Budget Inn Motel Chemult

This is a roadside motel close to the northern entrance to Crater Lake. It IS an extremely old building, with low, squat ceilings, but it's built of concrete, not wood, and for that reason is extremely well insulated - you'll hardly need the heater or AC - PLUS I could hear absolutely no noise from my neighbors (except when they passed by the front door). I also found it clean, and the bathroom water and drains worked fine. The old couple who runs it were friendly and helpful. The room rate was reasonable. I admit it didn't look like much, but it was a pleasant surprise, and well worth it.

The check in was quick and easy, and the attendant was friendly and polite. The rooms were basic motel spaces, but I could tell they worked really hard to keep it fresh and clean - all the linens had that classic hotel bleach smell, and the carpets looked great. The bed was firm and comfortable. The mini fridge and outlets all worked well. I was very pleased, it honestly exceeded our expectations for a small motel in a small town, and if we're in the area we plan to stay there again.

The only thing I wish was different was the shower was pretty small and it leaked a bit where the spout was attached to the wall. We both had trouble getting in the path of the water since it was not adjustable.

The room was very clean. Loved having a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker in the room - saved a lot not having to eat out every meal. Bed was comfortable.

This is not a complaint against Budget Inn, but rather Booking.com. There seemed to be some lack of communication between Booking.com and the proprietor, which necessitated a couple long waits on the phone for Booking.com and then in the end, Budget Inn was charged an extra fee. (I left a tip to cover his fees, but it was wrong for him to be charged.)

Clean, budget friendly, and convenient spot for a simple night's rest before a trip to Crater Lake and Toketee Falls. Travel center, gas stations, cafes, and a food truck nearby with delicious tacos.

Noise from the main road.

The owners are always very friendly to my family and I. I really like the Pilot truck stop right behind the motel because it made it easy to get snacks for the kids.

It's right off the highway, so you do hear the semi trucks passing through, but honestly, it was not that bad at all.

I expected it to be cheap because of the price and location, and it was perfectly fine for what it is. The building/room is clearly very old, but very well taken care of. Everything worked that needed to be (the big fan was a nice touch, really helped me sleep).

My only complaint was the wi-fi, which was abysmally slow. But again, can't hold it against them because I'm sure there's not great options in this area, so I'm not upset about it. People might want to know if they're planning on getting any work done though.

It was a retro hotel that looked like it was built in the 40's but it had recently been painted and the linens were clean and the room had great amenities.

The cable was lacking and the remote was confusing.

It was nice and quiet. Bed was more comfortable than mine. The airplane sized moths stayed outside, even when the door was open and they were too fat to fly anyway.

For the time of year, the breeding population of giant moths was huge. Lots of them, all outside. In the room not a single one. The sign for the motel could be bigger. Missed it the first time through. It's a small blue sign.

We loved the value and were close to the North entrance to Crate Lake park the next morning. Able to check in quickly and loved our room as we reserved two beds.

The room was great, with limited dining options later in the evening in Chemult, maybe just summer of 2021 with placing having a hard time staffing, and of course, this is a small town. Does have an Amtrak station!

The motel was very old and quaint but very clean and the location next to the Pilot truck stop was perfect for quick, delicious coffee and a good variety of snacks

there was a lot of garbage around the back where we were-not smelly but visually unappealing
