history. There are two beautiful waterfalls that are a short hike from the hotel - the receptionist gave us a map and other helpful information when we arrived. We stayed in the old hotel in the Jack London room (there are also motel type rooms in the back of the property). The room was small and the sink was in the bedroom, but there was a little desk and bedside tables on both sides of the queen sized bed. The bathroom was modern and clean. The wallpaper was period and there were red sheets on the bed! While the room was at the front of the hotel and there are other rooms nearby that were not ensuite, the hotel was very quiet. There were Jack London books in the room to read and chocolate on the bedside table... We arrived in the late afternoon and hiked to the waterfall. Then read the books from out room on the wide veranda with a glass of wine before dinner. The food was good – salad and dessert comes with the entrée. Small but good wine list with good wines by the glass. Breakfast is preset, but ask what it is and you can modify if you want (we were served pancakes one day, but the table next to us asked for scrambled eggs). We would definitely stay again.

Our stay at the Prospect was delightful. All was "as advertised", including and especially the beautiful walk through the forest to the waterfalls. We had a fantastic dinner at the restaurant, though the rib-eye was a bit on the spicy side with lots of peppercorns. A great location for "jumping off" to Crater Lake.

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay in a beautiful setting. The service was so friendly and professional and the food in the restaurant was extraordinary. Especially the buttermilk hazelnut huckleberry pancakes! We would come back anytime. Thanks.

Good proximity to Crater Lake. Good access to Rogue River, Waterfalls etc. Loved the dining experience and the comfy sofas on the front porch in the evening. Helpful route info.

Much better than chain hotels which are similar everywhere but quite expensive and although breakfast was "different" it would have been good to have some choice.

This was a great find. We stayed in the motel section and it was everything we needed. We didn't get a chance to try the restaurant but definitely next time.

Great location, great room and excellent food and service. Can not ask for more.

Had a great time. Very nice people. Good food . As Arnold once said "I'll be back". I have already reserved for next year CBX run.

Excellent location for a stay while visiting Crater Lake or the Upper Rogue River. Friendly, helpful owners and staff. Nothng fancy, but low key charm. Clean. Don't miss hiking to the water falls in the area.

WE were there off season (late May) to visit Crater lake NP (it was indeed "off season" and we didn't see much of the NP, through fog and snow). The hotel itself was charming with very kind and attentive hosts. This is an old hotel with smaller rooms (we stayed in the Jack London room, which was quite nice).

Our stay at the Prospect Historic Hotel, in the main Bed & Breakfast area, was a wonderful, peaceful retreat. Our anniversary is in April, perfectly timed for catching all the B&B's in the off-season. We had the place pretty much to ourselves, and enjoyed our stay along with the many short walks and hikes nearby leading through gorgeous woods to even more gorgeous waterfalls. Service: Friendly, helpful, personable. The owner was eager to talk but also ready to leave us be when we wanted, and gave us great advice for local walks, hikes, and activities. Food: Excellent. We enjoyed two delicious breakfasts, letting the chef decide and we were not disappointed. Rooms: Small, but clean, nice, quaint, and cozy. Bathrooms very clean. Each room has its own bathroom. Extras: A sitting room with a fireplace, which they will turn on for you if you like. Free wifi. A pathway around the grounds, with a coral with two horses, grassy field, a creek with a bench. Nearby: Good food at the local diner nextdoor. Waterfalls within walking distance. Crater Lake is about an hours drive away; in April, though, there is tons of snow and only one narrow viewpoint at the main lodge area.

I stayed in the motel section. Everything was fine, but room just did not warm up, even with the heater set at 70.

A wonderfully charming place to stay in Prospect, OR. Extemely friendly and helpful staff! B&B is beautiful, motel part is old but well kept and very clean! A great value all around, we will be back for sure!!

Outstanding in every way: Food, location, service. Cannot think of anything we would change. Can we move in and stay forever?

After visiting Crater Lake, we stayed here one night along our road trip. Upon arrival, we were given the option to visit the available rooms and pick the one we liked the best. The rooms were small, but comfortable, and decorated with antique furniture and cozy quilts. Our room had a private bathroom with a stall shower, which was also small but adequate for our stay. All in all, it was very charming, and felt like I was staying over my grandmother's house! We were given a map to take a short hike on a wooded path to a lovely waterfall. The B&B is also a "Dinner House," so we decided to have dinner there. The staff was very friendly, but the dinner was quite disappointing. However, the breakfast the next morning was very good. I would recommend this inn if you like old-fashioned country charm with a down-home feel and friendly staff.

We will definately stay again. Love having wine on the porch. Nice people, clean rooms. We stayed in the motel part becase we had our little dog but had dinner in the hotel.

Really nice people. Loved sitting on the front porch and drinking wine. Great prices. The dining room is nice but the food could be better. Overall still an excellent.

Truely enjoyed our stay at Prospect Inn. We stayed in the hotel with our pet and it was very quiet and comfortable. We also very much enjoyed our dinner at the Inn - food was delicious.

The hotel was quaint and historic. Out of all the places that we stayed overnight in OR this was the one with the most personality and charm!

It was great, comfortable and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Very nice room. Small but clean and well kept. Quaint. Very friendly and helpful staff. Wourd recommend to others

Very good place to stay on way to Crater Lake. Very quiet. Grounds lovely. Staff and owners very friendly. Enjoyed our one night stay. Will come back.

This motel is a quiet out of the busy world of business, comfortable place to stop. Accomodations in the kitchenette room were more than adequate. We enjoyed the restfulness of the setting. Just a hop,skip and a jump from an exceptionally beautiful waterfall. The host and hostess were generous with their time, friendly and helpful. We had opportunity to see the hotel on the first and second floor, though we didn't try the third floor. It was beautiful. The hostess was glad to answer questions we had. We would have no problem recommending a stay in this location of excellent service, cleanliness, and hospitality. J and B

The staff was very accomodating as I came in early and left early in the morning. Therefore, I did not use any services other than the room. The room was sufficient, but the bed was not very comfortable. Other than that, the room, staff and location was fine.

Originally I was disappointed that I could not stay at the lodge at Crater Lake but Prospect Historic Hotel was even better then the lodge. I found Prospect historic Hotel very charming. I loved my room and was pleasantly surprised when they told me I could pick out my room. I loved the hikes to the waterfalls and Avenue of the Boulders. I would love to come back in the future.

Food in restaurant was exceptional. Motel room was clean, efficient and comfortable.

We stayed in the motel part of the Prospect Hotel. It was very nice and comfortable. The hotel itself is absolutely delightful and the dinner was very good. Loved the atmosphere!

From the efficient check in to check out next day everyone made our stay seem special. The room we chose was the John Muir which comes into the category of "cosy" but it had all the amenities we required for a one night stay and was well presented and clean. Sat on the porch prior to dinner and were spoken to by a cheerful, friendly guy who turned out to be Fred Wickham. He served us a cold beer and told us some of the history of the hotel. Dinner was very good, nothing fancy but high quality food. Next morning at breakfast we met an equally jovial Karen who also spent time talking to us. The enthusiasm of the Wickham's obviously rubs off on the staff who all were equally friendly and happy to be helpful in any way they could. Prospect itself was a surprise. The town itself is unexciting but as a stop off point between Crater Lake and civilisation it is undersold. The local area is very pretty and there is an excellent waterfall(s) and rapids walk within a few hundred yards of the hotel. 10 miles along the road is a nautral bridge where the local river river surges underground and reappears 50 + yards downstream. May not sound so exciting but is impressive to see and well worth a look. I have only one problem in giving this place a high commendation which is that it may be fully booked the next we want to stay there.

Super convenient location, a comfortable place to rest after a gorgeous trip to crater lake. I couldn't recommend this place more!

Great place, lovely service and amazing food (a bit pricey but good)

the service at the B and B is outstanding. The staff is welcoming, helpful and very friendly. The waitstaff in the dining room is incredible. hats off to the check for the superb meal. The cabins were very bare, very minimal about the same creature comforts that would be expected at a motel 6. they were clean, and convenient though. good stop. good stay.

One night only...unfortunately! Warm welcome to a hotel full of character and excellent service. About 1/2 hour from Crater Lake, which must not be missed. Oh, and don't overlook the prime ribs.

The food was fabulous and we are foodies. The chef even remembered after the first day that my boyfriend did not like grapes. He made a special fruit salad bowl for him the next morning. Most of the wines were regional and dinner was the freshest I had on my trip. The recipes are all from the Innkeepers and a few tweeks from the chef. You will love the light refreshing house made salad dressing. Our room was clean, comfortable, quiet, and the in room touches such as local artisan chocolates were great. We stayed in the Jack London room and could not be happier. The porch was great for relaxing with a book and a glass of wine in the evening. The near by falls were stunning. The staff was welcoming, knowledgable, and a joy to come home to in the evening.

This hotel has been very nicely restored and decorated with beautiful antiques. Our room, Pearson, was somewhat small as is to be expected in a hotel this age. However, we found the room to be very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The staff was very accommodating, the cleanliness supurb, the meals delightful. Our overnight trip to Prospect and Crater Lake was a very memorable experience. Carl and Ginger Vertrees, Redmond, Oregon.

Hotel location is very nice, quiet. We can get good relaxation. Hotel room is comfortable. For dinner, prime rib is excellent and recommendable.

I had a lovely stay there. Was especially impressed with their kitchen. Food was very, very good!

We had a great one night stay at the motel. We loved the grounds around the property. When we checked in we got all sorts of wonderful information about things to do and our trip the next day to Crater Lake. We were traveling with our young dog and the hotel and restaurant staff went above and beyond so we could eat dinner outside the restaurant with our dog. Breakfast and dinner we really fantastic (great lasagna). We will definitely be back.

Our stay was great. The rooms were what you would hope for in a quaint setting like the Prospect, and very clean. Breakfast was a real treat. Be sure to visit the nearby waterfalls.

this place popped up searching for lodging near Crater Lake -- but it is 45 minutes away, in the middle of beautiful forest terrain. It is a friendly and beautifully appointed place, and the dining was excellent. The room itself was less pleasant -- a tiny prefab shower in a small room, arctic air conditioning with no thermostat, a very comfortable bed on a squeaky spring. Still, there isn't much competition for places to stay.

Great to find a comfortable inn with handicap accessible rooms near Crater Lake. Meals were delicious, especially the breakfast of hazelnut french toast! Owners were very friendly and helpful providing guidance to additional local sites.

spent 2 nights and enjoyed our stay, staff friendly and helpful, interesting, clean, well maintained old building, good breakfast. Dinner reasonably priced for 3 courses but salad was the only starter which is not much good for those of us that don't like rabbits food, service was a little chaotic although we arrived at the reserved time it was some 30 minutes before the salad arrived and the restaurant was not full. The waitress was helped or more like hindered by the well meaning owners, service would have been better if they had let her get on with her job. But having said that its still a nice quirky place to stay, we would return if in the area again.

Front desk very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Pointed several nearby waterfalls that we visited the next morning. Ate dinner and breakfast ate the Inn, very nice.

Wonderful hotel in a sweet little town. Hotel is a historic landmark, remodeled with antique furniture, quilts, etc. The wrap around porch is fantastic. We found it a relaxing place to read, relax, and talk with other guests. Wonderful breakfast comes with the room (huckleberry hazelnut pancakes, delicious egg creations, etc.) Gourmet dinners, really good food, expensive but appropriate for what you get. Not sure of the only two other dining places in town (We had our second night's dinner out of our cooler instead of trying the pizza place or the bar/cafe down the street). Our room was tiny, but I think other rooms were larger (maybe more expensive). It forced us to spend time on the porch or the sitting room / parlor. Staff was helpful, giving us ideas on hikes and things to see. Even the breakfast waitress acted as a tour guide. There are amazing short waterfall hikes beginning right outside the door of the lodge, plus Crater Lake and several Rogue River hikes nearby. A bonus for us was that we happened to be there the day of the annual timber carnival, complete with a sweet little parade, log rolling contests, greased pig contest, three legged races, food, music, crafts, etc. I felt privileged to join in the town's celebration. A quiet, peaceful, happy place to be.

We made reservations here for a visit to Crater Lake. The service and value was great, the accommodations were excellent. I would recommend this B&B.

After driving 5+ hours from Portland, Or, we found the little house in the tiny town of Prospect. The relaxed atmosphere was just what we needed, and the added surprises were the wonderful short hikes to the water falls. We liked them so much, that we explored them another day. The Avenue of Boulders was really amazing and worth a visit again. The only negative in the room, the beds were very very firm. But after hiking all day, just to lay down, felt good.

We enjoyed our stay at the Prospect Historic Hotel. The staff was incredibly helpful.

This is a great little place to stay if you plan on seeing Crater Lake. The rooms are tiny but nicely deocrated. The overall ambience of the hotel and properties was relaxing and pleasant. The only thing is, Don't Eat the Food in the dining room! It was awful. I read a few negative reviews about this but wanted to give them a chance. If you like microwaved reheated food then fine!

We checked in at 8:30 p.m. and found few dining option. Apart from that, we loved our stay. The room was nice, the location was great, and we enjoyed visiting the nearby waterfalls.

My husband and I and teenage son enjoyed our stay & our meal in the hotel restaurant. This is a charming old hotel that is full of history. The bathroom in our room was nice and large. Our son had his own adjoining bedroom, which was nice. My husband and I were very comfortable. My son complained however about the lack of air conditioning and said that the bed was too hard for him. I have a bad back and my bed was just fine for me. The hotel has free wifi, but don't expect a fast connection that lets you use more than search engines. My husband couldn't get his work email to function. If you don't need high speed wifi or air conditioning, I recommend this charming hotel.

Friendly staff - suggested hikes near and far and other site seeing adventures. Prepared meals for my dietary needs.

While the food was good, the service was below my expectation. The server was the only person there for the whole dining area. She had to host, wait tables, bartend and cashier. She tried her very best, but the lack of support greatly hindered her service.

Drove to the hotel for our 40th anniversary. Nice visit, great meals, short walks to spectacular waterfalls.

Genuine Welcome, Ambience superb, Bedroom delightful, Staff unobtrusive. Small tasteful details throughout. Location interesting. A house full of history which Fred and Karen share with you. We stayed in the Jack Landon room. Bed was comfy? Small history of the hotel And even books by Jack available in the room. Lovely porch to sit and read and have after dinner coffee. Maybe a bit overpriced, and Fred a little assertive but Karen an delight at Breakfast. Would I stay again. YES. Would I recommend it to. Friend. YES. Veronica and Peter Murphy. August 3rd' 2011

Our stay at the Prospect Historic hotel-Motel was very pleasant and made our visit to Crater Lake very easy.

We recently visited Crater Lake National Park, and stayed at the Prospect Hotel, located about 20 miles south of the park. There are not many places to stay in this area outside the park except campgrounds. The Prospect is a wonderful old building with lots of history. The rooms were small, but certainly well kept. Another reason we stayed here was because there is a restaurant at the hotel -- not many restaurants in the area either. We were surprised to find such a good quality restaurant, and enjoyed our meals there. Also the veranda was a nice place to sit and relax with a glass of wine after a long day touring Crater Lake!

The room was quaint and tasteful. The food was excellent and the wait staff was fun and informative. The Pearsony and Barr waterfalls near the hotel were unexpected and certainly worth the short hike! The Rogue Gorge and Natural Bridge were also worth the vist while in the area. Take time to do all 4!

I chose this place as a compromise - Crater Lake lodge has been full and this place has been a closest one though in 34 mi from the park entrance. Sometimes one gets as lucky as I was in this case. What a hidden jewel we hit! Who could expect these wonderful waterfalls within a walking distance. This place surroundings themselves could be a real attraction even if Crater Lake has not been that close. That's besides having amazing hosts providing a charming hospitality and amazing dining room experience! Pleasant surprise that was a highlight of our trip!

Our family of four stayed at the Prospect Motel from July 21 to July 25, 2011. We chose this motel while visiting Crater Lake because the Crater Lake Lodge was full and this motel is a 40 minute drive from Crater Lake National Park. We read some wonderful reviews on the place so we were really excited to stay there. What a disappointment it was! The motel inside looked old and run down. We got the largest room available which included two queen beds and two twin beds. The mattresses on the twin beds sagged badly and gave little support during the night. The microwave did not heat well. On our first day there, the electricity went out because it could not handle the AC, the TV, the lights and the microwave running at the same time. Behind our room, the maids' clutter was left out for us to see all day and night. We could hear them walking around early in the morning while we were still trying to sleep. Maid service was mediocre at best as we had to pick up bath soap and Splenda ourselves from the office because the maid had not bothered to replace them. Two nights before we left, the toilet chain broke and one of the maids jerryrigged it so that we could still flush it. It was never fixed right before we left the motel. Shortly after our return home, we received a receipt of $25 charged to our credit card for a missing sauce pan. No one had bothered to call us to ask if we knew anything about it. We do not know what happened to that sauce pan but if we had wanted a sauce pan from Oregon, we would have bought a new one ourselves for less money. We even ate at their infamous restaurant and the salmon was full of bones! If you still want to stay here, just make sure you have someone walk through the room with you before leaving to check off the inventory.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Unfortunately some people use review sites as a weapon against properties that have justifiable issues with the guest. This negative review attacking us (about our motel NOT our B&B), is because they have had to pay for a pot taken from us. We inventory kitchenettes at each change of guests. Our Assistant Head Housekeeper verified the pot was in the room the day prior to their departure as it was “full of food” when she checked the refrigerator’s operation. The next morning the same Assistant Head Housekeeper found the pot missing! Phone calls to their cell had no response. We don’t know what happened to the pot. It was there when they checked in, it was there the day prior to check out, and was gone after they departed. We charged them the $25 it cost to replace the pot. All of his made up complaints are SOUR GRAPES for having to pay for the pot. He told our receptionist that they “Had a great stay!” upon departure. NO complaints! AAA just rated us at 2 Diamonds rating, the best they give to Motels without pools or fitness rooms! The room NEVER had any electrical issues as these have to be reported to me. When the toilet chain broke (as they do), it was fixed immediately with no more problems. Their room was near Housekeeping so carts are visible after 10am and everyone goes home by 3pm except for the laundry person who shuts down no later then 9pm. Nothing was out all night. Perhaps he heard other guests early in the morning! Missing soap and Splenda does not constitute ‘mediocre’ service. Other reviewers have rated us 4 and 5 stars for our service. We serve Fresh Wild Pacific Coho Salmon which has larger bones then farmed fish that are typically so soft one may not notice them. Fish has bones. I am sorry that the guest is upset, however if every person that stayed here took our equipment and were not held responsible for the loss we wouldn’t have any equipment left! He is only upset because they were charged for something they took from us!

A beautiful area with 3 waterfalls within walking distance.

Hotel itself seemed very nice and well restored. Did not see any sleeping rooms as we stayed in the motel section. Dining room very nice and well staffed with limited but good selections. Motel rooms were adequate but just. Be sure to check out the amazing Giant Sequoia in the corner of the hotel property!

Loved the location. Nice hikes right there. Staff was outstanding, attentive and helpful. Loved the porch and the other guests. Breakfasts were very good. Not as exceptional for dinner relative to cost. Would stay again.

We stayed in the historic building -- the John Muir room to be exact. It is on the third floor, small, but we expected that. The whole place was very nicely decorated with an early 20th century feel and was greatly to our liking. It would be nice to stay at the Crater Lake Lodge, but my experience with the older national park lodges, is that the rooms are equally small and difficult to maneuver, and are very difficult to get into and except for the experience of staying there, not particularly worth it. The Prospect Hotel is located in a small town (there is gasoline and a couple eating places available) and has a great deal of character. Definitely worth it! The Prospect Hotel provides a great base for exploring the area -- and there is much to explore. You can relax with on the front wrap-around porch with beverages of your choice. We stayed two nights, dining once in the hotel restaurant and once at Becky's Restaurant just up the road near the Rogue Gorge. Stay here and you become part of the history of the place along with some of the more famous guests!

We were looking for a place to stay during our visit to Crater Lake. With the Crater Lake Lodge booked up a year in advance, we were looking for something close that was also nice. The Prospect Hotel fit the bill. About a 40 minute drive to the Lake. The breakfast was very good; they also offered dinner in the dining room with table linens, decorations, and the works. A little pricey but very good. We stayed in the William Jennings Bryan room in the Historic Hotel - the bed was a little harder than we were used to but after a full day touring and hiking around Crater Lake we managed to sleep OK. This particular room is over the kitchen so it doesn't really quiet down until kitchen cleanup is complete around 1030 or 11 PM. If that is an issue for you I would book a different room. The staff was very cordial. There are several short hikes nearby; otherwise Prospect is very quiet.

Cute hotel! Stayed in the motel part of the Prospect. Rooms are cozy, a bit older but okay. They had some good sized mosqitos but, being near the river, that's to be expected. The food and service at the restaurant was fabulous and well worth the money!

we weren't in our room much due to having a family reunion so our time was with family. as for the room, it was small and tight quarters to accomodate 4 people. otherwise, the area is beautiful and convenient

We stayed in one of the rooms in the house. Comfortable and Clean, would definately recommend to others and stay here again. Close to Crater Lake and other area attractions.

We had a pleasant stay at the Prospect Motel. We were promptly greeted and the room was very nice. Quiet part of town, with friendly locals. Didn't spend much time around the complex as we were busy sightseeing. However, when we ran into a snag, we did get very useful guidance from the hotel clerk. Ate at the historic hotel--good food and service. Would recommend

Nice place. Hard to find places that fit our family of 6. This worked great. Got some wonderful information from the owner about some hikes and sites in the area: lava tubes, waterfalls, and avenue of giant boulders. Ended up being some of our favortite places we saw!

Clean and well-maintained, with lovely grounds, and a fine restaurant. Nearby there are short hikes to waterfalls on Rogue river tributaries. Close to Crater Lake. Highly recommended.

This was a great historic place. Terrific food and wines. Great service by all. A wonderful retreat! But the rooms were straight out of the late 1800s! OK, so the closets had been converted to baths. Whew! But my wife and I were just barely able to walk around the bed. No place to hang clothes. :-( Keeping it authentic has a price, for sure. We still recommend it, but we could not take more than a couple of nights.

After I killed 10 assorted flying insects in the 1st 30 minutes the room wasn't too bad. A full sized coffee maker, don't see that very often. Staff was very helpfull in recommending local sites to see. Meals seemed a bit pricey, so got most of my meals at Becky's Cafe (Excellent)

Excellent dining experience; great hikes to waterfalls within a very short distance. Nice people.

Wonderful get-a-way in a beautiful setting. Staff very friendly and helpful and the room was very clean, wonderfully furnished and quite comfortable. Would recommend the Prospect Historic Hotel to anyone traveling in the area.

breakfast was very good. rooms in motel where alittle outdated but clean. there was no hair dryer in the room-you need to ask for one at the front desk

June 2011 charming hotel, bed springs noisy which made sleep difficult. Hotel staff very helpful interesting quilts on beds. Room cosy. Food was good, only criticism was the tendency to put a cream on everything would have preferred the option such as the cream on the fresh fruit salad

This hotel reminded me of my little home town, a very relaxing atmosphere, the wrap around porch was perfect for evening cocktails before dinner, and delicious food in their restaurant. We would definitely go back.

What a cute place with a friendly & helpful staff! The food was outstanding. We would definately go back if we are in the area. It was just a relaxing place.

J avais promis à mon épouse un moment de charme ce fut le cas dans cet hotel

for $150 I expected the beds to be way more comfortable. We stayed in the Roosevelt Room and it felt like we were sleeping on the box springs instead of the mattress. Overall, the room was quaint and we had a balcony and the bathroom was very clean and down the hallway. We also ate in the restaurant and I ordered the prime rib. When I ordered it I said I wanted it rare to medium rare and it came out completely overcooked. I'm pretty sure it was a reheat and cooked in a pan. It was dry and tough. Carl's breakfast was pretty good and the wait staff and everyone was very friendly. Do yourselves a favor and go to the bar next door and mingle with the locals. It will be an experience of a lifetime.

Hosts very helpful with good advice about local sights. Pre-dinner drinks on the porch were a highlight in the evening. Main disappointment was the bed (in Boothby) which was very uncomfortable and creaked.

My biggest regret is that we were only there for one night. We (two adults and one child) stayed in the motel portion, instead of in the main house. The suite was exactly what we needed, but the motel rooms lack some of the charm of the main house. The service, food, environment, and basically everything about the stay was perfect. We had not expected that there were things to see in Prospect itself, but there are water falls and trails that we could walk to an explore directly from town. So next time we won't just "pass through".

My partner and I stayed here for two nights. The house is lovely and the owners very nice. The bed was slightly uncomfortable but everything else was great. Food was good but not top star. There is quite a bit to do right in the area. All in all I liked it much better than the Crater Lake Lodge.

We stayed here to visit Crater lake. the motel accommodation was roomy with everything we needed. information was given about a couple of local walks which was appreciated.

The Prospect Hotel-Motel was a great choice as a base to explore southern Oregon. It is a quaint, well maintained, and beautiful property in a beautiful location. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful with information to help us explore the area. There are impressive waterfalls within walking distance of the hotel, and Crater Lake NP is only a 30-40 minute drive away. Sign up for the breakfast for a taste treat and incredible personalized service. Flight issues and delays cause us to miss our first nights stay, but we called last minute, and were not charged for the night. Thanks for an enoyable stay. Jim Madison, WI

We stayed at Prospect Hotel over the 4th of July on our trip to Crater Lake. The motel room we stayed in was great for the price. Everyone at the hotel was very pleasant and helpful. They gave us directions on places to hike and and close by attractions. The dinner in the hotel was very good. Overall we had a great time!

We chose this motel because they offered rooms where you can keep your dog with you. We ate breakfast and dinner in the hotel dining room and both were excellent. Service was great and those working the front desk and the dining room were generous with suggestions of things to do and see in the Crater Lake/Prospect area. Karen showed us the Crater Lake webcam on her computer so we knew what to expect from the weather before we left. If we could make one criticism of the motel it would be about the bed in our room. It felt like we were sleeping on the box-spring, and was not very comfortable. We liked the fact that the room had a refrigerator and a full-size coffee maker instead of one of those dinky things you get in most hotels. Overall a very nice place, we would definitely visit again.

My Mom. My two dogs, and myself loved this place. We stayed at the motel with the dogs. The Hotel is beatiful. We did not eat there but the dining room looked very nice! I highly recommend this place. Great stop on your way to Crater Lake!

My wife and I stayed at one of the motel units of the Prospect Hotel for a couple of nights. Our primary reason to visit the area was to spend a day at the Crater Lake National Park. We were very happy with our stay there, and the hotel staff were extremely nice. Crater Lake is very accessible from this hotel, and there are also two nice waterfalls close to the hotel. Several other small state parks are also accessible from this hotel, making it a good place to stay.

A great place to stay midway between Ashland and Crater Lake. Many beautiful short hikes near the hotel, which was especially appreciated because there was still 4 feet of snow at Crater Lake. We stayed at the hotel in the Jack London room --small but very charming. Dinner and breakfast (included with room) were truly outstanding.

We were treated like old friend or family members. Excellent staff, outstanding food (e.g. Huckleberry Pancakes...) and beautiful rooms that tell the stories of all the famous people who have stayed there

The 4 of us felt very well in this very nice and historical place and the hosting as well as quality of the food has been very, very good.

The B&B is just beautiful and really gives you the "historic" feel without the run down appearance and with modern amenities. The motel is nice but obviously cannot compare with the B&B hotel. The location is great and the people who run the place are just marvelous. The manager waited for us until after 11 PM to check us in because we had gotten delayed on our drive down from Seattle. We'd like to return someday for a longer stay. Crater Lake is magical and humbling at the same time.

Stayed in motel not B&B. Was clean, nothing fancy which is what we expected. Beautiful grounds and great location. Service was great. All very nice.

We staying in the motel, much like any motel, but the Inn is charming and the grounds very welcoming. Dinner at the Inn was outstanding and a great value for the price. The waterfalls are worth the short walks. A lovely stay. Kathleen Baker

I was expecting quaint but tired, for the photos didn't do it justice. It was quaint, but so much more. Clean fresh rooms, each with a past, interesting histories & memorabillia to suit. Staff were more than helpful, eager to share their knowledge, we would have missed some of the most stunning waterfalls of our trip.... Everything was run smoothly, with expert hands, everything just right... shows great experience. Thank you.
